Appointment of Monitoring Officer pdf icon PDF 53 KB

Report by Chief Executive (attached).

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report by the Chief Executive (circulated previously) regarding the appointment of a Monitoring Officer.

 

The Chief Executive advised that under section 5 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 a local authority was required to appoint one of its officers as Monitoring Officer.  Following the appointment of the previous Monitoring Officer, Ken Miles, as the Head of Paid Service/Chief Executive there was now a requirement to appoint a new Monitoring Officer in order to comply with the legislative requirements.  Trevor Blatchford was currently the Deputy Monitoring Officer.  It was anticipated that a Deputy Monitoring Officer could be appointed from within the Legal Services team.

 

RECOMMENDED that Trevor Blatchford be appointed as Monitoring Officer with immediate effect.
