If the decision has not been published in the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for at least 28 clear days, the reason why it would be impracticable to delay the decision:: The recommendations contained in this report constitutes a Key Decision which has not been included the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for 28 clear days before it is intended that they will be made. Given that the documentation has only just been agreed and there is a need to complete this transaction within this Financial Year the decision to complete the transaction needs to be completed sooner than the 28 days period. It would be impractical to defer the decisions sought until they have been included in the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for 28 clear days. In the circumstances, and in accordance with the Council’s special urgency procedure, the Chair of the Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Board has been consulted and has agreed that the decisions are urgent and cannot be reasonably deferred. Therefore the decision advised in this report is also recommended to be exempt from call-in for these same reasons. .
