Report of Urgent Action Taken: Reappointment of Co-opted Member

The Court received a report advising of action taken under urgency procedures in relation to the appointment of Judith Barnes as a co-opted Member of the Standards Committee. This decision was taken in view of the pressing need to ensure that an adequate number of co-opted Members were available to be present at meetings of the Standards Committee and its sub-committees. This matter was particularly relevant given the requirement to schedule two Assessment Sub-Committee meetings, both of which required a co-opted Member to make them quorate.

The Town Clerk had consequently approved the Standards Committee’s request for an urgent decision in relation to the formal re-appointment of Judith Barnes as a co-opted member of the Standards Committee for a second and final four-year term of office (expiring February 2022) under Standing Order No. 19.  

Resolved – That the report be received.
