REASONS FOR THE DECISION
In June 2020, the Board
adopted a portfolio, programme and project management governance structure for
the delivery of the North Wales Growth Deal, including the establishment of
five Programme Boards to oversee operational delivery.
The governance structure
included the appointment of a Lead Member to each of the five Programme Boards
in addition to the existing Lead Member role for Transport. Following the local
elections in May 2022 there is a need to re-confirm these roles.
DISCUSSION
The report was submitted and
it was noted that the Board had adopted a project, programme and portfolio
government structure in order to deliver the Growth Deal. It was explained that
the governance structure included the appointment of a Lead Member to each of
the five Programme Boards in addition to the existing Lead Member role for
Transport.
In order to ensure
succession for the programmes, it was noted that there would only be one change
to the roles, namely that Cllr Jason McLellan would be appointed Lead Member
for Land and Property, taking on the role of the former leader of Denbighshire
Council.
Observations arising from
the discussion
¾
Support was expressed
to adhering to the fields, and the importance of the Lead roles was noted when
pressing ahead with the projects and to assist with any political problems
arising.
