The Council considered the report of the Chief Executive, circulated prior to the meeting.
Councillor R G Boyce raised a point of order in relation to Procedure Rule 1 (7(j)), (8) and (9). He referred to understanding that it was to be proposed that appointment of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Joint Standards Committee would not take place at this meeting. Having spoken to the Chairman of the Council nd the Monitoring Officer, Councillor Boyce felt that the Council, in not making these appointments, would be in conflict of its standing orders. Councillor Boyce felt that the current Membership should remain in place until the next Statutory Annual meeting of the Council.
In response the Interim Monitoring Officer advised that the Local Government Act 1972 overrode the Council’s constitution and an error when issuing the summons letter for this meeting meant that the appointment could not take place. Members agreed that in accordance with the advice from the Monitoring Officer, appointment of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Joint Standards Committee would take place at its first meeting.
