Reason for Decisions:
To
provide delegated authority to sign an in principle City Deal agreement on the
basis described in the circulated report.
In this regard, it should be noted that the other three local
authorities (Pembrokeshire County Council, Carmarthenshire County Council and
the City and County of Swansea) are taking similar reports to their Cabinets
and Councils at this time. This process will need the participation of all four
Councils.
Implementation
of the Decisions:
The
decisions are for immediate implementation, the Chairman of the relevant
scrutiny Committee had agreed to this course of action. There would therefore be no call in of these
decisions.
