Agenda item

Membership, terms of reference and outside bodies

Minutes:

Mark Norris introduced the report and explained that as this was the first meeting of the year, the Committee were required to confirm its new membership, Terms of Reference, future meeting dates and representation on outside bodies. He also asked whether members wished to reappoint a diversity and inclusion champion, currently Fiona Twycross AM.

 

Mark suggested that any members who were interested in being on an outside body should contact their Lead Member outside of the meeting and that Lead Members then co-ordinate filling the places. This was agreed although several members expressed concern that some of the outside bodies rarely seemed to meet. Mark said that officers had conducted a short survey of members of outside bodies to determine if it was still useful for the LGA to be represented on all of them. He said that based on this feedback, several bodies had been taken off the list.
