| 1 | ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN |
| 2 | TO APPROVE THE RECORD OF THE FOLLOWING MEETING: |
| | | To agree that the Chairman, after consultation with other Members of the Committee, sign the record of this meeting outside the meeting. |
|
| 3 | DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST |
| | | | (a) | Personal interests under the Medway Code of Conduct
|
| | (b) | Prejudicial interests under the Medway Code of Conduct
A Councillor who declares a prejudicial interest must withdraw from the room unless a dispensation has been obtained from the Council's Standard's Committee or the exemption under paragraph 12(2) of the Medway Code of Conduct applies.
If an interest is not declared at the outset of the meeting, it should be disclosed as soon as the interest becomes apparent.
|
| | (c) | Whipping - the Council's constitution also requires any Member of the Committee who is subject to a party whip (i.e. agreeing to vote in line with the majority view of a private party group meeting) to declare the existence of the whip and the nature of it before the item is discussed. |
|
| 4 | EXCLUSION OF THE PRESS AND PUBLIC |
| | | Exempt and confidential items are not available to the press and public but a brief summary of the contents may be found under each heading.
|
| Any press or public that are present at the meeting may be asked to leave at this point, as the items to be discussed have sensitive information in them and the Local Government Act 1972 allows for this to happen because the information relates to particular and former employees. |
|
| 5 | TO CONSIDER REPORTS AS FOLLOWS: |
| | (A) | Appointment of Assistant Director Social Care |
| | | This contains exempt information as described at paragraph 1 of schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. |
