Report by the Director of Law & Governance (CC14)

At its Annual Meeting, Council is required to agree the officer scheme of delegation within the Council's Constitution. 

The Scheme of Officer Delegation is contained in Part 7.2 of the Council’s Constitution.  The Scheme of Delegation itself gives delegated authority to the Head of Paid Service, directors and other chief officers whose titles and/or areas of responsibility are set out in Part 2, Article 13 of the Constitution.  Copies of both Article 13 and Part 7.2 are included as annexes to this report.

Since the approval of the officer scheme of delegation at last year’s Annual Meeting (May 2017) no further changes have been necessary and no senior management reviews have occurred in the meantime. 

The Council’s Fit for the Future transformation programme, working towards a new operating model, may have implications for delegated activity later in the year but not at this time: questions of delegation would be considered as part of the governance implications of any such decisions.
