A five-person team of Far North District Council councillors has been set up for chief executive Shaun Clarke's performance management.
The council has set up the executive review committee comprising Deputy Mayor Ann Court as chair along with councillors Rachel Smith, Felicity Foy, John Vujcich and Kelly Stratford. Mayor John Carter said he would also be involved.
Court and Councillor John Vujcich at the council's December meeting moved to set up the committee and appoint elected representatives to it as part of the incoming 2019 Far North District Council governance structure.
At its last meeting the council amended the executive review committee's terms of reference to include authority to also pay for professional services to "ensure expedient resolution of matters before the committee".
The terms of reference for the committee were adopted on December 19. But the aspect of being able to employ professional services as and when required as part of chief executive performance was discussed and adopted this week.
