37 Fireguard Project – Additional Expenditure
Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Operations which sought approval for additional expenditure in support of the Fireguard project which had identified a shortfall in the overall project costs.
Members were advised that the original expenditure in support of the project had been made in accordance with the Authority’s Standing Orders under the Chief Fire Officer’s delegated powers. It was reported that any additional expenditure would exceed the delegated limit and now required formal
