A
Hello,
everybody
and
welcome
to
the
meeting
of
the
staffing
matters
and
urgency
committee
and
if
I
could
welcome
members
of
the
committee
and
officers
and
everybody
is
here,
that
should
be
so
we
don't
have
any
apologies
or
substitutes
to
to
report
on
and
and
equally
to
say
hello
to
those
watching
the
the
meeting
either
live
or
or
at
a
later
opportunity
and
first
item
is
declarations
of
interest.
Does
anybody
want
to
declare
a
declaration
of
interest?
I
can't
see
any
so.
A
And
could
I
ask
for
agreement
that
when
we
get
to
agenda
item
nine
and
that
will
therefore
exclude
the
the
press
and
public
if
I
could
see
those
in
favor
of
that
please?
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
a
clear,
clear
majority
in
favor
of
of
that
and
item
three
is
the
minutes
of
the
previous
meeting,
and
this
meeting
was
held
on
24th
of
august
and
those
minutes
have
now
followed
and
been
published
on
the
the
city
of
york
council
system
and
any
matters
arising
from
those
minutes.
A
If
not,
if
I
could
see
those
in
favor
of
accepting
those,
please.
Thank
you
very
much
again.
A
clear
majority
in
favor
of
that
and
item
four
is
public
participation
and
we
don't
have
any
registered
public
participants
today,
which
means
we
can
then
move
straight
on
to
gender
item
five,
which
is
the
update
on
recruitment
of
an
assistant
director,
housing
and
community
safety,
and
I'm
going
to
hand
over
to
ian
first.
B
The
recruitment
process
was
followed
a
few
months
ago
and
an
appointment
was
made,
but
unfortunately
the
individual
chose
to
withdraw
just
prior
to
commencement
of
the
post.
So
obviously
the
post
takes
you
through
some
options
that
are
being
considered
in
terms
of
what
we
might
do
in
terms
of
posts
going
forward.
B
B
C
A
A
A
C
A
Could
could
carry
on
and
thank
you
very
much
so
that
takes
us
on
to
agenda
item
six,
which
is
the
proposed
interim
structure
that
is
listed
on
pages
17
to
28
and
I'm
gonna
first
hand
over
to
ian,
and
then
I'm
sure
trudy
will
want
to
add
something
and-
and
we're
also
joined
by
amanda.
In
case
of
any
questions,
particularly
relating
to
the
proposals
covering
social
care
and.
B
Ian
okay,
thank
you.
The
corporate
director
for
health
housing,
adult
social
care,
has
resigned
from
the
council
and
her
last
day
of
employment
is
the
18th
of
october.
So
obviously,
we've
had
to
consider
options
in
terms
of
what
we
would
do
clearly
again
because
of
the
ongoing
processes
in
terms
of
the
council
structure
and
activity.
It
will
take
place
over
the
next
two
or
three
months.
B
B
B
The
we
are
proposing
that
the
assistant
director
roles
you
just
talked
about
would
then
move
over
into
the
economy
in
place
directorate
and
in
respect
of
adult
social
care
that
that
would
then
be
overseen
by
amanda,
and
that
would
effectively
form
an
interim
director
of
people,
services,
current
adult
services
and
children.
So
that
is
the
proposed
structure
effectively
to
support
that.
B
E
B
Clearly
I
think
we're
stressed-
and
this
is
just
an
interim
proposal
clearly
as
we
move
forward
and
develop
a
permanent
structure
that
needs
to
take
into
account
a
lot
of
issues
and
clearly
the
final
permanent
structure
may
look
somewhat
different
to
this.
This
very
much
is
about
interim
arrangements
to
get
us
over
the
next
three
or
four
months
with
you
to
then
a
further
report,
as
we've
said
coming
forward
in
next
two
or
three
months
and
clearly
am
seven
updates
a
bit
in
terms
of
that
time
scale.
So
I'll
stop
at
that
point.
