The committee is to meet on Wednesday next week and again on December 3.
Dunedin Mayor Jules Radich said both meetings would be formal, rather than "check-ins".
Mr Radich said they would be advertised, as required, and closed to the public, which was standard for such meetings.
The committee is the principal mechanism for keeping council chief executive Sandy Graham accountable for her performance, but its own performance has been under some scrutiny.
There has been a push this year to tighten up on procedure and realign the calendar.
A "check-in" in January was criticised as being a poor fit with proper process and committee members Crs Sophie Barker and Jim O’Malley said they were not invited to it.
Cr Barker is deputy chairwoman of the committee.
The Otago Daily Times is unaware of any minutes being taken from the informal meeting.
An agenda for a committee meeting in June referred to setting key performance indicators and it is understood the December meeting is for Ms Graham’s annual review.
Last year, the annual review was in September.
Mr Radich, who leads the chief executive appraisal committee, did not say what the nature of this month’s meeting would be.
The council’s committee structure and delegations manual says meetings of the committee happen every three months.
"As I’ve said before, the frequency of meetings exceeds our statutory obligations under the Local Government Act and our process remains robust," Mr Radich said.
The ODT also asked about progress on an investigation by a King’s Counsel into a staff conduct matter.
Mr Radich did not say if a result was imminent.
The council has not acknowledged the existence of the investigation.
