Agenda and minutes

To appoint a Chairman for the purposes of this meeting.

RESOLVED: That Cllr Joyce Nickolay be appointed as Chairman of the Panel for the purposes of this meeting.

To receive declarations of personal or prejudicial interests, arising from business to be transacted at this meeting, from all Members of the Panel.

RESOLVED:  To note that there were no declarations of interests made.

[Note:  Personnel Appeals Panel minutes are:-

(1)               approved following each meeting by the Members serving on that particular occasion and signed as a correct record by the Chairman for that meeting;

(2)               not submitted to the next panel meeting for approval.

Reasons: The Personnel Appeals Panel is constituted from a pooled membership.  Consequently, a subsequent Panel meeting is likely to comprise a different Chairman and Members who took no part in the previous meeting’s proceedings.  The process referred to at (1) above provides appropriate approval scrutiny].

(See Note at conclusion of these minutes).
