Decision details

(Paragraph 1 – information relating to an individual)

(Paragraph 2 – information identifying an individual)

The Executive considered an exempt report (Agenda Item 14) concerning the staffing implications which were likely to result from the setting of the Council's 2014/15 revenue budget and to seek approval to make the redundancy payments associated with the required staffing implications.

RESOLVED that the recommendation in the exempt report be agreed.

Reason for the decision: The Council needs to make savings from its revenue budget in 2014/15. These savings include the need to reduce staffing levels. Given the time required to manage staffing reductions this paper is having to be brought to the Executive ahead of the formal budget paper which will come through the Executive on its way to Council during February and March next year.  This report only covers revenue savings for 2014/15 that require staff reductions to be made.

Other options considered: None. It is Council practice to manage staff reductions in the manner outlined in this paper.
