(Rule 16) Urgent approval to spend Smartcard project funds

Approval is sought under Park 4B (Rule 16) - Access to Information Procedure Rules of the Council’s constitution to spend the balance of grant awarded to the Council to procure smartcards by the end of the financial year.  For reasons set out below, time is not available to seek approval from the March Cabinet nor through a single member decision to approve this expenditure.

Approval is sought to spend the final element of a South West Smartcard Applications (Ltd) grant for the above project to allow the project to commence.  Urgency is required due to the need to place an order for the production of the first 10,000 e-purse smartcards by the end of the financial year.  There is a 30 day lead-in time to order the cards.
