Appointment of Sub-Committees and representatives on other Committees

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a Report of the Town Clerk concerning the appointment of the Committee’s Sub Committees for the 2020/21 civic year, and to appoint representatives to several other City Corporation positions.

 

Given the previous uncertainty about the start of the 2020/21 civic year, the Committee undertook an informal re-appointment round at the 19th May Finance Committee meeting. This provided Members with the opportunity to express an interest in standing for/or to step down from any of the five Finance Sub-Committees.

 

As a result of that process, wholesale changes at today’s meeting were not anticipated, and the Chairman asked Committee to effectively retain the status quo and “roll over” the current respective memberships into the 2020/21 civic year.

 

RESOLVED – that the Committee approved the following:
