Following a change to the Council’s Constitution in January 2017, Councillors were now appointed to a number of outside organisations by Ordinary Council.  Many of the outside organisations supported and advanced the broad objectives of the Authority.  Representations came about either through the Authority initiating the appointment, or an organisation requesting a representative being nominated or a Charity Commission rule that a Council representative was appointed.  

Cllr Mrs McKinlay MOVED and Cllr Kerslake SECONDED the recommendation in the report that the nominated representatives set out in Appendix A be approved. 

One change of nomination was proposed (Cllr Mrs Davies to replace Cllr Chilvers for Tenants Talkback), Cllr Cloke informed the Council that at the recent Montbazon AGM the required representation from the Council has been reduced to 4.

A vote was taken on a show of hands and it was:

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY that, subject to the change above,

The list of outside bodies and nominated representatives/point of contact for 2017/18 attached as Appendix A be approved.

(For clarity the approved list is attached to these minutes).

The Chair of the Conservators of Shenfield Common had requested that the Council ratify the appointment of a new Conservator following a resignation.

Cllr Russell MOVED and Cllr Wiles SECONDED that Mrs Debbie Foster should replace Ms Scholfield as a Conservator of Shenfield Common. A vote was taken on a show of hands and Mrs Foster’s appointment was

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY.
