Matters Arising 4.1 Position of the Chief Executive David Jackson confirmed that he had officially taken up his new post as Chief Executive of Causeway Coast and Glens District Council on 23 April 2014. 4.2 Update on Project Team DJ D Jackson provided Members with an update on the status of the recruitment process for appointing a project team. The Staff Commission had been involved in the process. The posts would be filled as a secondment opportunity for ‘at risk’ staff within the Cluster Councils. A draft job description had been shared and agreed with the Staff Commission for the roles of HR and Finance Lead and it was hoped that shortlisting for the posts would take place on 13 May with subsequent interviews on 20 May 2014. The hope was to appoint both roles concurrently. 5. Capital Project Approval M Quinn provided details of those existing Capital Expenditure Projects DJ (previously supplied) greater than £250K which required approval of the STC.

It was further advised that some of these projects had already commenced. Following discussion on the topic, D Jackson suggested the following: Any project in receipt of 100% funding should proceed; Those commenced projects should proceed as it would be financially detrimental to suspend them; Projects which had yet to commence should seek approval from the Shadow Council; Any prospective projects over the next 6 month should be shelved to allow a clear indication of the financial situation going into the Shadow period. Agreed: On the proposal of Alderman Hillis and Seconded by Councillor Duddy that with the exception of the 100% funded Benone Beach project, a decision on the Capital Projects be deferred to the Shadow Council. Following a member’s question, it was advised that D Jackson would investigate further those Capital Projects which had commenced without STC approval. The TM advised that as far a known, the regulations did not stipulate any legal issues surrounding deferral of such a decision to the Shadow Council but would confirm this with the Department of the Environment (DOE). 6.

Agreed: That members approve the enhanced consultation response, incorporating the above comments, as supplementary detail to the NILGA response. 7. In Committee Members agreed to address this item ‘In Committee’ at the end of the Meeting. 8.
