Members considered a report of the Head of Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services on the need to amend the Employment Rules within the Council’s Constitution in order to reflect the new single management team which supported this Council and Redditch Borough Council, and to amend the Scheme of Delegation to authorise officers seconded to the Council under Shared Service arrangements to exercise delegations on behalf of the Council.
The Vice-Chairman announced that the meeting would be adjourned for two minutes to allow Members the opportunity to read the revised version of the appendix to the report which had been tabled.
Having reconvened and with the consent of the meeting, Councillor G. N. Denaro proposed that recommendation 2.1.1 be altered to refer to the tabled version of the Appendix to the report. The altered recommendations were moved by Councillor G. N. Denaro and seconded by Councillor Mrs. M. A. Sherrey JP, whereupon it was
RESOLVED:
(a) that the tabled version of the Employment Procedure Rules be approved as Part 13 of the Constitution with effect from 20th April 2010;
(b) that the words below be added to clause 1 b. of the Preamble to the Scheme of Delegation:
For the avoidance of doubt, successor post holder(s) include officers placed at the disposal of the Council under secondment arrangements pursuant to s113 of the Local Government Act 1972 or any other enactment or power.
