Capital Programme 2021/22
The Chief Executive Officer considered the
report presented at the informal meeting of the Executive held on 8
June 2021, and having taken account of the comments made by
Executive Members, resolved for the reasons set out below in this
decision record to:
i. Approve the proposed Schools Capital Programme for 2021/22 as
summarised in Appendix A of the report and including the increased
allocation to the Specialist Provision Targeted Capital
Programme;
ii. Approve the list of strategic priority / modernisation schemes
for 2021/22 as set out in Appendix B of the report;
iii. Approve the Planned Capital Maintenance Programme for 2021/22
as set out in Appendix C of the report;
iv. Agree the continuation of the approach for dealing with any
schools that convert to Academy status following the approval of
the Programme as laid out in paragraph 3.3 of the report.
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
will be reviewed by full Council at its July meeting.
The Chief Executive Officer has taken all relevant information into
account in exercising his emergency delegated powers in this
matter, including considering the views of the Executive
Members.
The reasons for the decision in this matter are detailed in the
Schools Condition Capital Programme Report attached.
