Agenda and minutes

To agree the Minutes of the meeting of the Remuneration Committee held on 1 February 2013 (RC3).

Report of the County Solicitor & Monitoring Officer (RC7 to be circulated separately)

The Council’s Constitution allocates to the Committee the responsibility for appointments to outside bodies other than to those identified by the Cabinet as ‘strategic’. 

Following consideration of a number of appointments at your previous meeting on 12 July 2013 you asked for further information before making appointments to a number of bodies.

The attached schedule sets out further information.

The Committee is RECOMMENDED to make appointments to the non-strategic outside bodies listed in the Annex.

It is RECOMMENDED that the public be excluded for the duration of items 6 and 7 since it is likely that if they were present during that item there would be disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) and specified below in relation to those items and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

THE REPORT AND ANNEXES TO THE ITEM HAVE NOT BEEN MADE PUBLIC AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ BY MEMBERS AND OFFICERS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THEM.

THIS ALSO MEANS THAT THE CONTENTS SHOULD NOT BE DISCUSSED WITH OTHERS AND NO COPIES SHOULD BE MADE.

RESOLVED:  that the public be excluded for the duration of items 8 and 9 since it is likely that if they were present during that item there would be disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) and specified below in relation to those items and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

PUBLIC SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS HELD IN PRIVATE

To approve the exempt part of the minutes of the meeting held on 8 August 2013 (RC6E) and to receive information arising from them.

The public should be excluded during this item because its discussion in public would be likely to lead to the disclosure to members of the public present of information in the following prescribed categories:

1.                  Information relating to any 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)

and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that such disclosure would infringe the rights of the individual to privacy contrary to the general law and the duty of the authority to respect human rights and to comply with that law and contrary to the authority’s duties as a fair employer.
