This part of the meeting was scheduled to be held in a private session, with the exclusion of press and public. It was intended for the final panel interviews of candidates who had been agreed upon in a previous meeting on 14 September 2026. The exclusion of the public was based on the likely disclosure of exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972.

The meeting was scheduled to be chaired by Mayor Jason Perry, with Councillor Lynne Hale serving as Vice-Chair. Other attendees included Councillor Jason Cummings, Councillor Stuart King, Councillor Leila Ben-Hassel, Councillor Janet Campbell, and Councillor Laura Bradnam.
