(a)       That the Council notes the current Outside Bodies list;

(b)       That all nominations shall run until May 2022 unless the nominated Member resigns from that Outside Body; and

(c)        That the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Group Leaders, be authorised to make nominations to Outside Bodies on behalf of the Council.

The Democratic Services Manager introduced the report on Outside Bodies to which the Council made appointments, together with nominees and their respective terms of office.  Following the recent County Council elections all of the nominations required consideration. 

At each Annual Meeting a recommendation was made to delegate to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the political Group Leaders, the ability to make nominations to the bodies.  Delegation was now required to make the initial nomination and also during the course of 2017/18 municipal year which would ensure that any changes could be dealt with efficiently.

            All nominations made were intended to run for the life of the Council, to May 2022.

            In response to a question from Councillor Hutchinson, the Chief Officer (Governance) explained that all members ceased to be a representative on outside bodies prior to the election and that new nominations were being sought.

            Following a question from Councillor Phillips, the Chief Executive explained that Conwy County Borough Council were in the process of determining the numbers to be allocated to each Council for representative on the Police and Crime Panel.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Council notes the current Outside Bodies list;

(b)       That all nominations shall run until May 2022 unless the nominated Member resigns from that Outside Body; and

(c)        That the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Group Leaders, be authorised to make nominations to Outside Bodies on behalf of the Council.
