Summary
2. The Chief
Executive Officer Review Committee has previously met to develop the Chief
Executive’s performance objectives. A proposed framework was discussed by

councillors feedback at the 16 April 2014 meeting with the aim of formally
agreeing the Chief Executive’s performance objectives.

Recommendations
That the Chief Executive Officer Review Committee:
a) agree that the
Chief Executive Officer Review Committee discusses
and agrees a formal set of performance objectives for the Chief Executive.

Discussion
3. The Chief
Executive Officer Review Committee has previously met to discuss the style and
format of future meetings and to develop draft performance objectives for the
Chief Executive.
4. The Committee
Chair has confirmed with committee members that future meetings provide an
opportunity for all Governing Body members to actively engage with the Chief
Executive on the performance of the organisation at both a strategic and
operational level. A measure of success will be that the meetings will be
viewed as an important interface between councillors and the Chief Executive
and his Executive Leadership Team.
5. Draft performance objectives
were discussed by the committee on 18 March 2014, and at the committee’s
request, the draft performance objectives were distributed to all councillors
for comment.
6. The feedback confirmed that
councillors are prepared for a positive engagement. The Chief Executive and
Committee Chair will provide an outline of the comments received at the
committee meeting. Those comments included feedback that:
· the
LTP process was an opportunity to clarify funding priorities at both the local
and regional level with the final outcome being owned by all elected members
and staff. Clear and consistent communications would be required throughout the
LTP process.
· there
is an opportunity to provide greater clarity and understanding of the
respective roles of the governing body and the local boards, which recognises
the governing body’s regional budget allocation responsibilities and local
board’s own advocacy for local needs. There are examples where these roles have
played out successfully, such as local swimming pools.
· is
general agreement that one group approach is essential, covering local boards,
CCOs and the council. Councillors want to ensure that the council is effective
in telling the story. Measurement against the objective should include the
group’s communication success and feedback about performance from our
communities.
· the
focus over the next 18 months should be to assist Local Boards by providing
better advice and by understanding the respective roles.
7. Committee members will be
provided with an amended set of draft performance objectives at the committee
meeting.
Consideration
Local
Board Views

Executive has committed to regular engagement with the Local Board Chairs in

of the attached objectives, the Chief Executive will discuss the objectives
with Local Board Chairs and will bring any feedback to the next Chief Executive
Review Committee.
