(2)   Head of People.

Having previously interviewed the candidates for the posts of:-

(1)    Head of Health and Community; and

(2)    Head of People.

It was moved by Councillor G V Guglielmi, seconded by Councillor Calver and unanimously:

RESOLVED that:

(i)      the Assistant Director (Partnerships) be notified of the name of the person to whom the aforementioned post of Head of Health and Community is to be offered;

(ii)     the Assistant Director (Partnerships) be notified of the name of the person to whom the aforementioned post of Head of People is to be offered; and

(iii)   Council Procedure Rule 20.1 be suspended in order to delegate authority to the Committee Services Manager to approve the draft minutes as an accurate record of the meeting, after consultation with the Members of the Sub-Committee Panel.

NOTE: The Sub-Committee Panel was aware that no formal offers of appointment could be made until the provisions of Officer Employment Procedure Rule 5 had been complied with. Rule 5(b) allowed for a three working day period in which the Leader of the Council, on behalf of the Cabinet, could object to the proposed appointment. If such an objection was lodged the Sub-Committee Panel would be required to reconvene and satisfy itself that such objection was neither material nor well-founded for the appointments to proceed.
