Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Chief Executive.

The Council considered the report of the Chief Executive listing the nominations of the Leader Designate of the Council, tabled at the meeting.

The following inaccuracies were highlighted by Members of the Council and the relevant actions agreed by the Council:

·               Maldon District Rural Housing Task Group – Task Group finished, to be deleted from the listing.

·               Maldon Older People’s Floating Service Steering Group – to be deleted from the listing.

·               Maldon Children’s Centre Partnership Group – now called Sure Start Maldon.

Councillor Miss M R Lewis and Mrs B D Harker requested that they be removed from the Local Highways Panel.  It was clarified that Membership of this panel should be drawn from the Area Planning Committees.  Councillor M F L Durham proposed that at the first meeting of each Area Planning Committee they nominate two Members of the Committee to site on the Highways Panel.  This was duly seconded and agreed.

RESOLVED

(i)              that the changes to the Local Government and Outside Bodies as set out in paragraph 3.2 of the report be noted;

(ii)            that each of the Area Planning Committees be asked to nominate two Members from its Membership to sit on the Highway Panel;

(iii)          that the appointment of representatives on Local Government and outside bodies as amended and detailed in Appendix 1 to these Minutes, be approved.
