Report of the Chief Executive. 

(Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Roger Mace)

 

The Chief Executive submitted a report that gave consideration to the membership and terms of reference of the Cabinet Committee, Cabinet Liaison Groups and also Cabinet appointments to Outside Bodies, Partnerships and Boards. 

 

The options, options analysis, including risk assessment were set out in the report as follows:

 

With regard to the Cabinet Committee and Cabinet Liaison Groups the options were:

 

To note existing arrangements and make no amendments other than to the memberships. 

 

To consider and approve, where appropriate, any proposals from Cabinet Members. 

 

With regard to the Outside Bodies, Partnerships and Boards the options were for Cabinet to make appointments, as set out in the Appendix to the report. 

 

The Officer preferred option was for appointments to be aligned as closely as possible to individual Cabinet Members’ portfolios. 

 

It was moved by Councillor Roger Mace and seconded by Councillor Eileen Blamire -

 

“That Cabinet agrees to re-constitute the existing Committee and Liaison Groups previously constituted with the exception of the Children and Young People’s Cabinet Liaison Group and that no additional Committees or Liaison Groups be created and that recommendations (3) as set out in the report and appointments set out in recommendation (5), as amended at the meeting, be approved.”
