Member appointments
Report: 8
Date: 06 September 2002
By: Clerk
Summary
The Committee is asked to agree appointments to a Local Government Association (LGA) policy review group, to a link member role and to the Audit Panel membership.
A. Recommendation
That
- Reshard Auladin, Cindy Butts, R David Muir and Cecile Wright be appointed to the LGA Social Inclusion policy review group;
- Jenny Jones be appointed as a second link member for Southwark; and
- Rachel Whittaker be appointed to the membership of the Audit Panel.
B. Supporting information
1. At its last meeting, the committee deferred making appointments to LGA policy groups (education, human resources and social inclusion) because members appointed the previous year had not been asked to attend any meetings.
2. It is understood from the LGA that the future of the policy review groups is under discussion and most did not meet in 2001/02. It appears that the education and human resources groups no longer exist. The only one of relevance to the MPA is the social inclusion group and it is recommended that the MPA's 2001/02 membership, as in recommendation 1 above, be carried forward to 2002/03.
3. Jenny Jones has expressed an interest in becoming a second link member for Southwark (jointly with Cecile Wright). She would continue as a link member for Kensington & Chelsea.
4. At the MPA's annual meeting, Sir John Quinton, Eric Ollerneshaw and Jennette Arnold were appointed to the Audit Panel. As a membership of three is considered inadequate, other MPA members have been invited to consider joining the Panel, with the aim of increasing the membership to five. Rachel Whittaker has expressed an interest. Any other expressions of interest will be reported at the meeting. Although this appointment should be made by the full Authority, the committee is asked to take it under its urgency provisions as the next meeting of the Panel is on 16 September.
C. Equality and diversity implications
There are no specific implications in these appointments.
D. Financial implications
None.
E. Background papers
None.
