Issue - meetings

The Leader of the Council introduced a report proposing the appointment of a statutory officer, namely a Section 151 Officer.  It was noted that the Council’s current Director of Finance and Section 151 Officer, Leigh Clarke, would be leaving Woking Borough Council and new management arrangements would need to be put in place.  It was therefore proposed that the interim Director of Finance should be appointed as the Council’s Section 151 Officer whilst the appointment of a permanent Director of Finance was made.

RESOLVED

That Brendan Arnold, Interim Director of Finance, be appointed as Director of Finance (S151 Officer) with effect from 1^st March 2023.
