Hello,
everybody
welcome
to
the
staffing
matters
and
urgency
committee.
The
first
agenda
item
is
declarations
of
interest,
so
I'd
ask
any
members
that
would
like
to
declare
anything
to
to
raise
their
hand
virtually
and
then
I'd
bring
them
into
the
the
meeting,
and
I
can't
see
any
declarations.
I
should
also
say
that
we
don't
have
any
substitutes
today
as
the
the
full
committee
membership
is
here.
A
I
did
check
with
regards
to
the
urgent
item
of
of
business,
as
that
is
an
appointment
to
the
york
and
north
yorkshire
lep
as
a
company
director
and
I'm
currently
the
appointment
to
the
york
and
north
yorkshire
lep,
but
it
isn't
a
a
pecuniary
or
personal
interest
in
that
it
is
a
normal
appointment
like
we
would
make
at
full
council.
So
that
isn't
one
that
I
have
to
declare,
but
the
other
councillors
would
notice
my
name
in
the
papers
when
we
get
to
that
agenda
item.
A
You
have
seen
in
the
agenda
packs
that
we're
asked
to
consider
the
exclusion
of
the
present
public
from
the
meeting
during
consideration
of
annexes
a
and
b
to
agenda
item
six,
which
is
pension
or
exit
discretions
on
the
grounds
that
they
contain
information
relating
to
individuals
and
the
financial
state
of
particular
persons,
and
that
information
is
classified
as
exempt
under
paragraphs
one.
Two
and
three
of
schedule,
12a
to
section
100a
of
the
local
government,
act
1972.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
a
clear
majority
in
favor
of
dropping
into
private
session
for
agenda
item
six,
and
I'd
also
like
to
ask
the
the
committee
position
permission
to
swap
round
the
two
agenda
items:
six
and
seven.
So
that's
so
that
we
can
do
agenda
item
seven,
which
is
that
one
appointment
first
before
then
going
on
to
agenda
item
six
so
that
we
can
drop
into
a
private
session
and
hopefully
do
so
smoothly
virtually
so
hopefully,
everybody
is
is
happy
with
that.
A
We
now
move
on
to
agenda
item
three,
the
minutes
of
the
the
previous
meeting,
which
was
on
the
15th
of
june
and
if
anybody's
got
any
matters
arising
or
amendments
to
the
minutes,
please
indicate
now
and
if
not
I'll,
accept
those
as
a
correct
record
from
the
the
last
meeting.
So
thank
you
all.
A
I
can't
see
anybody
indicating
a
few
nods
and
then
we
move
on
to
agenda
item
four
public
participation
and
we
don't
have
any
registered
public
speakers
at
today's
meeting
and
then
that
brings
us
on
to
agenda
item
five,
which
is
the
work
plan
of
this
committee
and
I'll.
Ask
trudy
to
introduce
this
item
to
us.
B
Okay,
so
this
this
is
the
the
the
work
plan
that
we've
got
to
schedule
so
and
there's
been
no
change
to
it.
We
agreed
at
the
last
meeting
we
would
add
the
cmt
restructure
to
come
back
in
august
and
the
other
items
on
a
standard
agenda
item.
So
then,
if
there's
anything
else
that
the
committee
would
like
to
add.
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
item.
If
not,
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
is
accept
the
work
plan,
that's
in
front
of
us,
so
I
could.
Could
I
see
all
those
in
favor
of
doing
that.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
again,
a
clear,
clear
majority
in
in
accepting
the
work
plan
and
that
then
moves
us
on
to
agenda
item
seven
and,
as
as
I
said,
I'd
move
the
agenda
right
item
round
and
we
have
one
item
of
urgent
business.
So
I'd
ask
janie
to
explain
why
and
the
paper
that's
in
front
of
us.
Please.
C
Thank
you
chair
for
accepting
this
as
an
urgent
item.
Unfortunately,
the
report
wasn't
available
to
be
published
alongside
the
remainder
of
the
agenda
and
the
time
frames
by
which
the
council
is
being
asked
to
make
a
decision
I.e
by
the
31st
of
july.
When
that
we
there
was
no
other
meeting
that
we
could
go
to
save
for
this
one.
So
thank
you
for
that.
C
I've
put
a
detailed
report
before
the
committee
this
afternoon
and
with
this
afternoon,
we're
seeking
the
approval
of
the
appointment
of
councillor
aston
as
leader
of
the
council
as
a
director
of
york
and
north
yorkshire,
local
enterprise
partnership
limited.
This
will
be
a
dormant
company
limited
by
guarantee
registered
by
the
lep.
C
The
reason
why
we're
having
to
make
the
director
or
being
requested
to
make
the
director
appointment
is
as
detailed
in
the
background
that,
following
a
national
review
of
lep
governance
arrangements,
there's
an
issue
arising
in
some
areas
of
ground,
geographic,
overlapping,
and
this
is
now
being
addressed,
and
so
this
this
effectively
dormant
company,
is
being
set
up
as
a
holding
position.
C
Just
to
reassure
members,
counselor
aston
was
already
appointed
at
full
council
last
year
to
represent
the
city
at
the
local
enterprise
partnership,
so
this
is
effectively
a
very
similar
appointment,
but
just
under
a
directorship
instead
of
just
a
council
appointment,
nominee
and
chair,
I
think
I've
put
a
very
detailed
report
forward
to
explain
the
position
around
the
directorship
and
the
dormant
company,
but
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
provide
further
information
outside
of
the
meeting.
Should
any
member
wish.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Just
just
one
question
from
from
me
is
that
I
I
understand,
as
you
say,
this
is
a
holding
position
until
our
area
has
its
permanent
governance
arrangement.
So,
for
example,
if
we
ended
up
as
a
combined
authority
or
as
a
devolved
area
in
the
future,
and
this
company
structure
would
then
be
dissolved
and
it
would
be
the
combined
authority
that
would
be
the
accountable
body.
So
this
is
something
that
areas
that
don't
yet
have
a
combined
authority
need
to
do.
C
C
That's
correct:
this
is
literally
a
holding
position
at
this
moment
in
time,
whilst
various
other
discussions
take
place.
So,
yes,
that's
correct.
A
C
C
As
far
as
I'm
aware,
yes,
you
don't
become
a
director,
because
that
has
got
it's
a
separate
legal
entity,
but
I
think
in
the
spirit
of
everybody
wanting
to
do
partnership
working
the
fact
that
this
is
a
very
legal
technical
sort
of
transfer
holding
position.
Wouldn't
no
one
should
object
to
councillor
de
guan
being
the
substitute
if
you're
unavailable,
so
it
is
just
legally
just
essentially,
the
legal
framework
is
changing
which
we're
required
to
which
everybody
is
required
to
do
so.
C
A
A
Thank
you
very
much,
a
clear
majority
in
favor
of
that
tidying
up
appointment,
so
to
speak.
So
what
we
now
doing
now
that
we've
considered
agenda
items
five
and
seven
is
we'll
move
to
agenda
item
six
pension
or
exit
discretion
and,
as
agreed
earlier,
we'll
exclude
the
the
press
and
public
due
to
the
confidential
details
that
we're
gonna
discuss.
So
thank
you
all
for
joining
and
for
watching
at
home
to
starting
matters
and
urgency.
