Decisions:

Council considered a report by the Chief Executive (circulated previously) regarding appointments to Outside Bodies.  The Chief Executive advised that following the Annual Council meeting on 16th May 2019 there were a number of appointments to Outside bodies that were outstanding and needed to be considered.  In relation to the Braunton Marsh Internal Drainage Board, it was understood that Councillors appointed needed to represent the Braunton area, however this needed to be reconsidered.

 

It was moved by Councillor Worden and seconded by Councillor Leaver “that recommendations 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 be adopted subject to Councillor D Spear being appointed to North Devon Biosphere Reserve Partnership; Councillor York being appointed to One Barnstaple; appointments to the Braunton Marsh Internal Drainage Board being deferred until the Council meeting on 25th September 2019; and Councillor Wilkinson be appointed to the Northern Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership.”

 

Councillor Davis declared a personal interest as a Devon County Councillor appointed to the Northern Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership.

 

Councillor Chesters declared a personal interest as Chair of the Braunton Marsh Internal Drainage Board.  She advised that she had requested the secretary to provide a copy of the Board’s term of reference.
