CABINET FORWARD PLAN
What is the Cabinet Forward Plan? |
The Cabinet Forward Plan is a list of all non-key and key decisions the Authority intends to take during the next four month period. The Plan is updated monthly on or around the 14th of each month and is available to view on-line at www.york.gov.uk
|
What is a non-key decision? |
For the purposes of the Plan, a non-key decision is defined as a ‘decision of normal importance’ which:
· the Cabinet can collectively take as set out in Part 3 of the council’s constitution
· which any Cabinet Member can take individually in line with the Council’s Scheme of Delegation
|
What is a key decision? |
A key decision is defined as a decision which is likely:
· to result in the Council incurring expenditure, or making savings, which are significant having regard to the Council’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates i.e.:
▫ make a saving of more than 10% of the budget for a particular area - or be more than £500,000 ▫ require spending that is more than 10% of the budget for a particular area - or be more than £500,00
· to be significant in terms of its effects on communities
In addition to elected Councillors, chief officers can also take key decisions in line with the Officers Delegation Scheme as set out in Schedule 3, Part 3 of the Council’s Constitution |
|
What information does the Forward Plan contain? |
Each issue entered in the Forward Plan lists:
· The history of the issue in relation to the Forward Plan · What consultation will be undertaken prior to a decision being made · The name and contact details of the chief officer responsible for the issue and the forthcoming report · The date of the meeting at which a decision is due to be taken · The wards which will be affected by any decision taken
