Full Council. Full Council sets the budget and council tax and approves major plans.
Revised Allocations Policy for Community Housing
The meeting approved the revised policy and gave delegated authority, meaning power for officers to make decisions without a new vote of councillors, for future changes. That authority covers only minor amendments, such as legislative updates, procedural corrections or changes Welsh Government requires; substantive policy changes must return to Full Council. Officers saw no legal difficulty with the wording 'minor amendments', the Portfolio Member (the cabinet councillor for the service) agreed, and officers agreed that explanatory wording could be added to the guidance notes before publication.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
