EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC
The
Chairman shall propose that the press and public be excluded from the
meeting
during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of
exempt
information as defined in paragraph 12, Part 4, Schedule 12A of the
Local
Government Act 1972. This paragraph should apply because the report
contains
information regarding individuals and the individuals in question are
entitled to
privacy and there is no overriding public interest that requires the
disclosure
of personal information relating to those individuals, nor their identities.
Consequently
the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the
public
interest in disclosing the information
Minutes:
RESOLVED to
exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on the
following item due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in
paragraph 12, Section 4, Schedule 12A, Local Government Act 1972. This
paragraph is relevant as the report includes information about specific
individuals who have the right to privacy. There is no public interest that
calls for disclosing personal information about these individuals.
Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the
public interest in disclosing the information.

DRAW UP SHORT LIST FOR APPOINTING HEAD OF REGULATORY DEPARTMENT
To consider
applications by applicants
Information
and application forms distributed to Committee members only
Minutes:
The Chairman reported that five applications had been
received for the post and that this was encouraging.
In response to a
question regarding the costs of holding an assessment centre, the Head of
Corporate Support Department confirmed that the costs of the Assessment Centre
were not calculated on the basis of cost per head and the Chief Executive noted
that holding an assessment centre was central to the process of appointing
Heads in order to ensure quality and receive an independent view. The cost of making an incorrect decision
would be much higher for the residents of Gwynedd.
The applications
were discussed in accordance with the requirements of the post, focusing on the
main competencies.
RESOLVED TO PLACE FOUR CANDIDATES ON THE SHORTLIST
Members were
reminded that the interviews would be held on 8 November 2016 and it was agreed
to extend an invitation to the relevant Cabinet Member.
INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Five questions and a presentation topic for the interview were
circulated.
RESOLVED that the
questions are suitable.
