Decision Maker: Chief Executive Officer
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
The Chief Executive Officer considered the
report presented at the informal meeting of the Thirsk & Malton
Area Constituency Committee held on 25 June 2021. Having taken
account of the draft Minutes from that meeting, he resolved for the
reasons set out below in this decision record to:
• Extend the current appointments to the Category 2 outside
bodies that fall within the remit of the Thirst & Malton Area
Constituency Committee to the end of the current Council in May
2022
• Appoint Mr Nick Holroyd to the John Stockton Education
Foundation, to the end of the current Council in May 2022
• Appoint County Councillor Greg White to the Poad’s
Educational Foundation (Newton upon Rawcliffe), to the end of the
current Council in May 2022
• Appoint County Councillor Robert Baker to the Thirsk and
Sowerby Swimming Baths Charity Management Committee, to the end of
the current Council in May 2022
By whom: Richard Flinton, Chief Executive Officer, under his
emergency delegated powers and after consultation with the
Executive Members
Please note that usually a non-key executive decision by an officer
is not open to call-in, however in a spirit of transparency such
decisions by the Chief Executive Officer under his emergency
delegated powers WILL be 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 (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. This approach will be
reviewed by full Council at its July meeting.
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
Thirsk & Malton Area Constituency Committee, and agreed the
recommendations of the Committee Members.
Local Bodies - None as the deferment of the
Council elections from May 2021 to May 2022 has meant that the
terms of all Council committees, Outside Bodies and Local Bodies
needed to be extended for 12 months or there would be no
representation upon them.
Appointment to John Stockton Education Foundation – None as
the representative named above was proposed and seconded, and an
uncontested vote was held and the proposed appointment unanimously
supported.
