Summary 1.1 At the statutory meeting held on 19 May 2022 the Council approved the composition of its Boards. A number of member appointments were made at the meeting, and it was agreed that the other members to be nominated be intimated to the Head of Corporate Governance by 24 May 2022. A number of such nominations were received and the composition of each of the Boards is detailed in Appendix 1 to this report. 1.2 A small number of vacancies remained on Boards and other bodies following the 19 May meeting of Council. These vacancies include: • Petitions Board – three Administration Members required • Joint Consultative Board Non-teachers – five members required (to comprise three members from the Administration and two members from the opposition groups or parties) • Audit, Risk and Scrutiny Board – two members required from the Administration • Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Strategic Development Planning Authority (Clydeplan) – one member required • Cultural Recovery and Renewal Fund Panel – one member required (not to be a member of the OneRen Board)

The Administration have subsequently intimated nominations as follows: • Councillors Adam, Hughes and Paterson in respect of the Petitions Board. • Councillors Audrey Doig (as Convener), Airlie-Nicolson (as Depute Convener) and Hughes in respect of the Joint Consultative Board Non-teachers • Councillors Hughes and Adam in respect of the Audit, Risk and Scrutiny Board • Councillor Paterson in respect of the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Strategic Development Planning Authority (Clydeplan) The Administration have also intimated that that Councillor Hughes will replace Councillor Shaw on the Economy and Regeneration Policy Board. 1.3 The Glasgow City Region Cabinet has now submitted a completed questionnaire requesting that one member and one substitute member be appointed by this Council. This request was received too late to be submitted to the meeting of this Council held on 19 May 2022. The Administration have nominated Councillor Nicolson with Councillor Jacqueline Cameron as substitute. 1.4 It had previously been agreed that the Depute Convener of the Audit, Risk & Scrutiny Board be a member of the opposition. Councillor Montgomery has been nominated by the Labour group. 1.5. Appointments to other bodies were also approved at the statutory meeting and Appendix 2 to this report provides the complete list of the members appointed. 1.6 At the meeting of Council on 19 May it was agreed that the existing Board structure be disbanded with six Boards being created. Accordingly, it was agreed that the Head of Corporate Governance be instructed to draft a timetable for the meetings of Boards and Panels to be held throughout June 2022 and that an updated timetable of meetings from August to December 2022 be submitted to this meeting of Council for approval. Accordingly, a timetable of meetings is attached as Appendix 3 hereto. Members are also requested to agree that a timetable of meetings to December 2024 be submitted to the meeting of Council to be held on 29 September 2022. 1.7 At the meeting of the Council on 19 May it was agreed that a subcommittee of the Leadership Board be created and instructed the Head of Corporate Governance to bring a report to the Council Meeting
Page 3
of 30 June in respect of the proposed remit and membership of the subcommittee. This report sets out the proposed membership of the new Fairer Renfrewshire Subcommittee, with the proposed remit set out in Appendix 4 hereto. 1.8 At the meeting of Council on 19 May, Council agreed the number of elected members to be remunerated as Senior Councillors and the amount of remuneration to be paid to each Senior Councillor, and which elected members were to be paid as Senior Councillors. The Administration have subsequently proposed a revised structure of payments reducing the number of Senior Councillors by one, and revising amounts paid to Senior Councillors accordingly. This is set out in Appendix 5 hereto. 1.9 This report also sets out arrangements for Board and Council meetings going forward considering the current position on public health measures and guidance in place to combat Covid-19. 1.10 The arrangements set out in the report continue those previously put in place to allow maximum flexibility to enable meetings to take place in the most appropriate and safe way, while considering any public health guidance or advice available at the time of the meetings. 1.11 The report also proposes amendments to the Scheme of Delegated Functions. ___________________________________________________________________ 2. Recommendations 2.1 That the membership of the Boards as approved at the meeting of the Council held on 19 May 2022 and the appointment of the other members as detailed in Appendix 1 to this report be noted; 2.2 That Council agrees the appointment of members of the Boards and other bodies set out in paragraph 1.2 of this report; 2.3 That Council considers the appointment of Councillor Nicolson and Councillor Jacqueline Cameron as member and substitute member to the Glasgow City Region Cabinet; 2.4 That Council consider the appointment of Councillor Montgomery as the Depute Convener of the Audit, Risk & Scrutiny Board; 2.5 That the appointments to Joint Boards and other bodies as approved at the meeting of the Council held on 19 May 2022, and the other members as detailed in Appendix 2 to this report, be noted;
Page 4
2.6 That Council agrees the updated timetable of meetings from August to December 2022 attached as Appendix 3 to the report and further agrees that a timetable of meetings to December 2024 be submitted to the meeting of Council to be held on 29 September 2022; and 2.7 That Council agree the membership of the new Fairer Renfrewshire Subcommittee of the Leadership Board as set out in section 3 of this report and the Remit set out in Appendix 4. 2.8 That Council consider the proposed revised structure of payments to Senior Councillors as set out in Appendix 5. 2.9 That Council approve the arrangements for Council and Board meetings set out in section 4 of this report, which will continue to include the options to use hybrid meetings involving elected members attending meetings in person in Renfrewshire House. 2.10 That Council approves the changes to the Scheme of Delegated Functions as set out in section 5 of this report. ___________________________________________________________________ 3. Background – Fairer Renfrewshire Subcommittee 3.1 At the meeting of the Council on 19 May it was agreed that a subcommittee of the Leadership Board be created. It is proposed that this subcommittee be called the Fairer Renfrewshire Subcommittee. 3.2 It is further proposed that the subcommittee will comprise of seven members drawn from the membership of the Leadership Board, being four members from the Administration and one member from each of the other political parties represented on the Leadership Board. 3.3 It is further proposed that the subcommittee will be chaired by the Leadership Board Depute Convener, Councillor Jacqueline Cameron. 3.4 The proposed remit is set out in Appendix 4 hereto. ___________________________________________________________________ 4. Arrangements for the Next Cycle of meetings 4.1 At the Meeting of Council on 28 April Council agreed to continue the previously approved arrangements for the conduct of Council and Board meetings including the availability of hybrid meetings for Council with conveners having discretion to continue holding meetings of their Board by Teams. It was also noted that all of the Council and board meetings would be broadcast live to allow the public to observe those meetings.

