   Appointment of Interim Monitoring Officer

   Decision as recorded

   RESOLVED: That Peter Brown be appointed as an Interim Monitoring Officer for Conwy County Borough Council.

   Minute

   The Cabinet Member for Democracy and Governance presented a report, which sought approval to appoint an Interim Monitoring Officer. The following points were highlighted: · Rhun ap Gareth was the Council’s Head of Law and Governance and held the statutory role of Monitoring Officer and was appointed Chief Executive of Conwy County Borough Council by the Council on the 27 October 2022. · Rhun ap Gareth could not legally hold both the post of Chief Executive and Monitoring Officer. · Therefore, Council was required to appoint a Monitoring Officer under Section 5 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989. · Discussions were undertaken with currently appointed Deputy Monitoring Officers and Peter Brown (Head of Regulatory and Housing Services) had confirmed that he was prepared to be considered for the role. · The process of appointing a permanent Monitoring Officer and Head of Law and Governance would commence as soon as practically possible. RESOLVED: That Peter Brown be appointed as an Interim Monitoring Officer for Conwy County Borough Council.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
