Minutes:
A Member asked for an update in relation to filling the vacant positions on Pension Fund Committee. With regard to the active member vacancy Members were advised that two thirds of active members were employees within the Fund. This raised the issue of whether or not, as employees, they were able to participate in the work of the Committee. With regard to the other vacancies from Darlington Borough Council and Further Education Colleges, these organisations had been asked to nominate representatives but had not made any submissions to date.
Resolved:
That officers pursue the filling of the vacant positions and examine the legality of an employee of the Council sitting on the Committee as an active member representative.
