Decision:

(1)        
That the principle of sharing staff between
Guildford Borough Council and Waverley Borough Council, on a
temporary basis, where appropriate to support the collaboration
programme be approved.

 

(2)        
That the Joint Chief Executive be authorised to
approve, subject to a business case, future temporary staff sharing
arrangements between Guildford Borough Council and Waverley Borough
Council, to support the collaboration and transformation
programme.
 

(3)        
That the Joint Executive Head of Legal and
Democratic Services be authorised to enter into an agreement
between Guildford Borough Council and Waverley Borough Council for
the sharing of their staff on a temporary basis.
Reasons:

(1)        
To ensure that officers have sufficient agility in
operational decision making to embrace opportunities that may arise
regarding temporary staffing arrangements, that are likely to be
beneficial to both councils in terms of cost, efficiency and
skills, whilst retaining flexibility for any future longer-term
arrangements brought about through the Transformation and
Collaboration Programme.

(2)        
To ensure that there is a robust governance process
around the sharing of staff on an interim basis, including
arrangements for the sharing of costs, terminating any such
agreements and resolving any disputes in a fair and transparent
manner.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:
None.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by
the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation
granted:
None.
