Issue - meetings

The Committee had before it a report by the acting Director of Corporate Governance which sought approval to establish a new post of Infrastructure and Assets Manager for Education, Culture and Sport to meet the Directorate’s obligation to deliver a school estate which met the needs of learners throughout the city.

The report recommended –

that the Committee approve the establishment of an event related fixed term post of Infrastructure and Assets Manager for Education, Culture and Sport on Chief officer terms and conditions of employment.

The Committee heard from the Head of Educational Development, Policy and Performance who advised the Committee that the title of the proposed new post contained within the report was inaccurate and therefore clarified that the post title was “Infrastructure and Assets Manager for Education, Culture and Sport, and that the post would be fixed term for up to approximately 25 years”.

The Convener moved, seconded by the Vice Convener:-

that the Committee approve the recommendation.

Councillor Noble then moved as an amendment, seconded by Councillor McCaig:-

that the Committee take no action.

On a division, there voted:- For the motion (8) -  the Convener; the Vice Convener; and Councillors Allan, Donnelly, Len Ironside CBE, Lawrence, Milne and Jean Morrison MBE.  For the amendment (6) - Councillors Cameron, Delaney, Dickson, McCaig, Noble and Samarai.

The Committee resolved:-

to adopt the motion.
