    5.

    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.

     

     

    6.

    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.
