(a)   
To formally remove Councillor Mike Bush as the appointee of the
Council on the Waste Management Partnership Board and Essex
Councils Climate Forum.

 

(b)   
To formally appoint Councillor Adrian Smith, in his capacity of
Portfolio Holder for Environment, to the Waste Management
Partnership Board and Essex Councils Climate Forum.

Reasons for the decision

Following the
change in membership of the Council’s Cabinet, to realign the
appointments to the two named Outside Bodies.  The Outside Bodies are:
 
Waste Management
Partnership Board – This includes Essex County Council, our
12 district and borough councils and the unitary authority of
Southend-on- sea Borough Council. The Essex Waste Partnership was
set up to ensure cost-efficient and sustainable waste management is
delivered across the county and Southend.
 
Essex Councils
Climate Forum – This is a place where councillors with an
environmental remit from across Essex can meet informally to share
ideas, learning and best practice, to discuss and design joint
projects, take stock and inspire, and forge the partnerships that
will deliver the climate agenda in the coming years.

Alternative options considered

Not to take up the
appointment nomination right and, thereby, not support this
Council’s objects on the two Outside Bodies or otherwise
promote the interests of the District.
