Issue - meetings

The Democratic and Electoral Services Manager presented the report which set out the options for the appointment of the Performance Panel.  The Performance Panel would conduct the appraisals for the Chief Executive and Directors and was a function inherited from the old Employment Committee.

The Performance Panel had previously been made up of the five Group Leaders but if the Committee wanted it to be politically balanced then this would not be possible. 

RESOLVED:  That

1.  The Performance Panel be politically balanced with a seat allocation of two Conservative Group, two Liberal Democrat Group, and one Independent Group; and

2.  The wishes of the Group Leaders be accepted with regard to Membership of the Panel.
