The Leader of the Council is elected by the
City Council and is responsible for all of the executive functions
of the Council. He/ she can personally make these decisions or
choose to delegate them, including to the Executive Board Strategic
Regeneration Committee.
The Executive Board Strategic Regeneration
Committee oversees and gives impetus to regeneration projects,
including major transport schemes, jobs and growth projects,
significant property sales and acquisitions and redevelopment. The
Committee also agrees strategies and policies relating to
regeneration projects, and the use of resources to deliver
projects, including accepting and allocating external sources of
funding.
The Committee has the power to take ‘Key
Decisions’. These are decisions resulting in the Council
incurring expenditure or making income or savings of
£1,000,000 or more, or those having a significant impact on
two or more wards in the City. The
intention to take a Key Decision is published in advance in the
’28 Day Notice’.
The Committee’s membership is the Leader
and Deputy Leader of the Council and Executive councillors with
responsibility for Jobs and Growth, Planning and Transportation
and Community safety, Housing and
Voluntary Sector. The Executive Assistant for Housing and
Regeneration is also invited to attend.
The Committee meets every 4-6 weeks and
meetings are open to the public.
