Urgent Item of Business - Appointment of Vice-chairman of Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny Committee
Minutes:
The Mayor reported that, following the sad passing away of Councillor Gilliland, in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 17, Council needed to elect a Vice-Chairman of the Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny Committee. This item was not included on the agenda for the Council meeting, due to the timescale for the publication of the agenda papers and in light of the timing of the very recent funeral. The Mayor stated that he was, therefore, content to deal with this as an urgent item, under the provisions of Section 100(B)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, by reason of the special circumstances as indicated.
It was moved and seconded and :-
RESOLVED
That Councillor Andrew Martin be appointed as Vice Chairman of the Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny Committee.
