OD/20/101 Disestablishment of Corporate Support Operations Area

Decision Maker: Officer Decision

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

On 3rd November 2020, Executive considered a revised Medium Term Financial Plan (E/20/22) which included a number of savings proposals. These included a proposal to change the way that Corporate Support functions are delivered.

 

Executive resolved to delegate the final decision on this matter to the Chief Operating Officer (or Head of Governance if the Chief Operating Officer is conflicted) so that the relevant consultations can be taken into consideration.

Decision:

To disestablish the Corporate Support Operations Area, making an initial saving of £131,000 with additional savings to be delivered during the implementation phase.

 

Reasons for decision:

The Corporate Support Operations Manager post is vacant. Disestablishing it creates a saving and provides opportunities to deliver some of the functions differently and deliver additional savings, while still meeting the Council’s needs.

There is a need to make savings to deliver the November 2020 Medium Term Financial Plan.
