The Democracy & Organisation Committee, as the
Employing Authority, has delegated to this Sub-Committee the determination of
benefits for individual applications for early retirement.
Report PB5E
sets out 24 applications for early
retirement in total.
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.
The
Sub-Committee is RECOMMENDED to note the cases for early retirement and to
determine the individual benefits to be paid.
Minutes:
The Sub–Committee resolved that the public be excluded
for the duration of item 5 in the Agenda since it was likely that if they were
present during this item there would be disclosure of exempt information as
defined in Part 1 of Schedule 12 A to the Local Government ACT 1972 (as
amended) and specified in relation to the item in the Agenda and since it was
considered that, in all the circumstances of each case, the public interest in
maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the
information.
The Democracy &
Organisation Committee, as the Employing Authority, had delegated to this
Sub-Committee the determination of benefits for individual applications for
early retirement.
The Sub-Committee considered
a report (PB5) which set out 24 such applications.
Having considered the 24
applications, the Sub-Committee:
RESOLVED: to adopt the recommendations shown
in PB5.
