DECISION

It was resolved that there was a need to recruit and appoint a Chief Executive on a permanent basis.

DISCUSSION

The report was submitted noting the need for the decision following the Chief Executive's announcement that he would retire. It was noted that the Cabinet was required to decide whether or not it was eager to fill the post and how they would do this. It was noted that the report highlighted the options and that the Leader had submitted his written opinion on some of the options.

The options were highlighted, which included not filling the post, asking another Authority to take the lead, and to appoint a Chief Executive. It was noted that the Local Government and Elections Act that would come to force this year highlighted the need to appoint a Chief Executive for these regulations. It was stated that a list was included in the report noting the requirements that would be in accordance with the Act and that they would need to be incorporated as part of the job description.
