Okay,

that
brings
us
to
the
main
item
of
the
meeting,
which
is
the
approval
of
the
the
pay,
the
pay
policy.
So
just
I'm
gonna
set.
A
All
right
here
we
go
so
I've
got.
We've
got
emma
wyatt,
gemma,
tuskas
and
jessica
dolphin
on
the
call
who
I'm
sure
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
queries
that
members
might
have
on
me
on
the
on
the
policy
statement.
B
B
So
just
first
things.
First
of
all,
it
was
a
question
and
I'm
wondering
if
there
is
a
typo
looking
at
the
median
figures,
paragraph
3.2
looking
at
appendices
a
and
b
for
the
median
pay
multiplier
figure,
because
I
think
it
should
contain
the
759
one
figure
rather
than
the
7
87
figure,
and
I'm
wondering
if
that's
a
typo
in
the
report
or
whether
I'm
just
misunderstanding,
something
I'm
quite
prepared
to
accept
some
misunderstanding
something.
But
I
think
it
might
be
typing.
A
Thanks
dan,
who
would
like
to
pick
that
up?
Please.
C
Hi
councillor,
blake
apologies.
I
was
on
mute
there.
Yes,
that
that
that
is
a
type
it
should
read.
This
read
759,
and
so
I
will
make
sure
that's
corrected.
Okay,.
A
Well,
well,
well
done.
B
And
I
had
one
other
just
observation
and
I
suspect
it's
something
that
colleagues
will
share,
that
it
is
disappointing.
I'm
sure
there's
good
reason
or
I
can
understand
some
of
the
reasons,
but
it's
disappointing
that
the
gender
pay
gap
is
moving
in
the
wrong
direction.
You
know
we
do
so
much
as
a
council
to
me.
It's
just
massively
disappointing
that
something's
moving
in
what
is
the
wrong
direction,
and
so
I
just
I
would
want
that.
Noting.
A
C
Yeah,
I
can
come
in
there,
councillor,
blake
and
so
we've
we've
had
a
look
into
this
and
the
reason
for
the
increase
in
the
median.
So
we've
had
an
increase
of
women
in
the
lower
middle
and
top
quartiles
of
our
workforce,
and
but
the
representation
of
males
in
the
bottom
and
upper
has
also
increased.
C
B
C
Yes
councillor,
so
the
mean
figure
has
is
six
percent,
so
that's
only
changed
by
0.1,
so
that
probably
is
a
more
accurate
representation
in
terms
of
the
broad
spectrum.
Okay,.
B
It's
on
page
18,
I'd
report
the
mean
and
the
median
yeah,
it's
still
just
a
concert.
While
I
understand
the
explanation,
it's
still
for
me.
The
fact
that
there's
a
gap
at
all
is
not
good.
The
fact
it's
moving
in
the
wrong
direction,
or,
albeit
for
understandable
reasons,
still
says
that
to
me
we're
not
we're
not
attacking
the
gender
pay
gap.
In
the
way
I'd
like
to
see
us.
A
But
what
I
was
thinking
was
it
it
might
be
helpful
just
to
draw
out
the
detail.
A
Okay,
I'm
not
seeing
anyone
wanting
to
come
in.
Can
I
ask
if
you
all
approve
the
policy.
A
Okay,
everyone
else
is
happy
to
approve
and
that's,
I
think,
that's
the
end
of
the
business
for
today.
A
Okay
thanks
everyone,
it's
good
to
see
you
all
for.
