Agenda item

In accordance with the provisions of Section 16 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, to appoint Members to Committees for the Civic Year, in accordance with the wishes expressed by the Political Groups.

 

 

The Chairman of the Council presented the report which set out the wishes expressed by the political groups in respect of the appointment of Members to serve on each of the Council’s formal Committees for the 2024/25 Civic Year.

 

Noting the Opposition Group had one vacant seat on the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and the Lincolnshire Independent Group had one vacant seat on the Planning Committee, each were given the opportunity to state a nomination for their respective vacancies but declined to make a nomination.

 

The Leader of the Council advised the meeting there was one change he wished to make to his Group’s nominations since the report had been published, this being to replace Councillor Jeanette McGhee on the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, with Councillor Eve Bennett.

 

It was confirmed that Council did not need to vote on this matter as the seat belonged to the Group.

 

Noting a revision to the seating arrangements in the Chamber, and the verbal amendment made by the Leader to his committee allocations, the Leader of the Opposition questioned whether the political balance of the committees was in fact correct. 

 

The Monitoring Officer addressed the meeting and advised that a notification had been received that morning which may have an impact on the political balance of the Council. Given its timing this notification would be taken into regard and a report would be submitted to Full Council in June updating the political balance of the organisation and seeking to re-appoint the Committees as necessary. 

 

On that basis having been proposed and seconded it was

 

RESOLVED that in accordance with the provisions of section 16 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, and the wishes expressed by political groups, and updated verbally at the meeting, Members be appointed to serve on the Council’s Committees for the 2024/25 civic year as follows: -
