Minutes:
Submitted - the report of the Democratic
Services Manager. He noted that the Council had been successful in influencing
the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales, and the Council's observations
had been reflected in the report of the Panel. He emphasised that the Council
had no choice but to accept the recommendations of the panel, apart from the
salary of the Chair of the Council. Members were free to accept or refuse any
proportion of the remuneration that was offered to them.
Observations arising from the discussion:
-
Concerns
that Elected Members were receiving an increase in difficult financial
circumstances.
-
The
fact that there was one higher salary level now was welcomed.
-
The
Chair of the Council should receive the highest civic salary rate to reflect
the status and the commitments of the role of the Chair.
It was proposed and seconded to recommend
that the Council should set the civic salary for the Chair of the Council at
Level 1 (£24,200), and the Vice-chair of the Council at level 2 (£16,300).
RESOLVED:
-
To accept the report.
-
To recommend setting
the civic salary for the Chair of the Council at Level 1 (£24,200), and the
Vice-chair of the Council at level 2 (£16,300) to the Council.
-
To share the
Committee's observations with the Council.
