Appointments to committees, panels and joint committees for 2014/15

To consider the report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services (report attached).

 

Minutes:

Council considered the report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services on the appointment of those committees which are required to be politically balanced together with the Communities Capital Grant Scheme and Licensing Acts Committee and appointments to joint bodies.

 

The Chairman referred to the following recommendation tabled at the meeting covering these appointments to reflect the allocation of an additional Planning Committee seat to the Conservative group, a NNDR Appeals Panel seat to the Liberal Democrat group and a Housing Appeals Panel seat to each of the Independent and Labour groups to reflect their membership on the council. The recommendation reflected the Independent group’s offer of its seats on the Audit and Governance Committee and the Housing Appeals Panel and the Conservative group’s offer of one of its seats on the NNDR Panel to Mr Neville Harris.

 

That for the 2014/15 municipal year Council:

1.      appoints the committees and panels for the 2014/15 year and allocate seats to each political group as set in the schedule circulated at the meeting subject to 10 seats being allocated to the Conservative Group on the Planning Committee, one seat on the NNDR Appeals Panel being allocated to the Liberal Democrat group and one seat each on the Housing Appeals Panel being allocated to the Independent and Labour groups;

  1. appoints councillors and substitutes to sit on the committees and panels as set out in the schedule circulated at the meeting;

3.      appoints councillors to the Licensing Acts Committee as set out in the schedule circulated at the meeting;

  1. appoints councillors and substitutes to the Communities Capital Grant Scheme Panel as set out in the schedule circulated at the meeting;
  2. appoints committee chairmen and vice-chairmen as set out in the schedule circulated at the meeting;
  3. appoints Mr N Harris to the Independent group’s seat on the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and Housing Appeals Panel and one of the Conservative group's seats on the NNDR Panel;
  4. appoints Dr C Hood as the council’s representative on the Oxfordshire Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee and Mrs E Gillespie as substitute;
  5. appoints Mr B Service as the council’s representative and Mr J Cotton as an observer substitute on the Thames Valley Police and Crime Panel;
  6. appoints Mrs A Ducker, as the Leader of Council, Mrs A Badcock, as the Conservative member, and Mrs E Hodgkin, as the representative from the opposition groups, to the Joint Staff Committee;
  7. authorises the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to make appointments to any vacant committee or panel and substitute positions in accordance with the wishes of the relevant group leader

 

Prior to the vote on the above motion Mrs Hards advised that the schedule circulated at the meeting wrongly showed her as the Labour member on the Communities Capital Grant Scheme Panel rather than Mr B Cooper.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

1.      appoint the following committees and panels for the 2014/15 year and to appoint the membership, substitutes and chairmen and vice-chairmen as indicated to sit on them:
