REASONS FOR THE DECISION

To strengthen the Sub-committee's Membership by increasing its membership to include representation of Members with specific experience and skills, and expertise on transport from a regional and national perspective.

DISCUSSION

It was advised that  the Sub-committee had the right to elect two Co-opted Members (without a vote) in order to support their work. The  final decision on co-opting those Members was the responsibility of the Corporate Joint Committee.

It was explained that Co-opted Members were appointed as Members to support the function of the CJC rather than to represent any organisation or employer. It was confirmed that the terms of co-optionwould be set out in the co-option agreement and would only apply to those transport functions delegated to the Sub-committee..

Guidance was given on the type and range of skills and experience that would benefit the sub-committee and that it was a decision for Members whether they wanted to co-opt two Members (non-voting) onto this Sub-committee.

The recommendation to co-opt Members (without a vote) was supported. It was confirmed that it would be the responsibility of Eryri National Park and Transport for Wales to confirm the suitable individuals to attend meetings of the Sub-committee.
