Nominations to Outside Bodies - CHE |
|
1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 At its meeting on
28 February 2018 the Council recommended that some of the Council’s Outside
Bodies be appointed by an appropriate Committee.
1.2 The outside bodies vacancies
attributable to the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee have
recently been advertised to Members and the nominations received are set out
below:-
Age Uk – None received
Maidstone Mediation – An application
has been received from Councillor English
Cutbush and Corrall – An application has been received from Mrs Smith (*)
Relate West and Mid Kent – None received
* - The Scheme for Cutbush and Corrall does state that although the Council can
nominate 4 Trustees they need not be a member of the Council. The nomination
received has been received through Cutbush and Corrall from a resident who
expressed an interest in being a Trustee of the Organisation.
2. AVAILABLE OPTIONS
2.1 The Committee could do nothing. This is not recommended as it could damage the relationships that the Council foster with these organisations.
2.2 The Committee could appoint to the various Outside Bodies as appropriate.
3. PREFERRED OPTION AND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Option 2.2 is recommended as there is a need to ensure that these vacancies are filled as soon as possible.
4. NEXT STEPS: COMMUNICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DECISION
4.1 Should
any of the vacancies be filled then the relevant outside bodies would be
contacted and appraised of the Member/person having been appointed.
4.2 In the event that some of the vacancies are not filled then these will be re-advertised at a later stage and brought back to the Committee for consideration should a nomination be received.
