a) Robbie Erbmann (in his role as Assistant Director for Housing).

Reasons for the decision:

The replacement of one of the two Council appointees to the Board of the CBS is essential to ensure that the Council has two nominees on the Board of Directors of CBS which was created as a result of the Cabinet’s decision of 17 July 2018.

Alternative options considered:

Refusal or delay in nominating Board members:-

This option was rejected, because this would reduce the influence the Council has over the CBS, leaving only one Council representative on the Board.
