Issue - meetings

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer – Finance which sought approval for nomination of an Elected Member or Fund Officer representative to the Local Authority Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF) on behalf of the North East Scotland Pension Fund.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)      agree whether to nominate a Member of the Committee or a Fund Officer to the LAPFF Executive;

(b)      that if a nomination is to be made, consider those nominated and agree a nominee; and

(c)      if the nominee is accepted by LAPFF, approve the detailed travel costs associated with the membership of the Executive.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to delegate authority to the Chief Officer – Finance, in consultation with the Pension Fund Manager and Investment Manager to nominate an appropriate officer as the Pension Committee nomination to the LAPFF Executive;

(ii)       in the event that the nomination to the LAPFF Executive was successful, to approve the detailed travel costs associated with the membership of the Executive; and

(iii)      to note that officers could bring reports to Committee in future to advise of any updates from meetings of the LAPFF Executive.
