Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a request from the Sandbach Traders and Retailers Association (STAR) to be added to the list of approved outside organisations, and for a member of the Council to be appointed to it.

The report set out the established procedure for considering such applications, including the approved criteria against which the aims and purpose of the organisation needed to be assessed.  The Constitution and rules of STAR were appended to the report. 

The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the organisation fulfilled (c) and (e) of the necessary criteria and that the Constitution Committee should be recommended to add it to the list of Category 2 organisations appointed by that Committee. 

In addition STAR had requested that in the event of the application for inclusion being agreed Councillor Barry Moran should be the Councils representative; he had been attending meetings as a Ward Member, on an informal basis.  The Sub-Committee supported this request and agreed that it be submitted to the Constitution Committee for approval.

RESOLVED

That the Constitution Committee be recommended to add Sandbach Traders and Retailers Association to list of Category 2 Outside Organisations and that Councillor Barry Moran be appointed as this Councils representative.
