Appointment of Chief Executive
Decision Maker: Policy & Resources Committee (pre 2015)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Council is obliged by law to appoint a Head of Paid Service. This is separate and distinct from the non-statutory role of Chief Executive. However, in this Authority, the Chief Executive is the designated Head of Paid Service. A change to the designation of Head of Paid Service would be required, requiring Full Council approval, in order to vest this responsibility in an officer other than the Chief Executive.
Decision:
(1) That the Council be recommended to:
(i) Appoint Ms Penny Thompson as Chief Executive and Head of Paid Service;
(ii) Approve the salary for the post to be set at £150K per annum; and
(iii) Approve the appointment to be effective on 12th November 2012 subject to the transitional arrangements referred to in paragraph 3.5 of the report; and
(2) That the Director of Adult Social care (in her capacity as the Director with interim responsibility for Human Resources) and after consultation with the Leader of the Council, be authorised to take all steps necessary or incidental to implementation of the appointment, including any detailed terms or administrative arrangements that may be outstanding.
