Issue - meetings

At the last meeting of the Sub-Committee it was agreed that as part of the review process Councillors appointed to organisations would be asked their views on the organisation.

It was requested that a draft letter be prepared for approval by the Sub-Committee; a copy of which is attached and incorporates the questions that were suggested.

At its last meeting the Sub-Committee had agreed that as part of its ongoing  review process it would ask Members appointed to outside bodies their views on the appropriateness of their representation on the organisation.  A draft letter had been prepared for approval by the Sub-Committee, based on the questions it had suggested.

A minor amendment was made to the wording of Q4, to insert ‘to date’ after the word contribution.   In addition a further question was added as follows:

5.  Have any Cheshire East Officers been present to provide support at any of these meetings?

It was agreed that the letter should be sent by email, with a response slip attached, to Members appointed to the first two tranches of organisations shown on the list circulated as part of the work programme.

RESOLVED

That approval be given to the draft letter subject to the insertion of ‘to date’ in Q4, and the addition of a further question concerning officer support at meetings.
