Election of Chairman

Meeting of Standards Committee, Friday, 8th February, 2013 11.00 am (Item 3.)

Pursuant to Standing Order No. 29, the Committee is asked to elect a Chairman.

Minutes:

In light of the Ward elections on 21^st March 2013 and the opportunity to appoint to the existing Court of Common Council and Co-opted Member vacancies thereafter, Members discussed the deferral of the election of a Chairman to the next meeting of the Committee in May 2013.

In response to a query regarding future continuity of the Committee’s Chairman, it was noted that whilst this could not be guaranteed, it was hoped that the future Chairman would retain the position for some time.

RESOLVED: That-

(i) the election of Chairman be deferred to the May meeting of the Standards Committee following the appointment to the vacancy for a Common Councilman and, subject to timescales, the appointment of a Co-opted Member; and

(ii) in accordance with the 2011 Governance Review, those Members of the Committee wishing to stand as Chairman be invited to submit a 300 word CV for consideration by the Committee.
