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
and has made the decisions set out earlier for the reasons set out
in the body of the report – see: Executive Agenda 25 May
