Issue - meetings

To consider a confidential report by Councillor Hugh Evans, Leader and Lead Member for Economy and Corporate Governance (copy enclosed) notifying Cabinet of the contract award regarding the development of the Rhyl Waterpark.

RESOLVED that the report be received and noted.

Councillor Hugh Evans presented the confidential report informing Cabinet of the contract award regarding the development of the Rhyl Waterpark.

Cabinet was provided with some background information leading up to the Council’s decision to develop a new Waterpark in Rhyl as part of the Rhyl Regeneration and Waterfront development programme together with progress to date.  In order to meet the construction programme and secure cost certainty it had been necessary to award the contract in early September.  Given those time constraints the decision to award the contract had been made under the Council’s scheme of delegation.  Any delay would have resulted in additional costs being incurred and risks to the project timetable and the Head of Legal, HR and Democratic Services confirmed that he was satisfied that it was an appropriate decision made under delegated powers.

RESOLVED that the report be received and noted.

The meeting concluded at 12.50 p.m.