4.2 The Scottish Government Strategic Framework sets out a system of Covid Threat Levels. The guidance for workplaces, supports a managed and gradual return to office-based working, with a hybrid and flexible working practices encouraged. A focus is retained on maximising ventilation and enhanced cleaning and hygiene measures such as provision of alcohol based hand sanitizer. The ongoing return to Renfrewshire House is continuing for the time being to apply such measures including in the Council Chamber, reflecting the current guidance and the duty on the Council to protect the health and well- being of its elected members and employees. 4.3 An assessment of the ventilation within the Council Chamber has established that the capacity within the Chamber exceeds the number of seats available, including the public seating. However, the ability to hold hybrid meetings allows a significant degree of flexibility for Members and the public to attend meetings even where the majority of those attending the meeting are doing so in person. 4.4 Accordingly it is proposed that Council and Board meetings now proceed on an assumption of in person meetings within the Chamber but retaining the hybrid capability to allow remote participation where requested. It is also proposed that the protocol previously adopted by the Council for hybrid meetings be retained allowing each convener to decide to hold the meeting remotely by Teams if required. It is proposed that the Head of Corporate Governance will review the protocol to consider any potential changes to procedure to better facilitate meetings where all Members are physically present in the chambers and will report back to the next scheduled Council meeting on 29 September 2022. ___________________________________________________________________ 5 Amendment to Scheme of Delegated Functions 5.1 As part of a Right for Renfrewshire review of Communities and Public Protection, changes to the Council’s enforcement of certain Civic and Liquor Licensing matters were considered. To enhance the capacity in these areas it is proposed that additional officers be empowered to carry out enforcement work in these areas, namely Fair Trading Officers. The existing Civic Licensing Standards Enforcement Officer and Licensing Standards Officer have changed services from the Licensing Section within Finance and Resources to now sit within Communities and Housing to work alongside the Fair Trading Officers. 5.2 These changes require certain changes to be made to the Council’s Scheme of Delegations. It is therefore proposed that in Section 4 Statutory Appointments of Officers, the section:-
Page 6
Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 s.45G Civic Licensing Standards Officer Civic Government Enforcement Officer and Licensing Standards Officers be amended to:_ Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 s.45G Civic Licensing Standards Officer Civic Licensing Standards Officer, Licensing Standards Officer .and Fair Trading Officers 5.3 Also in Section 4 Statutory Appointments of Officers, that a new delegation be created as follows:- Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 s13 Licensing Standards Officer Civic Licensing Standards Officer, Licensing Standards Officer and Fair Trading Officers 5.4 In paragraph 76 of section F, the delegation:- Civic Government Enforcement Officer and Licensing Standards Officer 76. All Civic Government Enforcement and Licensing Standards Officers are appointed as authorised officers in terms of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 to carry out enforcement activities as required in relation to the licensing provisions of the Act and also as regards any conditions of licence attached to licences granted under the Act, all as directed by the Head of Corporate Governance, Legal & Democratic Services Manager, and Assistant Managing Solicitor (Licensing). be amended to read:- Civic Licensing Standards Officer, Licensing Standards Officer and Fair Trading Officers 76. All Civic Licensing Standards Officers, Licensing Standards Officers and Fair Trading Officers are appointed as authorised officers in terms of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 to carry out enforcement activities as required in relation to the licensing provisions of the Act and also as regards any conditions of licence attached to licences granted under the Act, all as directed by the Head of Corporate Governance, Legal & Democratic Services Manager, and Assistant Managing Solicitor (Licensing). ___________________________________________________________________
