The Chief Executive presented his revised report number CEX377 which was circulated at the meeting following presentation to him of all groups on the Council and those members affiliated to those groups.  He stated he had been notified by Group Leaders about the preferences of their respective members for committee seats and accordingly circulated a paper at the meeting confirming the groups’ proposals.  The preferences of the Labour Group for the two places allocated to them were not yet known.

 

Councillor Selby stated it was the wish of his group to relinquish its allocated seat on the Development Control Committee.  This seat was then offered to the other groups.  It was proposed and seconded that the seat be given to Councillor Turner.  A further nomination for the seat to be given to Councillor Jock Kerr was made.  Members were asked to vote for one of the two candidates.  Councillor Turner received the greater number of votes.  A further vote on the remaining memberships was taken and carried.
