Members attendance during 2008/09

Report: 3a - annual meeting
Date: 25 June 2009
By: Chief Executive

Summary

This report is a record of member attendances at the MPA bodies to which they were appointed during the year since the last annual meeting in June 2008.

In the case independent members the record commences from their appointment in October 2008.

A. Recommendation

That this report be noted.

B. Supporting information

1. Standing Order 5.1.3 requires that ‘a summary of member attendance during the preceding year at meetings of the Authority and those committees etc to which they have been appointed, shall be reported to the annual meeting of the Authority.’

2. This is attached as Appendix 1. The record of members attendance reflects the change in membership i.e. Independent members and the current Chairman of the Authority were not appointed until October 2008. It does not include:

  • formal bodies which do not have a fixed membership (Domestic Violence Board), members briefings or informal member-level groups (e.g. Estate Panel,).

3. It needs to be borne in mind that this record does not represent a full picture of members’ contributions to the work of the MPA. It does not, for instance, cover link member activities or the significant contribution that some members have made to the Authority’s scrutiny investigations. In terms of the effectiveness of the MPA member role, as much can be and is achieved outside of the formal committee structure as by members meeting in committee.

4. The Vice Chairman of the Authority (Kit Malthouse) and the Chairs of the Strategic and Operational Policing, Finance and Resources and Communities, Equalities and People Committees (Reshard Auladin, Steve O’Connell and Cindy Butts respectively) are ‘ex-officio’ members of those committees of which they are not already a member (with the exception of the Corporate Governance Committee). As ex officio members they do not attend these other committees as a matter of course.

C. Race and equality impact

None.

D. Financial implications

None.

E. Background papers
