Agenda item

The Cabinet is requested to consider the agenda report and appendix A with its nine appendices (of which only appendix A and appendices 1 and 5 thereto are circulated with the agenda and the remainder and the background paper may be viewed online only) and to make the following recommendation to the Council:

That the Senior Staff Pay Policy Statement 2018-2019 be published.

RECOMMENDED TO THE COUNCIL

That the Senior Staff Pay Policy Statement 2018-2019 be published.

The Cabinet received and considered the agenda report and appendix A with its nine appendices (appendix A and appendices 1 and 5 thereto were circulated with the report and the remainder were published in the second agenda supplement for online viewing only). 

This item was introduced by Mr Wilding.

Mr Ward was available to answer questions on this matter.

Mr Wilding explained that each year CDC was required to publish a pay policy statement (PPS) with the approval of the Council. As required by the Localism Act 2011 the purpose of the statement was to ensure that as a public body CDC was fully transparent in terms of its pay policies and pay levels for senior staff. On 22 November 2016 the Council approved a new senior management structure, which would commence on 1 April 2018.  One of two executive director posts and two of the previous seven heads of service posts had been deleted. The remaining five heads of service would continue to be part of the management team with revised posts and designated as directors. Those changes would achieve annual savings of £129,100. 

Mr Ward did not wish to add to Mr Wilding’s introduction.

There were no questions asked by members.

Decision

The Cabinet voted unanimously on a show of hands to make the recommendation to the Council set out below.
