APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR: OBAN COMMON GOOD FUND 
2.0 INTRODUCTION 
2.1 The purpose of this report is to invite the Trustees of the Oban Common
Good Fund to appoint a Trustee to serve as the Chair. 
3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 
3.1 That the Trustees agree to appoint one of the Trustees nominated by the
Council on 25 April 2024 to serve as the Chair of the Oban Common Good
Fund. 
4.0 DETAIL 
4.1 The Council reviewed the Political Management Arrangements on 25
April 2024.  As part of their considerations, it was agreed to appoint
Councillors Hampsey and Lynch (Ward 4 – Oban South & the Isles) and
Councillors Green and McKenzie (Ward 5 – Oban North & Lorn) to serve
as Trustees on the Oban Common Good Fund. 
4.2 At this first meeting of the Fund since the appointments were made, it
would be appropriate to consider and agree the appointment of one of
the four appointed Trustees to fulfil the role of Chair. 
4.3 Historically the Chair of the Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Committee, when
appointed as a Trustee, has also fulfilled the role of Chair of the OCGF but that
is a matter for Trustees to determine.

consider appointing one of their number to carry out the role of Chair.
