3.    Delegates authority to the Executive Director of Core Services in consultation with the Council’s Section 151 officer and Legal services to finalise the grant offer and contract terms to each applicant – noting that  any variation in the grant offer to either applicant would i) need to sit within the limits of delegated powers and ii) within the overall Towns Fund budget allocation for ‘Project L: CIF’; and
