1.1 To approve the appointment of the six nominated Councillors from each constituent Council as co-opted (voting) Members of the Governance and Audit Sub-Committee.

1.2 To approve the appointment of three lay members to be co-opted (voting) onto the Governance and Audit Sub-Committee.

DISCUSSION

The report was submitted reminding the committee that it was a statutory requirement for the Corporate Joint Committee to establish a Governance and Audit Sub-Committee. It had been previously agreed to seek a Sub-Committee consisting of three lay members and six elected members. The ensuing work to appoint the Governance and Audit Sub-Committee was reported and nominations were received from the Councils' Governance and Audit Committees.

It was made clear in light of the strict quorum requirements surrounding CJC matters that the proposal also included the election of deputies. Attention was drawn to paragraph 3.8 of the report which listed the names nominated by the Councils and from the lay members of Governance and Audit Committees. It was noted that it was gratifying to report that there had been an element of collaboration in relation to the nominations as Councils supported lay members jointly.

Gratitude was expressed for the report reiterating that this was mandatory to comply with the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee (Establishment Regulations) and that it was the Joint Committee's responsibility to appoint. The report was supported.
