Report
Consideration was given to a report which sought to formalise the previously informal arrangements relating to Member Champions ensuring the roles were permitted to claim expenses in accordance with the Councils Members Allowance Scheme.
A number of key points in relation to the Member Champion roles was detailed in Section 1.5 of the report and were drawn to Members’ attention.
RESOLVED to RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL that:
(a) the Constitution be amended to formalise the roles of Member Champions; and thus to enable travel and subsistence claims to be made for attendance at meetings and events by Members in their capacity as Member Champions, as is set out for representation on Outside Bodies; and
(b) the responsibility for appointing Member Champions be included in the roles for committees.
