To receive a report from the Corporate Director Finance & Resources detailing a change in membership on the West London Economic Prosperity Board (on which Brent participates as a member) along with associated changes to the Boards Function & Procedure Rules, as referred to within the Terms of Reference included within Brent’s Constitution

As the final item of business on the agenda, the Mayor then invited Councillor Muhammed Butt, as Leader of the Council, to introduce a report from the Corporate Director of Finance and Resources who advised that the report detailed a change in membership on the West London Economic Prosperity Board (on which Brent was a member) relating to the addition of Hillingdon, along with associated changes to the Boards Functions & Procedure Rules, as referred to with the Terms of Reference included within Part 4 of the Constitution.

The Mayor thanked Councillor Muhammed Butt for introducing the report and as no other members indicated they wished to speak and no need was indicated to exercise a right of reply, then moved to put the recommendations in the report to the vote which were declared CARRIED.

Council therefore unanimously RESOLVED:

(1)    To note the change in membership on the West London Economic Prosperity Board following the admittance of the London Borough of Hillingdon as a member and endorse the subsequent update and revision of the Function & Procedure Rules, which govern operation of the Board, as detailed in Appendix A.

(2)    To note that, to the extent that the changes related to executive functions of the Council, they had been approved by the Leader.
