Agenda item

The Board to consider the appointment of a Board Member to the Professional Standards and Integrity Committee and the Strategic Planning and Performance Committee

Members considered appointments to the Professional Standards and Integrity Committee (PSIC) and the Strategic Planning and Performance Committee (SPPC).

No nominations had been received by the Town Clerk in advance of the meeting.

Following his recent appointment to the Board, the Chair proposed that Jason Groves take the position on both Sub-Committees.

As Mr Groves was already a Member of PSIC as Co-Opted Member of the Court, the Board agreed that this vacancy should be released back to the Court. The Town Clerk was to advertise the vacancy which would then be considered at the next meeting of the Board (October 2023).

The Town Clerk noted that there was still a City of London Police Authority Board vacancy on the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Sub (Community & Children’s Services) Committee. Helen Fentimen noted she was already on the Sub-Committee in another capacity and, with the Board’s consent, agreed to represent the Board, too.

RESOLVED, That Members:-

• Appoint Jason Groves to the Professional Standards and Integrity Committee for the remainder of the year ensuing;
• Appoint Jason Groves to the Strategic Planning and Performance Committee for the remainder of the year ensuing;
• Instruct the Town Clerk to advertise the Co-Opted Court of Common Council vacancy on Professional Standards and Integrity Committee, for appointment by the Board at its next meeting; and

Appoint Helen Fentimen to the outstanding Board vacancy on the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Sub (Community & Children’s Services) Committee, for the year ensuing.
