The
Committee considered the report of the Principal Democratic
Services Officer in regard to nominations to outside
bodies.
Members
were advised that there was an amendment to paragraph 2.4 which
should read – “Action for Rural Communities – 1
vacancy (2 positions)”.
It was
noted that Members received an email recently which advertised all
vacancies for outside bodies within the responsibility of this
Committee. Only one nomination was
received. This was from Councillor
Harper for the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Members made the following
comments:-
·
That outside body organisations where vacancies
still existed should be invited to attend a future meeting to give
a presentation to the Committee on the work of their
organisation.
·
That where a vacancy still existed within a month of
a presentation, the Committee would
make a recommendation to Council that the vacancy is advertised to
the wider community.
RESOLVED:
That
1)
The appointment of Councillor Harper to the position
on the Citizens Advice Bureau be approved.
2)
The Chairman invites organisations where vacancies
exist to give a presentation to a future meeting.
3)
Where a vacancy still existed after one month
following the organisation’s presentation to Committee that a
recommendation be made to Council to advertise the vacancy out to
the wider community.