B
C
And
I
don't
think
I've
got
much
more
to
add.
To
be
honest,
there
is
the
the
actual
diagrams
are
on
page
27
28,
which
show
you
the
the
structure
charts
for
ease
of
reference,
on
what
the
two
differences
are
and
and
how
it,
how
ian
set
it
out
already
and
again
it
is.
It
is
an
interim
structure
and
ian's
done
consultation
with
members
of
clg,
which
is
that
that
chief
officer
cohort
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
explaining
the
it's
an
interim
structure
and
that
they'll
be.
C
We
will
open
up
the
consultation
with
those
staff
as
well
for
the
permanent
structure
and
obviously
we're
going
to
the
paper
next.
But
it's
it's
tying
in
with
everything,
with
all
of
the
changes
all
together,
and
obviously
this
gives
us
the
opportunity,
especially
with
the
budgetary
pressures
to
hold
it,
cover
it
interimly.
C
D
F
A
B
Yeah
we've
had
those,
I
think
I
think
one
of
the
issues
is
people
have
got
clearly
ideas
in
terms
of
long-term
structure.
I
think
you
know
some
of
the
issues.
One
of
the
things
we've
said
is
we
needed
to
do
this
fairly
quickly
and
fairly?
Simply,
you
know,
we
didn't
have
the
time
to
start
looking
at
how
certain
services
might
join
up
the
you
know
where
you
might
have
certain
heads
of
service,
or
you
know
how
you
could
make
changes.
B
B
I
think
people
can
generally
understand
it.
I
think
there
had
been
raised.
You
know
one
or
two
concerns
about
deeds.
Did
that
still
give
the
strength
in
terms
of
adult
services,
and
you
know
I
think
I've
been
clear
in
terms
of
certainly
as
we
go
forward.
That
is
absolutely
key,
and
you
know
what
what
amanda's
just
talked
about
hopefully
gives
that
assurance,
because
clearly,
in
the
longer
term,
we
do
need
strong,
effective
management
structures
covering
the
people
services.
B
They
are
absolutely
key
in
terms
of
what
the
council
delivers
and
clearly
we
will
have
to
look
at.
You
know
that
that
structure
in
the
longer
term.
This
is
an
interim
structure,
but
over
the
next
couple
of
months
and
linked
to
what
amanda
has
just
said,
we
will
look
at
developing
further
proposals
and
how
the
pump
structure
goes
in,
but
in
the
main
I
think
I
feel
generally
supportive
of
it,
but
with
lots
of
ideas,
I
think,
in
terms
of
permanent
structure.
E
I
mean
actually
that
that
was
going
to
be
my
name,
and
I
know
till
on
paragraph
41.
You
say
that
the
trade
unions
have
been
trade
unions
have
been
advised
of
a
proposal
and
initial
consultation
document
shared,
I
kind
of
assume
as
you've,
from
what
you've
said.
That
they've
had
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
on
this
arrangement
and,
as
you
said,
there
is
a
longer
term
view,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
this
will
still
function
efficiently
in
the
interim.
E
B
B
Certainly
the
consultation,
you
know,
for
example,
ccg
has
taken
place
and
they
see
some
significant
opportunities
going
forward,
so
absolutely
confident
that
the
interim
structure
will
provide
that
assurance
and,
as
I
say,
opportunities
to
improve,
but
clearly
the
permanent
one
will
just
need
to
consider
things
going
forward.
The
unions
are
supportive
of
it
truly
might
be,
give
a
bit
more
detail,
so
she's
had
most
of
the
discussion
with
them,
but
certainly
my
understanding
is.
They
are
supportive
of
this
and
we
will
clearly
engage
with
them
going
forward
in
terms
of
the
permanent
solution.
C
Yeah,
so
just
quickly
on
the
trade
unions,
the
support,
so
we
I've
shared
I've,
been
open
with
them
from
the
beginning,
really
in
terms
of
what
we
were
looking
to
propose
and
they're
fully
supportive
of
it.
