Report of the Town Clerk (copy attached).

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk relative to the appointment of four representatives on the Gresham College Council for the next four years.

The Town Clerk reported that that five Members had expressed a willingness to serve and that, with only four places available, a ballot would therefore be necessary.

A ballot having been taken, votes were cast as follows:-

            Deputy John Barker                2 votes

            Deputy Anthony Eskenzi         5 votes

            Deputy Robin Eve                   5 votes

            Tom Hoffman                          6 votes

            Simon Duckworth                    5 votes

RESOLVED – That, Deputy Anthony Eskenzi, Deputy Robin Eve, Tom Hoffman (Chairman) and Simon Duckworth (Deputy Chairman) be appointed onto the Gresham College Council for four-year terms which will commence on 31 August 2012 and expire in August 2016. It was also approved that the City’s ‘Voting Member’ should be its Chairman or, in the Chairman’s absence, the Deputy Chairman or such other Member of the City Side as may be nominated by the Committee.
