To consider a report from the Monitoring Officer, which asks the Full Authority to approve the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer along with minor amendments to the Constitution.

The Full Authority considered a report from the Monitoring Officer (item 8 in the minute book) that captured some minor amendments to the Constitution as well as the proposed appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer.

Members felt that having deputies would be beneficial for sub-committees to ensure attendance and it was agreed that this would be discussed at a future APAG meeting.

Rob Carr was thanked for his work as the current Chief Financial Officer and Catherine was welcomed and congratulated in her new role.

RESOLVED

a) The Authority appointed Catherine Edgcombe as its Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1 March 2022.

b)  The Authority delegated authority to the Chief Financial Officer to appoint a Deputy Chief Financial Officer from within the Shared Services Finance Team.

c)  The Authority delegated authority to the Chief Fire Officer to agree from time to time, in consultation with the Chairman, for individual members to act as Member Champions in respect of specific matters.

d)  The Authority approved the minor changes to the Constitution set out at Appendix 1.
