ITEM CA12

CABINET – 15 MAY 2007

APPOINTMENTS

Report by Assistant Head of Service (Democratic)

1.                  Under Section H of the Constitution the Cabinet is responsible for appointments to those outside bodies which have been identified by the Cabinet as "strategic” and “noted as such on a list of all relevant offices and bodies from time to time presented to and endorsed by the Council".   (The Democracy & Organisation Committee has responsibility for appointments to other outside bodies.) 

2.                  The bodies currently designated as “strategic” are listed in Annex 1 (download as .doc file), which also identifies the councillors who have been appointed by the Cabinet to the respective bodies as at 1 May 2007.   The Cabinet is invited to review the existing appointments and to make any changes which are considered appropriate. 

3.                  GTE for Oxfordshire remains on the appointments list even though the scheme on which it had been working is not currently being pursued.   However the company has not been wound up and some further actions may be required.   It is therefore considered that the existing appointments to the company should be maintained.

4.                  The Oxfordshire Public Service Board has been included following the Cabinet’s decision on 19 December 2006. 

RECOMMENDATION

5.                  The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to make any revised appointments as appropriate in the light of nominations made by the date of the meeting.
