paragraph 3 of part 1 of schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. The
Chief Executive and Leader of the Council were consulted prior to the
decisions taken. In addition, the
Executive Councillors for (i) Climate change, Environment and City Centre,
(ii) Finance and Resources (iii) Transport and Community Safety were all
copied into the officer briefing paper.
The spokes for Strategy and External Partnerships was advised. There
will be budgetary implications of these decisions which will fall outside of
the current budgetary framework. Some
budget implications are given in the broadest terms in the officer briefing
paper. When officers are in a position
to report further on these, they will be reported to city councillors for
decision at the earliest opportunity. |
