The Principal Democratic Services Officer presented a report which outlined the arrangements for Outside Bodies relevant to the Committee for the 2019/20 municipal year.

Cutbush and Corrall Charity – Councillor Mrs Joy

Vinters Valley Park Trust – Councillor B Hinder

 

The Committee was also asked to consider a course of action to fill the vacancies and made the following suggestions:-

 

·  That the organisations who are seeking nominations be invited to give a presentation to the Committee on what their work involved.

·  That the vacancies attributable to this Committee be re-advertised.

·  That the Democracy and General Purposes Committee be asked to consider:-

1)  That there should be more automatic appointments of the Chairman or Vice-Chairman to outside bodies from the Service Committees

2)  That it be suggested to organisations where any positions are not filled by Members within a year that the position be opened up to other persons whilst still maintaining contact with their local Councillors.
