In accordance with the constitution, the council publishes decisions taken by the City Mayor, Deputy City Mayors and Lead Members. Use the search options at the bottom of the page to find information regarding decisions taken at executive meetings after 24 January 2017.

Details of previous decisions are available as follows:

Officer decisions are not subject to call-in, however during the period of five working days from the publication of a decision taken by the City Mayor, Deputy City Mayors or a Lead Member, a request to 'call-in' a decision may be made by either:

• If it is within the remit of the Overview and Scrutiny Board, the decision may be called in, if the chair of the board, any two members of the board or any three members of the council submit a notice in writing to the monitoring officer, within the five day period giving reasons why the decision should be scrutinised.
• If it is within the remit of one of the scrutiny panels, the decision may be called in, if the chair of the panel, any two members of the panel or any three members of the council submit a notice in writing to the monitoring officer, within the five day period giving reasons why the decision should be scrutinised.

Requests for call-in are only used in exceptional circumstances and if a decision is not called-in, it becomes effective at 4pm on the fifth working day following publication.
