Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report from the Democratic Services Manager asking them to consider the report and recommendations from the Independent Remuneration Panel regarding the Mayor and Deputy Mayor’s Allowances with effect from 2019/20.

The Independent Remuneration Panel Member said there was a lack of clarity on spend by all incumbents interviewed which led to one of the recommendations.

Councillor McPherson said the Deputy Mayor stood in for the Mayor on a number of occasions. The Officer’s Report (P142) stated it was extremely rare for the Deputy Mayor to deputise for the Mayor.

Unanimously resolved to agree with the IRPs recommendations.
