34 Appointment to the Independent Remuneration Panel
In accordance with the Local Government Act 2000 and the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003, the Council is required to appoint an Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP) to report and make recommendations on Members Allowances.
The IRP must comprise at least three members and Council agreed in December 2018 that the membership for the 2019/20 period should be:
IRP Member |
First Appointed |
Term of Office |
Mrs Tracey Jessup |
July 2013 |
Until 2020 |
Mr Paul Whitehouse |
May 2015 |
Until 2020 |
Mr Colin Woods |
November 2017 |
Until 2020 |
In addition, Council agreed that a fourth IRP Member should be recruited, for the 2019/20 review, for a period of three years to help build resilience and transfer of knowledge for future IRP Members once Mrs Jessup, Mr Whitehouse and Mr Woods have retired.
Following completion of the recruitment exercise, which will conclude after publication of the Council agenda, a recommendation will be put forward for consideration by Council on 25 July 2019. This will be published via an addendum to the agenda.
