Background:

 

This report provided a review of the various Cabinet Advisory Groups and sought the re-establishment of a number of Groups for 2015/2016. The report noted that these Groups did not have any decision making powers and could consist of both executive and non-executive Councillors.

 

The report recommended that the Airport Proposals, the International Economic Development and the Local Transport Plan Cabinet Advisory Groups should not be re-established for 2015/2016 as they were not considered necessary at this time. Proposals to establish a new group called the Strood Regeneration Board were also set out in the report.

 

Decision number:

Decision:

84/2015

The Cabinet agreed the establishment of the Cabinet Advisory Groups with the terms of reference set out in the report and appointment of Members to these bodies, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, for 2015/2016 subject to the following amendments:

Development Plans Advisory Group – increase no. and ratio to 7 (4:3) through the inclusion of Councillors Rodney Chambers OBE and Stamp.

Strood Regeneration Board – remove 1 x Strood Rural Ward Councillor from the membership.

85/2015

The Leader agreed to delete paragraph 8.20 of the Employee Delegation Scheme (International Relations Project Funding).

 

Reasons:

 

The establishment of these groups will support the Cabinet in decision-making and the development of policies.

 

The deletion of paragraph 8.20 of the Employee Delegation Scheme (International Relations Project Funding) will ensure that the Constitution is up to date.
