Delegation of Duty or Power Under LA FOIP
Section 50 of LA FOIP provides that the head may delegate to one or more officers or employees of a local authority their powers or duty under LA FOIP:
50(1) A head may delegate to one or more officers or employees of the local authority a power granted to the head or a duty vested in the head.
2) A delegation pursuant to subsection (1):
(a) is to be in writing; and
(b) may contain any limitations, restrictions, conditions or requirements that the head considers necessary.
To help with the task of preparing a delegation instrument, my office has prepared a delegation table that breaks down the powers and duties of a head under LA FOIP. Municipalities can fill out the delegation table according to which powers and/or duties the head wishes to delegate. The head must approve the delegation table in order for the delegation to be effective. The head does not need council approval to delegate powers and duties under LA FOIP.
A copy of the fillable form can be found below.
