Under the Call-In and urgency provisions of Procedure Rule 5.15.7 of the Constitution the Council must be informed of decisions taken as a matter of urgency, together with the reasons for urgency.

Executive, 29 March 2018 – Pathway for Care: Next Steps

Reason for urgency: Any delay in approving the proposals could have resulted in the investment proposals being withdrawn, which would not have been in the best interest of the Council or company. Therefore, the Mayor authorised the disapplication of the Call-In procedure as this item was considered urgent under the Council’s procedure rules.

Executive, 26 April 2018 – Property Acquisition of Freehold in Reigate  

Reason for urgency: In order for the Council to meet the vendor’s deadline and to secure the acquisition it was considered that any delay to the decision could result in the Council missing the vendor’s timetable and possibly losing the acquisition which was not considered to be in the best interest of the authority. Therefore, the Mayor authorised the disapplication of the Call-In procedure as this item was considered urgent under the Council’s procedure rules.

Council is RECOMMENDED to note the above report.

RESOLVED: That the report set out on the Order Paper, concerning decisions taken as a matter of urgency under Procedure Rule 5.15.7 of the Constitution, be noted.
