Council amended the Constitution at its meeting on 10 December 2024 to add a delegation to the Remuneration Committee “to constitute an Appraisal Panel and undertake the appraisals for the Chief Executive, at least annually” (Part 5.1C Remuneration Committee, paragraph 3 (7)).  The report before the committee proposed to formally establish a Sub-committee to undertake the appraisal process.

The Monitoring Officer introduced the report.  She highlighted that the committee needed to decide on the membership of the sub-committee, assuming that they were content to form the sub-committee.  She noted that in the past when the committee had formed sub-committees, it was customary for the whole committee to be on the sub-committee.

The Director of HR and Cultural Change added that officers were already preparing for an appraisal to take place in August and September.  Training would be provided in advance of that.

The Chair proposed that all six members of the committee be on the sub-committee.  This was agreed.

RESOLVED:

a)            to establish a subcommittee named the Remuneration Sub-Committee (Appraisals) to carry out the procedures delegated to the Remuneration Committee in the Council Constitution “to constitute an Appraisal Panel and undertake the appraisals for the Chief Executive, at least annually”; and

b)           that all six members of the committee will form the sub-committee.
