Chief Officers Employment Committee - 25 September 2026

The meeting began with no declarations of interest from any members. The first substantive item was a motion moved by Councillor O’Connor and seconded by Councillor Alvey to exclude the press and public from the meeting. This motion was carried, citing Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, on the grounds that the following item would involve the disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act. Those paragraphs cover information relating to an individual, information likely to reveal an individual’s identity, information relating to the financial or business affairs of any person, and information subject to legal professional privilege.

Following the private discussion of the exempt item, a motion was moved by Councillor Alvey and seconded by Councillor Frank to readmit the press and public to the meeting. This motion was also carried. The debate and resolution for the exempt item itself are recorded only in the confidential minutes of the meeting, and no further details were disclosed during the open session.
