Agenda item

The Authority considered a report on making appointments to Outside Bodies until the Annual Meeting in July 2018.

At the 2017 Annual Meeting the Authority had asked Officers to carry out a review of the list of outside bodies to establish whether Member Representation was still needed. The report provided information on the outcome of this review.

At the meeting there was a discussion on whether Oldham and National Park Partnership should be included in the list of outside bodies. The Chief Executive agreed to look into the status of the Partnership and would bring a report back to a future Authority meeting if an outside body appointment was needed.

In most cases the appointments were moved, seconded and approved in accordance with the report of the Appointment Process Panel attached as Appendix 1 subject to the following changes:
