Summary

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

The Chief Officers Employment Committee of Cornwall Council is scheduled to convene on Thursday, 29 October 2026. The agenda indicates that the committee will consider various matters related to chief officer recruitment and interim arrangements. Additionally, the committee will review minutes from previous meetings.

Chief Officer Recruitment and Interim Arrangements

A significant portion of the meeting is expected to focus on chief officer recruitment and interim arrangements. The agenda lists several items for discussion, including Chief Officer Recruitment, Interim Chief Officer Arrangements: CFO, Interim Chief Executive Arrangements, and Objective setting for the interim Deputy Chief Executive. These discussions are scheduled to take place in private, with the press and public excluded from the meeting. This exclusion is based on the grounds that the discussions are likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information, such as details relating to individuals or the financial and business affairs of particular persons.
