This document contains a review of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Board Member Fee Policy, which was put together by the Board's Resources Committee. The paper asks the board to approve a few things, including increasing the base level time input for board members from 30 to 32 days each year, removing top-up provisions for attending community council meetings, and agreeing to automatic fee deductions if attendance at board and committee meetings falls below 90% due to unauthorised absences. The document also asks the board to note proposed changes to time allocations for the Board Convener, Board Deputy Convener, and Planning Committee Convener roles, as well as proposed changes in the levels of fees paid to the holders of these roles and are awaiting approval from the Scottish government.