But
obviously,
as
ian
said,
that
kind
of
input
into
that
longer
term
structure
is
important
to
see
it
as
the
seat
very
much
as
an
interim
and
and
a
sensible
cut
and
paste
in
a
sense
of
kind
of
what
he
understood
there.
A
G
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
that,
and
I
think
we
now
say
goodbye
to
ian
and
and
amanda
who
will
be
leaving
us
after
that
item.
So
thank
you
both
very
much,
and
so
that
then
takes
us
on
to
agenda
item
seven,
which
is
the
overview
timeline
on
structural
changes
and
I'll
hand
over
to
truly.
C
I
don't
know
how
much
detail
you
want
to
go
through,
so
there
is
multiple
activities
that
are
currently
happening
across
the
chief
office
of
cohort
now,
so
we've
got
the
chief
operating
officer
implementation
that
was
agreed.
Excuse
me
at
the
24th
of
august,
the
assistant
director
of
finance,
which
was
part
of
that
paper.
C
It's
hoped
that
that
will
all
happen
so
everything's
in
place
by
the
19th
of
october,
when,
when
the
carpet
directors
left
and
the
ad
for
housing
to
hopefully
be
appointed
by
the
end
of
september
now
I
think
that,
because
of
the
dates
for
panel,
I
think
that's
actually
moving
to
about
the
second
of
october
and
then
the
consultations.
What
we're!
What
we're
doing
is
starting
the
consultation
for
the
permanent
structure
for
chief
officers
late
september.
C
So
what
we've
indicated
is
starting
that
consultation
within
the
next
couple
of
days
really
out
to
chief
officers
to
look
at
what
ideas
they've
got
and
to
come
back
to
staffing
matters
in
december
with
the
proposal
now.
What
happens
then
is
obviously
that'll
be
for
discussion
with
yourselves
and
depending
on,
which
is
your
preferred
option.
We
then
have
to
come
out
and
do
the
formal
consultation
and
again,
depending
on
who's,
how
many
jobs
are
affected
and
what
impact
it
is
on.
C
Those
jobs
will
depend
on
some
of
the
timelines,
but
it's
anticipate
that
that
can
be
fully
completed
by
the
31st
of
march,
obviously,
depending
on,
if
there's
there's
less
impact
upon
staff
than
some
of
the
consultation
might
be
quicker,
and
I
can
go
in
a
bit
more
detail
if
you
want
it
are
the
the
individual
timelines?
Are
there
on
page
31,
for
you.
A
I
can't
see
any.
I
think
it's
a
really
useful
summary
document
and,
and
I'm
sure
one
that
and
not
that
we'll
we'll
keep
you
to
every
last
date
in
it,
but
I'm
sure
that
we'll
look
back
on
in
in
future
meetings,
because
certainly
from
my
perspective
and
particularly
in
terms
of
that
march
21
deadline
and
it
is
important
to
have
a
permanent
structure
in
in
place
as
soon
as
possible
and
and
moving
forward.
A
So
it's
useful
to
see
how
the
the
different
pieces
can
slot
into
place
to
get
us
to
that
point
with,
as
you
say,
quite
a
lot
of
consultation
and
with
staff
unions,
groups
and
and
others
along
along
the
way,
and
so
we've
got
a
recommendation
at
paragraph
five.
And
can
I
see
those
in
favor
of
of
accepting
that?
A
A
Great
yes,
yes,
please
so
in
fact,
yeah
that
could
come
round
and
be
an
agenda
item
for
the
next
time.
I
assume,
therefore,
there
isn't
anything
for
us
to
note
other
than
we'll
receive
that
information
at
the
next
meeting,
so
that
takes
us
on
to
agenda
item
nine
exit
discretion
and
we
agreed
at
the
the
start
of
the
meeting
when
we
got
to
this
item
and
that
would
exclude
the
the
press
and
public.
