Minutes:
The Portfolio Holder for Finance, Legal and Democratic Services advised that the report had arisen from a suggestion at Council in May that an independent person could bring specialist knowledge and insight to the Audit Committee.
In response to a question the Democratic Services Specialist confirmed that the appointment did not currently attract an allowance but reasonable travel expenses would be paid. Any change to this would only be with the agreement of Council.
There was no debate and Members were content to approve the appointment of an independent person to sit on Audit Committee for a period of two years and approve the advert, role description, skills and competencies and person specification at Appendix A.
