The Monitoring Officer will introduce this item.

The Group is asked to note that David Edwards will retire from Oxford City Council on 31 March 2017 and consequently will resign as a Director of Oxford City Housing Limited with effect from that date.

It is proposed that Peter Sloman should be appointed as a Director of Oxford City Housing Limited with effect from 1 April 2017.

No other changes to the Board of Directors are proposed, the other two Directors to be re-appointed.

Recommendation:

That the Housing Companies Shareholder Group resolves to approve the appointment of Peter Sloman as a Director of Oxford City Housing Limited with effect from 1 April 2017 and to re-appoint Jackie Yates and Stephen Clarke as Directors of Oxford City Housing Limited with effect from 1 April 2017.

The Monitoring Officer introduced this item.  He reported a late amendment to the published agenda.  He explained that in light of the recent resignation of Peter Sloman, it was now proposed that Fiona Piercy should be appointed as a Director of Oxford City Housing Limited, as a replacement for David Edwards, with effect from 1 April 2017.

The Shareholder Group noted Fiona Piercy’s credentials and experience.

The Monitoring Officer confirmed that there would be no conflict of interest in Fiona Piercy serving as a Director for both OXWED and OCHL. Indeed there were similar examples of symbioses in the Council.

The Shareholder Group resolved to approve:

1.    the appointment of Fiona Piercy as a Director of Oxford City Housing Limited with effect from 1 April 2017; and

2.    the re-appointment of Jackie Yates and Stephen Clarke as Directors of Oxford City Housing Limited with effect from 1 April 2017.
