Issue - meetings

Report by Corporate Directors Dr Carlton Brand, Carolyn Godfrey and Maggie Rae

The Leader presented an executive summary which explained proposals to align the senior management structure of the Council to reflect the emerging Business Plan for 2013-17 as considered earlier in the meeting (minute no.59 refers).

The proposed structure if approved would be implemented following adoption of the Business Plan by the Council. Details of the structure would be considered under Part II of the meeting as it referred to individuals or post holders.

Resolved:

That Cabinet considers the proposed review of the senior management structure in line with the draft business plan 2013-17.

Reason for decision

The new draft business plan reflects the challenges and changes that the council faces in the next four years. It has evolved from being service specific and focusing on protecting the most vulnerable in our communities, investing in services and making savings; to a themed based focus that will continue to protect the most vulnerable, boost the local economy, do things differently through being more innovative and deliver further savings. The proposed senior restructure will align posts to reflect the business plan 2013 - 2017.
