Appointment to Membership of Committees of the Council - continued
To appoint Members to serve on the Appointments Board, as required by Procedure Rule 15. (Please see Agenda Item 14 for report of the Chief Executive on the nominations from the Leaders of all Groups to the places allocated to their respective Groups.)
Minutes:
Referring back to Agenda Item 14 - Appointment of Membership of Committees of the Council, the Chairperson advised that the Council needed to confirm the membership of the Appointments Board (the Board), now that Committee Chairpersons had been appointed.
The Chief Executive advised the Board membership consisted of six Members politically balanced and therefore a nominee from the Conservative Group along with a non-aligned Member was required. He then asked Councillor J C Stilts, Leader of the Maldon District Support Group to confirm if she would be taking up a place as Opposition Leader or Councillor W Stamp as Chairperson of the Performance, Governance and Audit Committee. Councillor Stilts confirmed that Councillor Stamp would be sitting on the Board.
The Leader of the Council then nominated Councillor A M Lay be appointed to the Board as the non-aligned Member. This was duly seconded and agreed.
Councillor S J N Morgan nominated Councillor M E Thompson be appointed to the Board as the other Conservative Group Member. This was duly agreed.
RESOLVED that the Membership of the Appointments Board for the ensuing Municipal year be agreed as follows:
Leader of the Council (Councillor R H Siddall)
Leader of the Opposition (Councillor S J N Morgan)
Chairperson of the Strategy and Resources Committee (Councillor J Driver)
Chairperson of the Performance, Governance and Audit Committee (Councillor W Stamp, CC)
Councillors A M Lay and M E Thompson
