Before the meeting, the Leaders of each of the Council’s political groups prepared their nominations for committees and policy development groups based on the Council’s political balance. The nominations were compiled and a schedule of these was circulated before the start of the meeting.

 

The Leader of the Council proposed the nominations (both membership and chairmanships) for the Development Control Committee, Licensing Committee, Alcohol, Entertainment and Late Night Refreshment Licensing Committee, Governance and Audit Committee, Scrutiny Committee, Constitution Committee, the three policy development groups and the Chief Executive’s Remuneration and Appeal Panels as listed on the schedule. This was seconded and, on being put to the vote, agreed.

 

The Leader then asked the Council to vote on the proposition that political balance requirements should not be followed for making appointments to the Chief Executive’s Performance Panel as he proposed to nominate a member from the Group of Independents in place of a third Conservative Councillor, which was seconded. Members were reminded that in order to revoke the requirements for political balance, no Member could vote against the proposition. On being put to the vote, this was carried unanimously.

 

Finally, the Leader proposed the membership of the Chief Executive’s Performance Panel as presented on the sheet of nominations, which was seconded and, on being put to the vote, duly agreed.
