Decision details

The Director of Strategy & Resources (currently acting as Interim Chief Executive) is asked to take a decision to dispose in principle of the “U1” Cherished Plate that is affixed to the official car of the Lord Mayor of Leeds. The plate is owned by Leeds City Council. Research indicates that the value of the U1 plate may be substantial and potentially may exceed the Key Decision threshold. Details of the procurement options are contained within Exempt Appendix 1, along with the values they may potentially realise.

Please see attached report.

Consultation took place with those persons that have the most direct interest in the proposal to dispose of the Cherished Plate, including the most appropriate members of the Executive Board.

Advice was taken from relevant officers as to whether wider public consultation was necessary. Their view was that it was not required given the public impact of any decision would be very low.

Lord Mayor; the Leader; the Deputy Leader /Executive Board Member for Strategy and Resources; the Leader of the Opposition (as a member of the Executive Board); Chair of the Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Board; and the Chief Executive.
