Agenda item

RESOLVED: On the motion of Councillor Peter Rippon, seconded by Councillor David Baker, that the City Council:-

(a)      notes the Leader’s notification of the appointment of a Deputy Leader and Cabinet Members, including their portfolio areas of responsibility, and the appointment of Cabinet Members to serve on the Cabinet Highways Committee (including substitutes), and approves the appointment of Cabinet Advisers, all as detailed in the schedule circulated at the meeting, and set out in these minutes;

(b)      notes that the Leader’s scheme of delegation currently in operation for the discharge of Executive functions will continue, other than in relation to the names and remits of some of the Portfolios of the Cabinet Members,which will be required to be changed to reflect the appointments now made by the Leader, and these will be published and circulated to all Members in the near future;

(c)       notes the main opposition group’s notification of the Leader of the Opposition and approves the appointment of Shadow Cabinet Members, as detailed in the schedule circulated at the meeting, and set out in these minutes; and

(d)      notes that the effect of these appointments upon the Special Responsibility Allowance element of the budget for Members’ Allowances is an increase of £5,536 over a full year (plus employer NI costs, as applicable), due to the payment of one additional Band C allowance for an Opposition Group Office Holder from the number appointed in 2018/19, due to the increase in the size of the main opposition group, with that cost to be met from within the Members’ training and/or supplies budgets through management actions to contain expenditure in those areas over the course of the year.
