Covid 19 Decision Making

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To note that the Constitution provides authority, in certain circumstances, for decisions that would normally require Council or Executive approval, to be made by the Chief Executive, Chief Officers or Statutory Officers. No such decisions have had to be taken during the CV19 period.

 

That MCC will continue to develop its ability to host meetings remotely with a view to holding a Full Council Meeting. Further legislative work may be required to permit the decision making bodies of the Planning Committee and Licensing and Regulatory Committees to function again and, as business finds an equilibrium in the CV19 period allowing routine work and decision making to return, the scrutiny functions of the Select Committees will return accordingly. The AGM may take place at any time in 2020 and all Members holding positions as Chairs, Vice-Chairs, appointed to bodies, joint committees and other such positions may continue to hold them until 30 April 2021.
