To agree a job description for Parish Representatives on the Standards Committee.

The Deputy Monitoring Officer tabled a slightly amended 'job description' for Parish Representatives on the Standards Committee, which had required some minor updates in the light of certain provisions contained within the Standards Committee (England) Regulations 2008.  This would be referred to the next Bromsgrove Area Committee meeting of the Worcestershire County Association of Local Councils (CALC) in June in order that parish council nominees had an understanding of the role of parish representatives on the Committee. 

The Deputy Monitoring Officer advised that as the Regulations, which required that there be a minimum of two parish council representatives on the Standards Committee, came into force on 8th May 2008, there would be a recommendation put forward to the Annual Meeting of the Council on 7th May 2008 that Mr. Hodgetts, the Deputy Parish Council's Representative, be made a full member of the Standards Committee until the 16th July 2008 meeting of the Council, at which time the Parish Council Representative nominations for 2008/09 would be considered.    

RESOLVED that the updated 'job description' for Parish Representatives on the Standards Committee be approved and forwarded to the Worcestershire CALC.
