Proposals for Organisational Change Resulting in Proposed Redundancies
Report TO FOLLOW
The information contained in the report is exempt in that it falls within the following prescribed categories:
1. Information relating to a particular individual.
2. Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual.
3. Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).
It is considered that in this case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that such disclosure would distort the proper process of free negotiations between the authority with another party for the purposes described and would prejudice the position of the authority in those negotiations and other negotiations of a similar nature in future.
The Council will be asked to consider detailed recommendations from the Remuneration Committee as set out in the Annexes to the Report.
Decision:
RESOLVED toapprove the payments set out in this report, subject to granting reasonable discretion as identified and approved by the Leader of the Council and Interim Chief Executive to make any changes as required.
