The Appointments and Conditions
of Service Committee (ACOS) is established to determine local terms
and conditions of Council employees and procedures for disciplinary
action and dismissal. It undertakes the appointment process for the
Chief Executive, Deputy Chief Executive and Corporate Directors and
is required to approve proposals for significant restructuring of
the Council’s management structure. Staffing management and
individual staffing decisions are the responsibility of Council
officers.
The Committee is made up of 8 councillors
appointed to reflect the political balance of the Council, with one
seat reserved for the relevant Portfolio Holder in matters
regarding the appointment of the Chief Executive or a Corporate
Director.
