Report of Monitoring Officer

 

Purpose of report

 

To transfer a power delegated to the former post of Corporate Director: Communities to the post of Corporate Director: Place and Growth.

 

Recommendations

            

The meeting is recommended:

 

1.1      To transfer from the former post of Corporate Director: Communities to the current post of Corporate Director: Place and Growth the power (delegated to the Corporate Director: Communities by the Executive at its meeting on 2 March 2020) to determine whether to support the funding of Bicester Vision for a three year term, in the sum of £15,000 per annum, in consultation with the S.151 officer and the Leader of the Council.

Decision:

Resolved

 

(1)           That it be agreed to transfer from the former post of Corporate Director: Communities to the current post of Corporate Director: Place and Growth the power (delegated to the Corporate Director: Communities by the Executive at its meeting on 2 March 2020) to determine whether to support the funding of Bicester Vision for a three year term, in the sum of £15,000 per annum, in consultation with the S.151 officer and the Leader of the Council.

Minutes:

The Monitoring Officer submitted a report to transfer a power delegated to the former post of Corporate Director: Communities to the post of Corporate Director: Place and Growth.

 

Resolved

 

(1)           That it be agreed to transfer from the former post of Corporate Director: Communities to the current post of Corporate Director: Place and Growth the power (delegated to the Corporate Director: Communities by the Executive at its meeting on 2 March 2020) to determine whether to support the funding of Bicester Vision for a three year term, in the sum of £15,000 per annum, in consultation with the S.151 officer and the Leader of the Council.

 

Reasons

 

The post of Corporate Director Communities no longer exists, and so the power delegated by the Executive at its meeting on 2 March needed to be transferred to a new postholder in order that the relevant recommendation could be effectively discharged.

 

Alternative options

 

There are no alternative options - the delegated power can now most effectively be discharged by the current postholder of Corporate Director: Place and Growth, who has oversight of the work of the Growth and Economy generally and the Bicester Vision project specifically.
