NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
NOTICE OF URGENT ITEM
Access to Information Procedure Rule 16 – Special Urgency
<AI1>
2022/23 Early Years Funding
Formula
To the Chairman of the Children & Young People’s Overview
and Scrutiny Committee
The County
Council’s Constitution provides that if a matter which is
likely to be a key decision has not been included on the
Council’s Forward Plan for the requisite period, the decision
may still be taken if an urgency procedure is followed.
Under Access to
Information Procedure Rule 16:
16.1 Where the date by which a decision must be made makes
compliance with Rule 15 (general exception) impracticable, then the
decision can only be made if the decision maker (if an individual)
or the Chairman of the body making the decision, obtains the
written agreement of the Chairman of a relevant overview and
scrutiny committee that the making of the decision is urgent and
cannot reasonably be deferred. If there is no Chairman of a
relevant overview and scrutiny committee, or if the Chairman of the
relevant overview and scrutiny committee is unable to act, then the
agreement of the Chairman of the Council, or in his/her absence the
Vice-Chairman will suffice.
16.2 As soon as reasonably practicable after the decision maker has
obtained agreement under Rule 16.1 above, s/he must make available
at the Council’s offices a notice setting out the reasons why
the meeting is urgent and cannot reasonably be deferred and publish
the notice on the Council’s website.
It is anticipated
that on 8 March 2022, the
Corporate Director of Children and Young
People's Services will consider a report seeking approval to
change the funding rates paid to early years’ providers for
the funded entitlement for 3
The intention to
make the key decision is published on the Forward Plan however it
has not been published on the Plan for the requisite 28 day
period.
This matter requires a
decision by Corporate Director of
Children and Young People's Services on 8 March 2022 and cannot reasonably be
deferred, to enable the timely consideration and progress of this
matter, as the consultation closed on 18
February 2022 and there is a need to approve funding rates by April
in order for them to apply for the financial year 2022/23. The LA
is under a statutory duty to provide early years providers with an
indicative budget for the next financial year by 31
March.
In accordance with
the provisions in the Access to Information Procedure Rules, I am,
therefore, informing you as the Chairman of the relevant Overview
and Scrutiny Committee that it is intended that this matter be
considered by Corporate Director of
Children and Young People's Services on 8 March 2022 and I am seeking your agreement
that the meeting and the making of the decision is urgent and
cannot reasonably be deferred beyond this timeframe. If you agree
that the meeting and the making of the decision is urgent and
cannot reasonably be deferred and that this item should be
considered on 8 March 2022, will
you please so confirm in writing as soon as possible.
