Decision details

The Executive considered a report proposing the establishment of working groups, their terms of reference and the allocation of seats to those working groups. It was agreed to add the oversight and monitoring of investment strategy and performance to the Property Investment Working Group’s Terms of Reference.

The list of the proposed membership for each Working Group, as nominated by Group Leaders, was noted and it was agreed that, where any nominations were outstanding, these appointments would be made by the Chief Executive in consultation with the relevant Group Leader.

In response to a suggestion that a Climate Change Committee be established in place of the working group, Members were advised that, as this was an executive function, it would need to be a committee of the Executive and the committee’s members would therefore be precluded from being members of a scrutiny committee.

RESOLVED that

(i)        the following Executive Working Groups for the Municipal Year 2021/22 be established:

·      Camberley Town Centre Working Group;

·      Climate Change Working Group;

·      Community Support Working Group;

·      Equality Working Group;

·      Local Plan Working Group;

·      Property Investment Working Group;

·      Surrey Heath Villages Working Group;

(ii)      the Terms of Reference for each of the Working Groups, as set out in the agenda report, as amended, be agreed;

(iii)     the number and allocation of seats on each working group be as set out in the Terms of Reference;

(iv)     the nominations of members to each Working Group by Group Leaders, as previously circulated, be noted; and

(v)      authority to appoint Members to any outstanding vacancies be delegated to the Chief Executive in consultation with the relevant Group Leader.
