The
Committee considered the report of Mrs Angela Woodhouse, the Head
of Policy, Communications and Governance which provided further
information on a number of outside bodies that Members had asked to
reconsider.
Councillor Vizzard declared that he was a Parish Council
representative on the Medway Valley Line Steering Group which was
one of the outside bodies to be considered at the
meeting.
In
response to Members’ comments, the Committee noted that the
decision to be made related only to the four outside bodies on the
papers and that the criteria should be applied as before in
considering whether to retain or delete these outside
bodies.
Mrs
Patricia Narebor, the Head of Legal Partnership advised Members
that if they were to revisit the original recommendations it would
compromise the process of the Committee. She concluded that it
was for the Committee to make a decision on just the four outside
bodies listed in the report.
Councillor Mrs Ring asked for her dissent to be noted in regard
to this.
