DECISION
 

1.    
Note the Record of Corporate Directors’ Actions set out
in Appendix 1. 

Reasons for the decision

The
Council’s constitution requires that Corporate
Director’s Actions in respect of contracts over
£100,000 must be reported to Cabinet for noting.
 
The regular
reporting of Corporate Director’s Actions should assist in
ensuring that Members are able to scrutinise officer
decisions. 

Alternative options considered

The Council is
bound by its constitution to report to Cabinet financial decisions
taken under Corporate Director’s Actions.
 
If the Council
were to deviate from those requirements, there would need to be a
good reason for doing so. It is not considered that there is any
such reason, having regard to the need to ensure that Members are
kept informed about decisions made under the delegated authority
threshold and to ensure that these decisions are in accordance with
Financial Regulations.
