Joint report by Senior Solicitor/Monitoring Officer and Senior Corporate and Community Services Officer (attached).

Council considered a joint report by the Senior Solicitor/Monitoring Officer and Senior Corporate and Community Services Officer (circulated previously) regarding the appointment to the Independent Remuneration Panel.

The Senior Solicitor and Monitoring Officer advised that the vacancy had occurred following the resignation of a member of the Panel. A recruitment process had been undertaken and following advertisement 2 applications had been received.  Only 1 applicant had been able to attend an interview. Mr Russell was an exceptionally suitable and qualified person to fill the vacancy on the Panel.

It was moved by Councillor Worden and seconded by Councillor Lofthouse “that the recommendation be adopted”.

RESOLVED that Graham Russell be appointed to the Independent Remuneration Panel for a four year period.
