Council received a report seeking approval to the extension of the appointment of the Interim Chief Executive and asking it to consider the officer management capacity following the announcement of the departure of the Director of Environment, Housing and Regeneration.

Councillor Neil Dallen MOVED and Councillor Hannah Dalton SECONDED the recommendations in the report.

Upon being put the recommendation 1 was CARRIED unanimously, and recommendation 2 was CARRIED with 29 votes in favour, 1 vote against and the Mayor not voting.

Accordingly, it was resolved to:

(1)        Agree to extend the appointment of the Director of Corporate Services as Interim Chief Executive until such time as a new Chief Executive is appointed

(2)        Agree to the appointment of up to two senior interim Directors to join the Senior Management Team, in each case for periods of up to 9 months in order to provide management cover, pending the appointment and commencement of permanent staff in these positions. In each case, this will be either through internal acting up arrangements in the first instance or by external temporary appointments.  A Member Appointments Panel will be established for an external appointment.
