Issue details

Governance:
The Executive Scheme of Delegation for Officers set out in Appendix 2 Part 4 of the Constitution (and the directorate schemes of sub-delegation made thereunder) provides the governance pathway for the implementation of this decision by officers as it assumes at 1.9 of the scheme that once a Member-level decision has been taken, the implementation of that decision will normally be delegated to officers, so that multiple Member decisions are not required in respect of
the same matter.

In this instance, the Director of Highways, Transportation & Waste will be the lead officer seeking to ensure that all such steps as are necessary to implement the decision are undertaken.

Reason(s) for decision:
From time to time KCC, as a local Highways Authority, is able to access ad hoc funding for highways works that fall outside of the scope of our Highways Term Maintenance contract (HTMC). This decision is taken in order that the service can respond quickly to such additional and/or unanticipated funding, it is proposed that delegated authority is given to the Director of Highways, Transportation & Waste to award contracts for ad hoc highways works such as pothole campaigns, refreshing road markings etc.
