Appointments Committee- Appointment of Chief Executive/Head of Paid Service pdf icon PDF 77 KB

Minutes:

 

Purpose

 

 

To obtain approval for an amendment to Part 4.8 (Officer Employment Procedure Rules) of the Council’s Constitution’s

 

Reason For Decision

 

1.    To ensure that the Appointments Committee is as fully constituted as possible whilst at the same time maintaining the political balance of the Committee;

 

2.    The Monitoring Officer is not satisfied that the amendment proposed is a minor amendment; and

 

3.    The amendment cannot reasonably await the next meeting of the Council because (a) that meeting is set for 27th September 2017 and the Appointments Committee will need to determine its recommendation prior to that date as to the appointment of a Chief Executive  to the Council; and (b) the availability of members without the provision for substitution is not currently guaranteed and it is in the best interests of the decision making process that the committee is as fully constituted as possible.

 

 

Decision

 

That the Chief Executive uses Executive urgency powers under Part 3 (Council) of the constitution to amend Part 4.8 (Officer Employment Procedure Rules) of the Council’s Constitution in the following manner:

 

At the end of Rule 4 insert “ any of the above mentioned Appointment Committee members may nominate a substitute to take their place on the Committee.  Such substitute shall, save in the case of the Executive Member for Resources and Performance Management, be a member of the same political group as the member being substituted.  Any substitute nominated by the Executive Member for Resources and Performance Management shall be a member of the Council’s Executive.”
