Executive Details and Decision-MakingMole Valley District Council (MVDC) operates an Executive model of governance, which currently consists of the Leader and Deputy Leader and seven lead members (also known as Executive Members), who have responsibility for various MVDC services. The Executive makes decisions on services within MVDC's policies and budgets. The Executive must comprise the Leader of the Council, the Deputy Leader of the Council (who acts in the absence of the Leader) and no more than eight other councillors appointed to the Executive by the Leader. In addition, the minimum number of members with which the Executive can function is three; a Leader, Deputy Leader and one other Member. Current Members of the Executive
The Leader produces a Forward Plan for each year, which is updated on a monthly basis and covers a four month period. Those decisions which are outside the terms of reference of the Executive are taken by the Council or one of the decision making committees. Officer Decision Making Officer Key Decisions - key decisions to be taken by officers are included in the Leader's Forward Plan and will be published once taken.

Some other non-Executive councillors perform a scrutiny role as members of MVDC's Scrutiny and Audit Committees.

The Audit Committee reviews MVDC's past performance. Both committees are responsible for monitoring the way MVDC and its Executive work and ensuring that any decisions taken are appropriate and mindful to the needs of Mole Valley residents. | |
