Minutes:

The Executive Member for Finance and Support Services submitted a report seeking approval to delegate authority to Officers to ensure an appropriate approval process is in place for the setting of the National Non-Domestic Rates Budget for 2017/18 and future years.  This would enable submission of the National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR1) return to the Government and Hertfordshire County Council by the statutory deadline of 31 January 2017 without the need for additional Council meetings.  The Executive Member explained that Officers would not be able to complete the submission until the end of year software release from Capita in late January 2017.     

 

RESOLVED - that (A) authority to approve and submit the annual National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR1) return to Central Government be delegated to the Section 151 Officer in consultation with the Executive Member for Finance and Support Services for 2017/18 and future years; and

 

(B)      the delegation scheme in the Council Constitution be amended to reflect this authorisation and the Monitoring Officer be authorised to make the consequential textual amendments.
