7.1
|
Each Local Area Committee has a £100,000
budget to address local priorities, identified within their
respective Community Plans. This report
sets out details of the proposed spending in respect of this
£100,000 during the 2022/23 financial year. This report gives an overview of the general
categories of proposed expenditure and seeks authorisation from the
North East Local Area Committee to permit the Community Services
Manager, in consultation with the LAC Chair, to spend monies to
address identified priorities within the Community Plan.

7.2
|
RESOLVED: That the North East
Local Area Committee:-
(i) Noted the
proposed allocations from the £100,000 budget to address local
priorities in the North East LAC Community Plan in 2022/23, as
detailed in the report.
(ii)
To the extent that it is not covered by existing authority,
authorises the Community Services Manager, following further
consultation as described in the report, to make decisions on
expenditure relating to the priorities set out in the report
provided that:
- the decision is taken
in consultation with the Local Area Committee Chair,
- the decision may not
approve expenditure in excess of the allocated budget for each
priority set out in the report, and
- a report detailing
the delegated spending decisions taken by the Community Services
Manager is presented to the next Local Area Committee
meeting.

Reasons for
Decision
|
|
|
|
The North East LAC is asked to
note the broad allocation of funding under the priority headings
identified to assist its ability to monitor its budget, and to
authorise the Community Services Manager to approve expenditure
above the current delegated authority in certain circumstances so
that delivery of the Community Plan is not delayed.

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
7.4.1
7.4.2
|
Decisions on any expenditure
above the existing authority to the Community Services Manager
could be reserved to the LAC but this would delay delivery of
priority actions to address specific issues identified in the
Community Plan.
|
All decisions on expenditure to support
Community Plan priorities could be delegated to
officers. However, this would restrict
the LAC’s ability to monitor its delegated budget and
delivery of the Community Plan.
