The Chief Officer Legal and Regulatory Services, HR and Corporate Policy presented a report which sought Cabinet’s approval for the appointment of Members to joint committees, Cabinet committees and the nomination of Members to outside bodies. The Authority was represented on a number of outside bodies and joint committees as listed in Appendix 1.

It was proposed that Members be appointed for a term of one year except where earlier revocation of appointment is appropriate.

The Chief Officer Legal and Regulatory Services, HR and Corporate Policy   proposed that where Cabinet nominates on the basis of a Member’s role within the Authority the appointment be attached to the role and not to the individual Member, e.g. Scrutiny Chair, Cabinet Member.  All appointments are made with the assumption that appointees represent Bridgend County Borough Council. Further details were at section 3 of the report.

She asked Cabinet to note that the scrutiny members were included on the Corporate Parenting nomination but these were subject to subject to change as they are determined by the individual committees.

RESOLVED: That Cabinet appointed the requisite number of Members to the joint committees and other outside bodies as listed in Appendix 1.
