To report (CA13) on a quarterly basis any executive decision taken by the Chief Executive under the specific powers and functions delegated to her under the terms of Part 7.4 of the Council’s Constitution – Paragraph 1(A)(c)(i).  Item not for scrutiny call in.

Cabinet noted the schedule of executive decisions taken by the Chief Executive under the specific powers and functions delegated to her under the terms of Part 7.4 of the Council’s Constitution – Paragraph 1(A)(c)(i) in the period January to March 2011. 

Councillor Zoe Patrick expressed some concern over a trend evident in the schedule for short term contracts. The Leader of the Council stated that he was consulted before such decisions were taken and he gave an assurance that he always checked that the Monitoring Officer had cleared the decision to be taken and that there was good reason for it. It was usually a matter of timing.
