To approve that the Deputy Town Clerk – Adam Clapton, and the Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) – Nigel Warner – are authorised Officers, as well as the Town Clerk/CEO – Sharon Groth – to be able to deal with banking queries and also cash cheques up to £500 for petty cash purposes. 

The Committee noted the request asking that the Deputy Town Clerk, Adam Clapton and Responsible Financial Officer, Nigel Warner be approved as authorised officers in order to deal with banking queries and be able to cash cheques up to £500 for petty cash purposes.

All members approved and recognised this would ensure business continuity of the Council moving forward.

Resolved:

1.      That, the Deputy Town Clerk, Adam Clapton and Responsible Financial Officer, Nigel Warner be approved as authorised officers for banking and,

2.      That, the Town Mayor is added to the bank mandate.
