Council gave consideration to a report outlining that the Derbyshire County Council Independent Remuneration Panel comprised of five members, none of whom were members of the Council or any of its committees, nor an employee of the Council. Panel members were appointed for a period of four years and no member may serve for more than two terms of office of four years.

Members would recall that Council approved the proposal to recruit two members to the Panel on 24 March 2021 to fill two vacancies.

Following a public advertisement, interviews were held on 17 and 20 September 2021. Two of the three candidates interviewed were considered suitable for appointment to the Panel; namely Mr Peter Clay and Peter Clifford.

Satisfactory references had been received for both candidates and it had been proposed that Council approve their appointment to the Independent Remuneration Panel for an initial four-year term.

On the motion of Councillor B Lewis, duly seconded, it was

RESOLVED to approve the appointment of Mr Peter Clay and Mr Peter Clifford to the Independent Remuneration Panel for a four-year period from 2 December 2021.
