The Executive is currently made
up of nine councillors, from the majority political group, and is
chaired by the Leader of the Council.
Each Executive Councillor is allocated a particular area of
responsibility (called a portfolio - these are shown in the
Membership section.)
The Executive publishes, on the
Council's website, a Forward Plan at least 28 clear days in
advance of a 'key decision' being taken by the Executive, a
Committee of the Executive, individual members of the Executive,
officers or under joint arrangements. A
key decision is typically one that is likely to involve
expenditure, or savings of more than £500,000 which would
have a significant impact on people living or working in two or
more electoral divisions of the local authority.
The
Executive normally meet every month at 10.30am, in Committee Room
One, at County Offices, Newland, Lincoln, LN1 1YL. The Executive is responsible for the most
important decisions affecting the Council. It also makes recommendations to the Council
regarding the budget and the policy framework. The meetings are open to the public, unless
otherwise stated.
The
full terms of reference for the Executive are set out in Part 2 of
the Council's Constitution.
