Appointments to Committees and Outside Bodies
Report of the Assistant Chief Executive, Legal and Democratic Services
|
1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 To enable appointments to Committees and Outside Bodies to be considered.
|
2.0 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FLOOD AND COASTAL COMMITTEE
2.1 The Executive appoints to the Yorkshire Regional Flood and Coastal Committee. Regional Flood and Coastal Committees were established by the Environment Agency and influence local priorities for flood risk management. At present, Councillor Keane Duncan is appointed to the committee with Councillor John Cattanach as substitute. It is now recommended that Councillor David Jeffels replaces Councillor Keane Duncan as the substantive appointment on the committee.
3.0 FLOODING CHAMPION
3.1 There is currently nobody appointed as the Council’s Flooding Champion. This role does not attract a Special Responsibility Allowance and the appointment is made by the Leader. It is practice, however, for the Leader to seek the endorsement of the Executive for such appointments. The Leader has appointed Councillor David Jeffels to this role.
4.0 IMPLICATIONS
4.1 There are no equalities, finance, legal or climate change implications arising from the recommendations in this report.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 That the Executive appoints Councillor David Jeffels to the Yorkshire Regional Flood and Coastal Committee and that Councillor Keane Duncan is taken off the committee. Councillor John Cattanach is to remain the substitute member.
5.2 That the Executive endorses the appointment of Councillor David Jeffels to the vacant position of Flooding Champion, that has been made by the Leader.
