Decision details

At an informal Meeting of the Pension Board Committee held on 7th October 2021 Members considered the Annual Report of the Pension Board for 2020/21, following the suggested amendments at the previous meeting and submission to the Pension
Fund Committee. A further amendment was suggested.
Following the amendment, the Annual Report would be submitted to the November Meeting of the County Council for approval. It was noted that, following approval by County Council, the Annual Report would be published on the NYPF website
Resolved -
That the Annual Report of the Pension Board 2020/21 be approved, subject to the amendment outlined, and be recommended to full County Council for approval and publication.
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 Board, and agreed the recommendation as submitted from the informal Meeting held on 7th October 2021.
