Article 9 Arrangements for discharge of functions

Charter trustees may arrange for the discharge of any of their functions other than—

the appointment of a city or town mayor or a deputy city or town mayor or of any local officers of dignity; and

functions with respect to issuing a precept for a rate or borrowing money

by a committee thereof or by an officer of theirs or of the district council.

Where by virtue of paragraph (1) above any functions of charter trustees may be discharged by a committee thereof, then, unless the charter trustees otherwise direct, the committee may arrange for the discharge of any of those functions by an officer of the charter trustees or of the district council.

Any arrangements made by charter trustees or a committee under paragraph (1) or (2) above for the discharge of functions by a committee or officer shall not prevent the trustees or committee from exercising those functions.

Section 106 of the Act shall apply as respects any committee appointed by charter trustees as it applies as respects a committee of a local authority.
