Additional documents:
Decision:
(a) That Council notes the update on the current recruitment process; and
(b) That Council reappoints the Lay Member for another 12 months
Minutes:
In presenting the report the Chief Officer (Governance) clarified that following the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 the Council was required to increase the number of lay members on its Governance and Audit Committee. This was to ensure lay members made up one third of the Committee. An overview of the recruitment process and closing date for applications was provided.
As the term of office of one of the existing lay members was due to expire in May 2022, it was proposed that their term be extended for a period of 12 months to allow for the current recruitment process and for the new Council to consider whether to re-appoint that person for a further term of office.
The recommendations in the report were moved by Councillor Chris Dolphin and seconded by Councillor Patrick Heesom.
RESOLVED:
(a) That Council notes the update on the current recruitment process; and
(b) That Council reappoints the Lay Member for another 12 months
