Resourcing the Council's Commercial Activity

To consider a report to enable resolution (v) of the meeting of the Commercial Ventures Executive Sub-Committee on 30 January 2020.

Minutes:

Members received the report of the Chief Executive which set out a proposal to enable resolution (v) of the meeting of the Commercial Ventures Executive Sub-Committee on 30 January 2020.

 

Members considered the proposal and it was noted that:

 

·         The Council’s commercial agenda required a new leadership role to give impetus to achieving the Council’s commercial ambitions,

·         A balance of Local Authority and commercial experience was necessary for the role,

·         Delay and uncertainty would be caused by testing the market at this stage; and

·         Whilst a fixed-term appointment was discussed, it was not the preferred way forward, due to the consequential need to back -fill roles.

 

RESOLVED: that the Committee be adjourned to a later date in order to conduct an interview. 

 

Clerk’s note: The Employment Committee will reconvene on 2 March 2020 at 11.30 am.
