Minutes:
The Economic Development Manager and Service Director - Economic Growth submitted a report seeking approval to put in place the necessary management and staffing arrangements to enable the successful operation of the new Northern Gateway Enterprise Centre alongside the council’s two existing Innovation Centres at Tapton and Dunston.
The report sought to put in place a new management and staffing structure which would emulate the successful model currently in place at Tapton and Dunston Innovation Centres. The current and proposed management and staffing structures were attached to the officer’s report at Appendix 1 and the job descriptions for the proposed roles were attached at Appendix 2.
The report identified the financial implications of moving to the new structure, set out a number of alternative options and referenced consideration of other implications.
