The Council received a schedule of nominations for:

 

(a)       the appointment of the Executive Leader and other Members for the Executive Cabinet for the ensuing Municipal Year;

(b)       the appointment of the Lead Members for the ensuing Municipal Year;

(c)        the appointment of the members of the various Committees, Sub-Committees and other bodies of the Council in accordance with the political balance rules, together with the respective Chairs and Vice-Chairs for the ensuing Municipal Year.

 

A note listing the prospective Shadow Portfolio Holders was also circulated at the meeting.

 

A report of the Chief Executive previously circulated to Members had drawn attention to the transfer of responsibility for the Licensing function from the Resources portfolio to the Neighbourhoods portfolio, following the transfer of the Licensing Section to the Neighbourhoods Directorate.

 

The Executive Leader also referred to other proposed changes to the composition of the Executive Cabinet and other Council bodies, including plans to place the Chairship of the Equality Forum under the Executive Member (Policy and Performance), and thanked the Members who had previously held those positions.

 

It was moved by Councillor Peter Goldsworthy and seconded by Councillor Pat Case that the proposals for the appointment of the Executive Cabinet, Lead Members, Committees and other bodies of the Council, as now presented, be approved.

 

An amendment was moved by Councillor Dennis Edgerley and seconded by Councillor Adrian Lowe that, with the consent of Councillor Hasina Khan, Councillor Catherine Hoyle replaces Councillor Khan on the membership of the Equality Forum.  If approved, this would also entail a change to the Shadow Portfolio Position for Equalities.

 

Councillor Goldsworthy accepted the amendment and it was:

 

RESOLVED – (1)    That Councillor Peter Goldsworthy be appointed Executive Leader of the Council.

(2)       That Councillor Pat Case be appointed Deputy Leader of the Council.
