Decision details

To appoint representatives to Partnerships, Outside Bodies and Member Champions where these are executive functions, for the municipal year 2023-2024

Resolved

(1)          That appointments to partnerships, outside bodies, the Shareholder Committee, Member Champions and advisory groups for the 2023/2024 municipal year be made as set out in the Annex to the decision.

(2)          That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director Law and Governance, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to appoint Members to any outstanding vacancies and make changes to appointments, including new appointments, as may be required during  the 2023/2024 Municipal Year.

It is proposed that representatives are appointed to Partnerships, Outside Bodies and as Member Champions as set out at the Annex to the decision to ensure that the Council is represented and maintains links with partnerships and outside bodies.

Delegation to the Assistant Director Law and Governance, in consultation with the Leader provides flexibility for the remainder of the Municipal Year to appoint to any outstanding vacancies, or if amendments are required to any appointments, and ensures they are made in a timely manner.

Option 1: Not to appoint representatives to outside bodies, partnerships, as Member Champions and advisory groups. This is not recommended as the internal working groups would be ineffective and the Council would not be represented on these outside bodies and could miss valuable information and opportunities.
