The Cabinet considered a report on proposed arrangements for the Performance Development and Review (PDR)/ appraisal process for the Joint Chief Executive.

RECOMMENDED:

(a)       that with effect from 2010, the Joint Chief Executive’s PDR/appraisal be set and reviewed by a single panel comprising the Leaders of Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council, facilitated by an external advisor and that targets specific to each individual Council be set by panels at each Council with joint targets being set by the Shared Services Board;

(b)       that it be noted that the composition of both informal soundings groups is to be determined by each individual Council and that the informal soundings group for Bromsgrove comprise the Leader, Deputy Leader and an Opposition Leader;

(c)        that the informal soundings groups and the formal appraisal panel be supported by a jointly agreed external facilitator and that the associated costs be split jointly between the two Councils; 

(d)       that it be noted that the report is also to be submitted to Redditch Borough Council for consideration and until the report has been approved by both Councils its provisions will not come into effect.
