On behalf of the Cabinet and using the special urgency powers, in accordance with Parts 3 and 5.8, the Leader of the Council and Portfolio Holder for Finance and Governance, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Public Realm, Section 151 and Monitoring Officers agrees:
To authorise a virement of £60,000, to increase the Clacton Leisure Centre Swimming Pool Heating System Replacement Capital project budget, funded from within existing Clacton Leisure Centre revenue budgets, that results in an overall increase in the project budget from £1,368,729 to £1,428,729.
Note:
In addition, in order to meet the deadline to sign the funding agreement, permission will need to be granted by the Chairman of the Resources and Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee to exempt this decision from both the Forward Plan and the 5 day call in period, through the special urgency provisions. This will be made through using Rule 15 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules, as set out in Part 5.8 of the Constitution.
As such, consultation has taken place with the Chairman of the Resources and Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee and he has agreed that the Special Urgency Procedure as set out in Overview and Scrutiny Procedure Rule 15 (Part 5.8) can be invoked in this instance.
