By whom: Richard Flinton, Chief Executive Officer, under his
emergency delegated powers and after consultation with the Pension
Fund Committee.
PLEASE NOTE that as a non-executive function, this decision is not
open to call in.
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, 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. This approach
was reviewed by full Council at its July meeting and will be the
subject of a further review at the November meeting of the full
Council.
The Chief Executive Officer took all relevant information into
account, including the details within the report, in exercising his
emergency delegated powers in this matter, including considering
the views of the members of the Pension Fund Committee, and agreed
the recommendation as submitted from the informal Meeting held on
2nd July 2021.
