The Committee had before them a report of the Town Clerk on Co-opted Members of the Committee.

 

The following matters were raised:-

 

·         Members were of the view that the reappointment of Judith Barnes should be progressed under the urgency provisions of Standing Order Nos. 41(a) and 19.

 

·         The option of different future terms of office for the reappointment of the co-optees whose terms of office expire in December 2018 to be considered (should the co-optees wish to be reappointed) in order that terms of office do not expire at the same time.

 

·         The Town Clerk to explore the possibility of the appointment of former Common Councilman Nigel Challis as a co-opted member to fill the outstanding long-standing vacancy, subject to confirmation of his wish to be appointed to that role and eligibility to serve in that capacity following previous membership of the Committee. It was noted that the Court of Common Council would have discretion to waive current rules regulating membership of the Committee if it considered appropriate to do so.    

 

The Committee asked the Town Clerk to look into these matters.
