Changes to Committee and Outside Body Appointments PDF 233 KB This report asks Members to agree changes to the membership of a number of committees and outside bodies. Minutes: At the Annual Council meeting on 25 May 2017, appointments were made to Outside Bodies for the 2017/18 municipal year. Since then, the Leader had made some interim changes to the Executive and a result of this further changes were required to the membership of committees and outside bodies.
Members were advised that page 4 or the agenda papers (Para 3 (ii) Outside Bodies, third paragraph) should read “Councillor Reid to replace Councillor Ayre” and not “....to replace Cllr Aspden” as stated in agenda papers, and that York and District Citizens Advice Bureau should not be included in this list of outside bodies as this appointment was not related to the Executive portfolio area therefore Cllr Ayre would remain in this appointment.
The committee then considered the following requests with regard to committees and outside bodies:
· Customer and Corporate Services Scrutiny Management Committee To appoint Cllr Ayre to replace Cllr Reid
· Economy & Place Scrutiny Committee To appoint Cllr Aspden to replace Cllr Reid
· Main Planning Committee To appoint Cllr Ayre as Chair of the committee; (Cllr Reid to remain as a member of the committee)
· Councillor Orrell to replace Councillor Aspden on the following outside bodies:
· Council Business Support York and North Yorkshire; · Make it York Board (as a Substitute)
· Councillor Waller to replace Councillor Aspden on the following outside bodies:
· York BID · Leeds City Region LEP Leaders Board · West Yorkshire Combined Authority · Local Government North Yorkshire and York (as a substitute) · York, North Yorkshire and East Riding LEP Board (as a substitute)
· Councillor Reid to replace Councillor Ayre on the following outside bodies:
· Active York · Community Stadium Lead Members Group · York and North Yorkshire Playing Fields Association · York Sports Village Stakeholder Group · York@ Large
One member suggested that the decision with regard to Chair of Planning Committee be deferred. Other Members noted that in the past the committee had accepted a group leader’s decision with regard to replacement appointments on committees and felt that this principle should be applied on this occasion.
Resolved: That all the above changes, to committees and outside body memberships, be agreed.
Reason: In order to make appropriate appointments to the Council’s Committees and Outside Bodies for the current municipal year.
