Decision details

(Exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972. It was considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information).

·  A proposal for the implementation arrangements, and the comments submitted by affected staff;

·  A voluntary redundancy application;

·  A brief for the position of interim Chief Executive and Director of Resources (Head of the Paid Service and s151 officer), and a recommended candidate shortlist assessed against the brief;

·  A draft presentation topic and draft questions for the interviews for the position of interim Chief Executive and Director of Resources; and

·  A proposed high level timeline for the implementation of the senior management structure.

Having carefully considered the information and candidate applications presented, and following discussion the Committee:

Resolved:

(i)  That the final implementation arrangements, as set out in the report, be agreed.
