The Council was seeking a six-month interim Project Officer to support the special projects being delivered by the Project Manager in the Capital Works team. Concern was expressed over the salary scale and cost entailed with the appointment. It was stated that the role be considered amongst existing staff in addition to external applications.
RESOLVED that the creation of a six-month Interim Project Officer post in Asset Management and Development at a cost of £58,500 be approved, to be funded from the Housing Revenue Account as detailed in the report.
Reason
As works are now commencing on the Quarry works, Bramcote Leisure Centre and the replacement of the cremators at Bramcote Crematorium, there is growing pressure on the team and an Interim Project Officer is required to enable the completion of HRA related existing projects within time and cost.
