To consider the report of the Head of Paid Service (copy enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Head of Paid Service seeking Members’ consideration of the appointment of representatives to serve on Local Government and Outside Bodies for the ensuing municipal year.

The Leader of the Council proposed that all appointments to representatives on Local Government and outside bodies be agreed subject to the following amendments:

·                 Maldon Sure Start – Councillor A L Hull with Councillor Miss S White as substitute.

·                 Responsible Authorities Group – Councillor A L Hull with Councillor Miss S White as substitute.

This was duly seconded.

Councillor M S Heard proposed that Councillor W Stamp be added to the membership of the Local Area Highways Panel as there was no representative from Maldon or Burnham-on-Crouch on this Panel.  The Chairman advised that there was already a proposal being considered and should that not be successful at this time an alternative motion could be put.

The Chairman then put the Leader of the Council’s motion to the Council.  Upon a vote being taken this was agreed.

In response to questions, the Chairman provided clarification in respect of Motions, advising that once a Motion was on the table it could be amended provided it did not negate all or any part of that Motion. 

RESOLVED that the appointment of representatives to Local Government and outside bodies as detailed in Appendix 1 to these Minutes, be approved.
