(A report by James Gilbert, Assistant Director – Corporate)

The Chief Executive presented a report on the Designation of Section 151 Officer. The Council had an obligation to designate a suitably qualified Section 151 Officer and that the existing Section 151 Officer, Christine Marshall, would be leaving the Council in March. The report sought the designation of an interim Section 151 Officer to ensure the statutory functions associated with the role were fulfilled. Members noted that at present, the role would be undertaken on a shared basis across the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership.

Brendan Arnold had recently been appointed as Interim Director of Finance and it was recommended that be designated as the Council’s Section 151 Officer with effect from 31^st March 2025

The recommendation was proposed by Councillor Anne Dorrian and seconded by Councillor Dale Broughton.

RESOLVED:

That Brendan Arnold, the Council’s Interim Director of Finance, be designated as the Council’s Section 151 Officer with effect from 31^st March 2025.
