The Appointments & Disciplinary Committee of Croydon Council met on Thursday, 28 March 2024. The primary business of the meeting involved the renewal of a Chief Officer's fixed-term contract, which was discussed in private. The committee also approved the minutes from previous meetings held in November 2023 and January 2024.

Senior Staffing Matters: Renewal of Chief Officer Fixed-Term Contract

The committee considered a report regarding the renewal of a Chief Officer's fixed-term contract. Due to the nature of the information, which related to an individual's terms and conditions of employment, this item was heard in Part B of the meeting, meaning the press and public were excluded. The report sought the committee's approval to extend the current fixed-term contract for the Assistant Chief Executive. The decision on this matter was not detailed in the public minutes.

Minutes of Previous Meetings

The committee approved the Part A minutes from previous meetings held on Monday, 6 November 2023, Thursday, 16 November 2023, and Monday, 29 January 2024. Amendments were made to the minutes of the 6 November meeting to correct the attendance record for Mayor Jason Perry and to omit a word from the second paragraph of minute 12/24.

Exclusion of Press and Public

A motion was passed to exclude the press and public from the remainder of the meeting. This was done under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, on the grounds that the subsequent business involved the likely disclosure of exempt information. The specific paragraphs of Schedule 12A of the Act cited were 1 and 2, which relate to information that is likely to reveal the identity of an individual.

The meeting concluded at 4:35 pm.
