The report of the Director – Finance and Corporate Services is attached.

The Mayor reported an update to the report in relation to number 10, Rural Community Action for Nottinghamshire (RCAN). RCAN had informed the Council that it no longer had local authority representatives sitting on its Board of Directors, so there would therefore be no appointment to this group.

The Mayor advised that there were two contested positions for number 5, the East Midlands Airport Independent Consultative Committee and number 11, the Friends of Rushcliffe Country Park, which each had one seat, but two nominations for both.

The Leader and Portfolio Holder for Strategic and Borough-wide Leadership, Councillor Clarke MBE presented the report of the Director – Finance and Corporate Services setting out the appointments to Outside Bodies for the municipal year 2026/27 and confirmed the updates given by the Mayor and that recommendation c) related to RCAN would not be voted on.

The Leader moved that Council accept the nominations of the uncontested positions as one vote before moving on to consider the two contested positions.

The recommendation was seconded by Councillor Brennan.

Following the voting for the two contested positions, it was RESOLVED that the appointments to Outside Bodies for the municipal year 2026/27 be as follows:
