Council considered a report of the Chair of the Employment and Personnel Committee presented by Councillor Deborah Watson (Vice-Chair), which sought agreement for budget increases for the establishment a new customer services post and restructure of the Governance team which had been agreed at the Employment and Personnel Committee on 11 September 2024

The proposals agreed at the Employment and Personnel Committee required an increase to the Council’s General Fund budget as follows:

·       Establishment of a full-time Customer Advisor/Complaints Administrator as a Grade 5 post necessitating an increased budget of £26,072.09.

·       Replacement of the 0.6 FTE Governance & Civic Manager and 0.4 FTE Governance & Civic Manager/0.6 FTE Governance & Civic Officer with 1 FTE Governance & Civic Manager as a Grade 10 post.

·       The establishment of 1 FTE Senior Governance & Civic Officer as a Grade 7 post.  These changes necessitated an increased budget of £36,641.

Moved by Councillor Deborah Watson and seconded by Councillor Mary Dooley

RESOLVED that the increase in salary budgets as recommended by the Employment and Personnel Committee on 11 September 2024 be approved.
