To consider the report of the Head of Human Resources & Organisational Development

The Committee considered a report on the engagement and extension of the services of the current Interim Chief Executive.

Council, at its meeting in April 2012, had resolved that the Leader of the Council and the Chairman of the Staffing Committee be authorised, in consultation with the three Opposition Group Leaders and the Head of HR and Organisational Development, to agree the arrangements for the appointment of the Interim Chief Executive.  This led to the secondment of
Mr Kim Ryley until 30 November 2012.  The Leader of the Council and Chair of Staffing Committee were minded to extend his engagement until March 2013 (on the terms set out in the report) and wished to discuss this with the Staffing Committee.

RESOLVED:

That the decision of the Leader of the Council and Chairman of Staffing Committee, following consultation with the Opposition Group Leaders and the Head of HR  and Organisational Development, to extend the engagement of the current Interim Chief Executive until 31 March 2013 be supported.
