Report of the Leader

RESOLVED THAT:

1.    nominations to the outside bodies as set out in Appendix 3A and Appendix 3B are approved, in accordance with the following principles:

-        all nominations are made on the basis that the nominee is a representative of Cheltenham Borough Council insofar as that is compatible with any overriding legal duty to the outside body;

-        Cabinet / the Leader reserves the right at any time to withdraw/terminate a nomination which it has made; and

2.    Cabinet Member responsibilities for the bodies/groups listed in Appendix 3C are noted.

The Leader introduced the report, saying that the council makes nominations, with group leader agreement, to a variety of external organisations and groups, which then must decide whether to accept the nomination and make the appointment. If there is no group leader agreement, the matter would have to be referred to Council. There are also a small number of exceptions, such as Cheltenham Borough Homes, Gloucestershire Airport and the Cheltenham Trust, where the council has the right to make appointments to the board of directors.  All appointments are for two years.

There were no Members questions or comments.
