To note any items that is a matter of urgency in the view of the Chairman for consideration.

The Chairman shall propose that the minutes of the meeting of this committee held on the 11^th of February 2020 be signed as a true record

The Chairman shall propose that the press and public be excluded from the meeting during the discussion on the following items due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 14 of Schedule 12A of the 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 which would outweigh their rights. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information

To consider the report of the Chief Executive

(separate copy for Committee members only)

a)    To accept that the salaries of some chief officers need to be reviewed but, in light of the fact that we could be facing a freeze on the salaries of officers within the public sector, to defer giving formal consideration to the content of the Chief Executive's report until the Council's staff receive a general pay rise and to revisit the report immediately at that point.

b)    Increase the salary of the Monitoring Officer at its maximum to approximately £70,000 to avoid any unacceptable risks to the Council, and leave the exact figure to an evaluation in line with the approach noted in the report.

c)    To advertise the post of Chief Executive at the current terms.

The Chairman shall propose that the meeting be reopened for the press and public
