Issue - meetings

Councillor Bick proposed and Councillor Porrer seconded the following amendment to the recommendations (additional text underlined):

      i.         To approve the draft Pay Policy Statement 2022/23 attached as Appendix 1 of the Officer’s report.

    ii.         To delegate authority to the Head of Human Resources to update the Pay Policy Statement 2022/23 should a chief executive and/or chief officer and/or NJC pay award be agreed.

   iii.         To ask the committee to reconsider its decisions (iv) and (v) in relation to Chief Executive and Director performance appraisal, allowing further discussion to take place first, in the meantime leaving the existing process in place. 

The Committee also agreed:

  iv.         Unanimously - To note the update on the review of senior officer salaries which was scheduled for late 2021 and has now been moved until 2022 due to the delay in the national pay award settlement for 2021 and the forthcoming review of the senior management structure.

    v.         By 4 votes to 2 - For director performance reviews to be undertaken by the Chief Executive, as outlined in Section 5 of the officer’s report.

  vi.         By 4 votes to 2 - For chief executive performance reviews to be undertaken by the Leader, as outlined in Section 5 of the officer’s report.

On a show of hands the amendment was lost by 9 votes in favour to 21 against.

Resolved (by 30 votes to 3):

      i.         To approve the draft Pay Policy Statement 2022/23 attached as Appendix 1 of the Officer’s report.

    ii.         To delegate authority to the Head of Human Resources to update the Pay Policy Statement 2022/23 should a chief executive and/or chief officer and/or NJC pay award be agreed.
