To consider the benefits of making appointments to outside bodies that are now due and to make such appointments as deemed appropriate for the period 2019-2023 (Report of the Executive Director – Strategy and Governance (Monitoring Officer) copy enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Monitoring Officer which presented the benefits of making appointments to outside bodies that are now due and sought to make such appointments as deemed appropriate for the period 2019-2023.

The Executive Manager – Governance introduced the report. The appointments were being made by the annual Council meeting after the District Council election in 2023. Councillor Porter announced further nominations for Outside bodies which were as follows;

·         IVO Day centre – Councillor Taylor

·         South Holland Internal Drainage Board – Councillor Coupland

·         Spalding Energy Project – Community Liaison Group – Councillor Taylor

Councillor Brewis stated that he wished to withdraw his nomination to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau – Board of Trustees. This left Councillors Astill and Beal as unchallenged nominations.
