Councillor Andy Graham, Leader of the Council introduced the item and proposed accepting the recommendation to note the appointments. Councillor Graham stated that a review had been carried out during the 2024/25 Civic year, and that a survey had been sent to outside bodies, gathering information on contact details, purpose and type of organisation, roles and duties of appointed members, and whether a WODC member appointment was a constitutional requirement. The responses were used to inform the Leader’s appointments to outside bodies, to ensure that appointments were meaningful and constitutionally appropriate.
Councillor Duncan Enright, the Deputy Leader seconded the recommendations.
The Leader was asked how appointments would be evaluated for effectiveness. The Leader and Deputy Leader explained that the purpose of the review was to establish this, and that the improved contact list would further allow this to happen on a regular basis.
The recommendation was voted on and approved unanimously.
