Agenda item

The meeting considered the report of the Member Appointments Process Panel and considered each of the appointments in the order set out recommendations 1 to 11 in the report. In most cases the appointments were moved, seconded and approved in accordance with the expressions of interest in the report. Any changes to the report are identified below:

 

Planning Committee

 

Members were advised that, under the previously agreed principles for allocating places on Planning Committee to Members appointed by a Local Authority, Members appointed by Derbyshire County Council had been allocated one place. As Cllr Mrs J A Twigg and Cllr D Williams had both expressed an interest, the Authority voted on the appointment and Cllr Mrs J A Twigg was appointed to the Planning Committee.

 

It was agreed that as 6 Secretary of State Members has expressed an interest in being appointed to Planning Committee there would be 1 Secretary of State vacancy on the Committee.

 

Audit Resources and Performance Committee

 

In light of the earlier appointment of Cllr Mrs J A Twigg to Planning Committee, Cllr D Williams was appointed to Audit, Resources and Performance Committee. To accommodate the expressions of interest from Secretary of State Members it was agreed that there would be 16 places on the Committee with 8 allocated to Local Authority Members and 8 allocated to Secretary of State Members.

 

Local Joint Committee

 

It was agreed that Cllr Mrs C Howe be appointed to fill the Local Authority Member vacancy on the Committee.

 

Appeals Panel

 

It was agreed that Cllr J Walton be appointed to fill the Local Authority Member vacancy on the Panel.

 

Strategic Advisory Group

 

Cllr Mrs J A Twigg was appointed to fill the Local Authority Member vacancy on the Advisory Group. It was noted that all Members were welcome to attend meetings of the Group and, subject to agreement from the Chair, to speak on items under discussion.

 

Appointment to Member Representative Roles

 

The Authority agreed to continue the arrangement with Cllr P Brady and Mr Z Hamid sharing the People and Communities role but agreed that this principle should not apply to the Biodiversity Role. Mr R Helliwell therefore withdrew his expression of interest and as there were no further nominations Mrs P Anderson was appointed.

 

Mrs F Beatty withdrew her expression of interest in the Economy role and as there were no further nominations Cllr C Furness was appointed.

 

The nominations for Cllr A Favell and Cllr C Furness to the Asset Management role were moved and seconded, voted on, and Cllr A Favell was appointed.

 

It was agreed that the Member Learning and Development role would remain vacant pending a review on the Member Representative roles to reflect the new Corporate Strategy.
