Decision
That the request for up to
£600k for pay restructuring
costs be declined as there are alternative
opportunities to access funding for the restructure that will not place
pressure directly on the council budgets.
Reason for Decision
Option 1 would incur
additional cost to the council and put pressure on the budget as this cost was
not budgeted for in 2018/19. Option 2 would result in restructure costs being
identified from elsewhere and could potentially impact the Interim Executive
Board (IEB) restructure timetable.
