To agree to waive Standing Order No. 29(2) to extend the current Chairman’s term by one year.

CAPITAL BUILDINGS COMMITTEE

(Sir Michael Snyder)

Extension of Current Chairman’s Term

In accordance with Standing Order 29(2) the Chairman of Capital Buildings Committee was subject to annual re-election and was limited to serving a maximum term of three years. The current Chairman was now in his third and final year and was not currently eligible to seek election for a fourth year in this position.

However, the Capital Buildings Committee was currently at a critical stage in overseeing the range of projects it is responsible for delivering. Following a recommendation of the Chair of the Policy and Resources Committee, the Committee had unanimously agreed that maintaining continuity of leadership would be crucial in guiding the work of the Committee during the next year. It was, therefore, recommended that Standing Order 29(2) be waived in respect of this Committee for the coming year, to allow for a fourth year of service.

Resolved - That Standing Order No. 29(2) be waived in respect of the Chairmanship of the Capital Buildings Committee for a period of one year, to allow the current Chairman to be eligible to seek a fourth year as Chairman.
