The committee completed the performance and development review of Mark Stone, Chief Executive, and an open and positive discussion was undertaken.  The committee noted and supported the performance review form completed by the chief executive and the leaders of South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils, which included the objectives for the next 12 months set by the leaders. The committee supported regular ongoing 121s between the leaders and the chief executive, with a formal interim review in six months to be considered by the committee focussed on the chief executive’s development plan and progress against the objectives set.  The committee also confirmed that they were available to support the leaders and the chief executive over the coming months, to help re-establish a settled appraisal pattern, which had been impacted by Covid-19 as this falls within the remit of the committee.
