Decision Maker: Chief Executive Officer
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The Chief Executive Officer noted that members
of the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel had met
informally on 22 July 2021, and had agreed to recommend the draft
Minutes from their previous formal meeting held on 24 March 2021 as
a correct record.
Having considered the draft Minutes from the formal meeting of the
North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel held on 24th March
2021, which had been printed and circulated, the Chief Executive
Officer agreed that the Minutes be signed as a correct
record.
By whom: Richard Flinton, Chief Executive Officer, under his
emergency delegated powers and after consultation with the Members
of the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel.
Please note that as a non-executive decision by an officer, 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, 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 has taken all relevant information into
account in exercising his emergency delegated powers in this
matter, including considering the views of the North Yorkshire
Police, Fire and Crime Panel Members.
