The Council received a report on the outcome of the restructuring of the Councils Chief Executive and Commissioners.

It was proposed by Councillor Pritchard and seconded by Councillor Hernandez:

(i)         that the Council maintains the role of full time Chief Executive;

(ii)        that the Council maintains the role of Director of Children’s Services;

(iii)       that the three current Commissioner posts be deleted from the structure;

(iv)       that a Director of Adult Services (DAS), Part time (0.6 FTE) post be created; and

(v)        that a Director of Place and Resources, full time post be created (see Appendix 1 of the submitted report for structure charts).

On being put to the vote, the motion was declared carried (unanimous).

(Note:  prior to consideration of Minute 321, Caroline Taylor and Clare Tanner declared personal interests as post-holders of positions which could potentially be affected if the proposals were approved.)
