Ms Meadows joined the council in March 2021, relocating from Somerset, and has led the local authority through some of the most challenging times with the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the worst storms the area has experienced, and acted as returning officer in two elections.
Council leader Euan Jardine said: “On behalf of elected members I would like to congratulate Netta on all that she has accomplished through these difficult times, she has and continues to be a true leader.
“We wish Netta all the best in her future venture, and until her departure in September, I am very much looking forward to continuing to work closely with her and her senior leadership team.”
