STATES OF JERSEY
JERSEY COMMUNITY RELATIONS TRUST: RE-APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE
Presented to the States on 23rd April 2012 by the Minister for Home Affairs
STATES GREFFE
2012 Price code: A R.51
2 REPORT
On 29th April 2009 Deputy S. Power of St. Brelade was appointed to the position of States appointed Trustee to the Jersey Community Relations Trust for a period of 3 years. That tenure is shortly due to expire.
Since the appointment of Deputy Power, the constitution of the Trust has been revised and now states that the Minister for Home Affairs, having given at least 15 days notice to the States of Jersey of his intention, shall appoint one Trustee, being a member of the States of Jersey, who is committed to the objectives of the Jersey Community Relations Trust. Trustees are now also ordinarily appointed for a period of 4 years. The Committee consists of a Chair, appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs; a States Member appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs and a further 5 Trustees, who are not States Members and who are appointed by the existing Trustees.
On 13th March 2012, the Minister for Home Affairs wrote to all States Members to give them the opportunity to express interest in becoming a Trustee of the Jersey Community Relations Trust. They were asked to notify the Minister if they wished to be considered for the role and to submit a written statement of a maximum of 500 words in support of their application, setting out their reasons for wishing to be appointed and why they support the aims of the Trust. The Appointments Commission were invited to be involved in the short listing and interview process.
Ultimately, the only States Member to express an interest in being a Trustee of the Trust and to provide a written statement was Deputy Power. The need for the Appointments Commission to be involved in the process therefore falls away.
Deputy Power has demonstrated his commitment to the objectives of the Trust and the Minister for Home Affairs therefore gives notice to the States of his intention to re- appoint Deputy Power as a Trustee to the Jersey Community Relations Trust for a period of 4 years or until such time as Deputy Power leaves the States, whichever shall be the shorter.
