Before the meeting, the Leaders of each of the Council’s political groups discussed nominations for representatives on outside bodies from within their group, which were compiled and a schedule of these was circulated before the start of the meeting. In the meeting a number of small clarifications were made and the nominations for all outside bodies with the exception of the Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board were proposed, seconded and, on being put to the vote, agreed.

 

The Council was entitled to three seats on the Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board and the following councillors were nominated: Councillor Nick Craft, Councillor Ian Stokes, Councillor Mrs Rosemary Kaberry-Brown and Councillor Bob Sampson. As the number of nominations for the Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board exceeded the number of representatives required, each nominee was invited to give a brief explanation of why they were interested in the body and the experience that they could provide.

 

It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the Council suspend the standing orders requiring the use of the electronic voting system to enable the use of a paper ballot to identify the three nominees that would be put forward.

 

15:00 to 15:13 – the meeting was adjourned

 

Following the adjournment, paper slips were circulated and members were asked to submit the names of the Councillors they wished to nominate for the three vacancies on the Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board. Of the four candidates, Councillors Craft, Ian Stokes and Mrs Kaberry-Brown received the most votes. A vote (using the electronic voting system) was taken to confirm the appointment of the three Councillors to the drainage board.
