Issue - meetings

At its meeting in July 2008 Council established a Joint Staff Committee with South Oxfordshire District Council to manage the appointments process for the employment of officers to the senior management team and make recommendations on appointments to Council. The Committee comprises three members from each Council.

In light of the forthcoming retirement of David Buckle, Chief Executive, Council is invited to agree revised terms of reference for the Committee to progress the recruitment of a chief executive and appoint councillors to sit on the Committee (to be the Leader of the council, one Conservative member and one Liberal Democrat member in accordance with the political balance of the council).

Revised terms of reference for the Committee are attached.

Council considered revised terms of reference for the Joint Staff Committee to progress the recruitment of a chief executive and an invitation to appoint councillors to sit on the Committee (the Leader of the council, one Conservative member and one Liberal Democrat member in accordance with the political balance of the council).

RESOLVED: to

1.         approve the terms of reference of the Joint Staff Committee as set out on page 25 of the Council agenda for the meeting on 17 February 2016; and

2.         appoint Matthew Barber, Leader of the council, Roger Cox as the Conservative member and Debby Hallett as the Liberal Democrat member to the Joint Staff Committee.
