Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Oxfordshire and are not the council. About us

The Remuneration Sub-Committee (Appraisals) of Oxfordshire Council met on Tuesday 1 September 2026. The meeting's agenda included the election of a Chair and Deputy Chair for the upcoming council year, and the approval of minutes from a previous meeting. A significant portion of the meeting was scheduled to be held in private to consider an exempt report relating to an individual.

Election of Chair and Deputy Chair

The sub-committee was scheduled to elect a Chair and a Deputy Chair for the 2026/27 council year.

Approval of Previous Minutes

The minutes from the meeting held on 31 March 2026 were scheduled for approval.

Consideration of Exempt Report

A key item on the agenda was the consideration of a report that was designated as exempt. This meant that the public would be excluded from this part of the meeting. The report was described as containing information relating to a particular individual and the decision to exclude the public was based on the belief that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. This aligns with the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the public when sensitive information is being discussed.

The agenda and reports pack for this meeting can be found on the Oxfordshire Council website1.
