Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The Chief Executive Officer considered the
report presented at the informal meeting of Executive Members held
on 24 August 2021. Having taken account of the comments made by
Executive Members, he resolved for the reason set out below in this
decision record to appoint County Councillor Andrew Lee to the West
Yorkshire and Harrogate Integrated Care System Partnership
Board.
Under his delegated decision making powers in
the Officers’ Delegation Scheme in the Council’s
Constitution, the Chief Executive Officer has power, in cases of
emergency, to take any decision which could be taken by the
Council, the Executive or a committee.
Following on from the expiry of the Local Authorities and Police
and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and
Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations
2020 (“the 2020 Regulations”), which allowed for
committee meetings to be held remotely, the County Council resolved
at its meeting on 5 May 2021 that, for the present time, in light
of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic circumstances, remote
live-broadcast committee meetings should continue (as informal
meetings of the Committee Members), with any formal decisions
required being taken by the Chief Executive Officer under his
emergency decision making powers and after consultation with other
Officers and Members as appropriate and after taking into account
any views of the relevant Committee Members and all relevant
information. This approach was reviewed in July will be further
reviewed in September 2021.
The Chief Executive Officer took all relevant information into
account in exercising his emergency delegated powers in this
matter, including considering the views of the Members of the
Executive.
The reasons for the decision in this matter are detailed in the
attached report
