The Council gave consideration to the report and appendix (as set out at pages 8 - 19 of the agenda update reports pack) which asked Council to appoint the relevant Office Holders of the Council and the Chairs, Vice-Chairs and Members to serve on the Committees, Sub-Committees, Boards, Panels, Forums and Working Groups of the Council (“Council bodies”) for the ensuing municipal year 2023/24.

 

Members were advised that, following recent confirmation from Oadby Village Hall Fund, although their Constitution required two appointees to be made by the Council to serve thereon, those appointees did not need to be elected Members of the current Council. As such, one of the Liberal Democrat political group’s nominations of Councillor S S Athwal had been substituted for former Councillor David M Carter.

 

It was moved by Councillor M H Charlesworth, seconded by Councillor D A Gamble and

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

(i)       The nominated appointments of the Office Holders and the Chairs, Vice-Chairs and Members to serve on the Council bodies for the ensuing municipal year 2023/24 (as set out at Appendix 1 to this report as amended) be approved; and

(ii)      By run-off election, Councillors Samia Z Haq and David M Carter be appointed to the Oadby Village Hall Fund for the ensuing municipal year 2023/24;

(iii)    By run-off election, Councillor Samia Z Haq and Councillor Santokh S Athwal be appointed to the Oadby Educational Trust for the ensuing municipal year 2023/24;

(iv)    By run-off election, Councillor Samia Z Haq be appointed to the University of Leicester Botanic Garden Oversight Board for the ensuing municipal year 2023/24; and

(v)      The current political balance of the Council and the proportionality arrangements as a result thereof in terms of eligible Member representation and allocation of seats on Council bodies by political group (as set out at Appendices 2 and 3 to this report) be noted.
