The Appointments and Remuneration Committee of Cheltenham Council discussed the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the implementation of a new pay structure for senior council staff. The committee decided to appoint Jane Smith as the new CEO and approved the proposed pay structure changes.
Appointment of New Chief Executive Officer
The committee discussed the appointment of a new CEO following the retirement of the previous CEO, John Doe. After a thorough selection process, Jane Smith was chosen for the role. Councillors highlighted her extensive experience in local government and her vision for the future of Cheltenham. Councillor Paul Convery stated, Jane Smith's track record in driving community-focused initiatives and her strategic leadership skills make her the ideal candidate for this position.
Implementation of New Pay Structure
The committee also reviewed and approved a new pay structure for senior council staff. The proposed changes aim to make the council's remuneration packages more competitive and to attract high-calibre candidates for senior roles. The new structure includes performance-related pay and additional benefits. Councillor Sarah Brown argued in favour of the changes, saying, This new pay structure will not only help us retain our talented staff but also ensure that we remain competitive in the local government sector.
