WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by Chief Officer – Regulatory and Regeneration Meeting of West Dunbartonshire Council: 17 June 2026 ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: Vacancies on Council Committees 1. Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this report is to request that the Council fills the current list of vacancies on council committees, working groups, joint boards and outside bodies. 2. Recommendations 2.1 It is recommended that the Council nominates elected members to fill the various vacant positions listed in the appendix to this report. 3. Background 3.1 The Chief Executive has recently been notified of a number of resignations by individual members of the Council from positions on committees and other bodies. 3.2 Additionally following the Council’s decision to proceed with the Visitor Levy for visits to the Council area with effect from July 2027 there are vacancies of the Visitor Levy Advisory Forum for three elected members and it is suggested that these are filled by two Administration councillors and one opposition member. They will join the Forum comprising community representatives, tourist industry representatives and officers of the Council and Park Authority, to provide advice and representation on the possible spend and administration of the levy. As the Visitor Levy covers the whole of the Council area it is preferable that if possible members should be nominated from localities in the vicinity of each of the Vale of Leven, Dumbarton and Clydebank. 4. Main Issues 4.1 It is important that all vacancies are filled as soon as possible to ensure the effective running of the Council and associate bodies. 5. People Implications 5.1 There are no direct implications for employees of this Council. 6. Financial and Procurement Implications ITEM 18
