Minutes:

Council gave consideration to a report setting out that under the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012, before the Council makes a key decision certain information needs to be published 28 clear days in advance. This was usually known as the ‘Forward Plan’. The Regulations recognised that in the case of urgent decisions, this was not possible.

 

The Regulations required a report to Council at least once a year detailing each key decision taken where it had been agreed that the special urgency provisions applied. The Access to Information Procedure Rules included in Appendix 6 to the Constitution required the report to be submitted on a quarterly basis to full Council.

 

In accordance with the above requirement, Appendix 2 of the report set out the key decisions taken where special urgency provisions were agreed since the last report to Council.

 

On the motion of Councillor B Lewis, duly seconded,

 

RESOLVED to note:

 

1)   The key decisions taken where special urgency provisions were agreed as detailed at Appendix 2 to the report; and

 

2)   The urgent decisions taken where the call-in procedure was waived under the Improvement and Scrutiny Procedure Rules as detailed at Appendix 3 to the report

 

A short adjournment took place between 4:04 and 4:10 pm.
