Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Prosperity considered the appointment of a representative to the LGA Urban Commission.

At its meeting on 3 March 2009, the Cabinet had made appointments to all outside organisations on the Category 1 Schedule (high level strategic or statutory organisations). Councillors B G Silvester and J Macrae had been appointed to the LGA Urban Commission.

The LGA Urban Commission provided the forum within the Local Government Association (LGA) for member authorities whose areas were wholly or partly urban.

Councillor Macrae had since resigned from the appointment and a replacement was required. Councillor P Mason had expressed a willingness to be appointed.

RESOLVED

That

(1)   Councillor Peter Mason be appointed to the LGA Urban Commission, with immediate effect, to replace Councillor Jamie Macrae; and

(2)   the appointment terminate on 5 May 2011 (the date of the local elections).
