Reason(s) for Decisions (a) The proposed diversion meets the legal criteria
as required by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. (b) The inclusion of these provisions in a public
path order means that there is no need for a separate legal event order to
modify the definitive map and statement as a result of the diversion. (c) In the absence of objections Dorset Council can
itself confirm the order and need not submit the Order to the Planning
Inspectorate. Options The diverted route is already
in use by the public. A full consultation was carried out in April 2019. |

Decision published: 07/06/2019
Effective from: 04/06/2019
Decision:
Decisions
1. That the procurements
and awards of contracts set out in Appendix A to a maximum value of £5m be
approved, and those over £5m would be reported back to Cabinet for detailed
consideration.
2. In giving this approval,
Members are approving known / likely procurement set for implementation during
2019/20 (or as specifically noted otherwise) on terms to be agreed by the
delegated officer, Corporate Director or Portfolio Holder for each arrangement.
3. That procurements
exceeding the key decision threshold which are not yet identified will be
subject to a separate report for approval by the Cabinet, at
a later date.
Reasons
for Decisions
1. Cabinet was required to
approve all key decisions with financial consequences of £500k or more. It was
also good governance to provide Cabinet with a summary of all proposed
procurements prior to them formally commencing.
2. Planning procurements
effectively ensures: effective stakeholder management; efficient sourcing;
compliance with regulations and contract procedure rules; and, best value for
money.

Decision published: 07/06/2019
Effective from: 04/06/2019
Decision:
Decision
That the request for up to
£600k for pay restructuring
costs be declined as there are alternative
opportunities to access funding for the restructure that will not place
pressure directly on the council budgets.
Reason for Decision
Option 1 would incur
additional cost to the council and put pressure on the budget as this cost was
not budgeted for in 2018/19. Option 2 would result in restructure costs being
identified from elsewhere and could potentially impact the Interim Executive
Board (IEB) restructure timetable.
