08/09/2026 - Exclusion of the Public

ORDER TO EXCLUDE FOR ITEM 22

THAT COUNCIL:

1.       Having taken into account the relevant consideration contained in section 90(3) (a) and section 90(2) & (7) of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA), this meeting of the Council dated 8 September 2026 resolves that it is necessary and appropriate to act in a meeting closed to the public as the consideration of Item 22 [Confidential Recommendations of the CEO Performance Review Panel - 31 August 2026] listed on the Agenda in a meeting open to the public would on balance be contrary to the public interest.

Recommendation 1 - Grounds and Basis

Consideration in confidence is sought because the confidential 360 Degree Review conducted by Hender Consulting contains information the disclosure of which would involve the unreasonable disclosure of the views of elected members, staff and stakeholders into the personal affairs of Mr Michael Sedgman, Chief Executive Officer, City of Adelaide.

The Council is satisfied that the principle that the meeting be conducted in a place open to the public has been outweighed in the circumstances because the disclosure of this information would involve the unreasonable disclosure of the views of elected members, staff and stakeholders into the personal affairs of Mr Michael Sedgman, Chief Executive Officer, City of Adelaide.

Recommendation 2 - Grounds and Basis

Receipt and discussion of this report and attachments associated with this Item is required in confidence to protect the personal affairs of the Chief Executive Officer.

The Council is satisfied that the principle that the meeting be conducted in a place open to the public has been outweighed in the circumstances because the disclosure of this information would involve unreasonable disclosure of information concerning the personal affairs of any person.

2.       Pursuant to section 90(2) of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA) (the Act), this meeting of the Council dated 8 September 2026 orders that the public (with the exception of members of Corporation staff and any person permitted to remain) be excluded from this meeting to enable this meeting to receive, discuss or consider in confidence Item 22 [Confidential Recommendations of the CEO Performance Review Panel - 31 August 2026] listed in the Agenda, on the grounds that such item of business, contains information and matters of a kind referred to in section 90(3)(a) of the Act.
