Minutes:
The Chief Executive presented her exempt report on the proposals for future senior leadership arrangements.
Members noted comments
and observations made by the Consultant who had been brought in to
assist the Chief Executive in formulating her proposals.
Following an enquiry from a Member about redesignating the Director of Regeneration and
Place to Deputy Chief Executive, the Consultant stated that a lot
of authorities in her experience had moved away from having a
Deputy Chief Executive as not only did this create an expectation
of a higher salary, it could lead to difficulties with Heads of
Service being confused over authority.
Councillor McLoughlin proposed and Councillor Mrs Blackmore
seconded to change the designation of Director of Regeneration and
Place to Deputy Chief Executive.
