The Authority considered a report of the Director of Resources in respect of a vacancy in the office having arisen to appoint a Chair of WYCA and review committee membership and committee chairing arrangements.

Councillor Box advised members that he was resigning as Chair of the Authority because he had been appointed to the national role of chairing the Key Cities Group.  He would however remain a member of the Authority. 

Members were asked to consider nominations for the position of Chair of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe was proposed and seconded.

In reviewing committee membership, it was agreed that Councillor Box be appointed as Chair of the West Yorkshire & York Investment Committee and Councillor David Sheard as Chair of the Steering Inclusive Growth Group.
