Minutes: The Council considered the report of the Service Head, Human Resources and Workforce Development that requested the Council to confirm the appointment of a Chief Executive for the Authority in accordance with the recommendation of the Appointments Sub-Committee.
The Council also received a tabled supplementary report of the Service Head, Human Resources and Workforce Development. The supplementary report provided additional information that had been received by the authority and which may be considered relevant to the decision of whether to confirm the appointment of the Chief Executive.
Prior to the consideration of the supplementary report, the Council received advice from the Service Head, Legal Services that the question of whether or not this should be considered in public was a matter for the Council to determine, and on the factors that the Council should consider in this regard. Having considered this advice, Members of all political groups agreed that the report should be considered in public session.
[Note: The supplemental report was subsequently published on the Council’s website.]
Following debate, Mayor John Biggs moved, and Councillor Sirajul Islam seconded, the recommendations as printed in the report in the main agenda.
The recommendations were put to the vote and were agreed with no Member voting against. Accordingly it was:-
RESOLVED
1. That the appointment of Mr Will Tuckley as Chief Executive of the Authority and Head of Paid Service on a permanent basis, be confirmed with the job description for the post as attached at Appendix A and on the terms set out at paragraph 4.9 of the report.
2. That the current designation of the Corporate Director of Communities, Localities and Culture as interim Head of Paid Service should continue until the Chief Executive commences in office.
On behalf of the Council, the Deputy Speaker indicated that he would write to the Corporate Director, Communities, Localities and Culture expressing Members’ gratitude for his work during his appointment as interim Head of Paid Service.
