Iwan Evans, Monitoring Officer to present the report.

Hedd Vaughan-Evans, Head of Operations to present the report.

Iwan Evans, Monitoring Officer to present the report.

The Chair shall propose that the press and public be excluded from the meeting during the discussions 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 Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

There is an acknowledged public interest in openness in relation to the use of public resources and related financial issues. It is also acknowledged that there are occasions, in order to protect public business interests that matters related to such information needs to be discussed without being publicised. The report is specifically about agreeing the appointment arrangements including job details and remuneration  terms and terms that will be subject to a competitive recruitment process.  I also note that the agreed information will be published as part of an open appointment process. Publishing draft information prematurely can undermine the recruitment process.  This would be contrary to the wider public interest of ensuring the best overall outcome. For these reasons I am satisfied that the matter is closed in the public interest.

Geraint Owen, Corporate Director, Cyngor Gwynedd to present the report.
