Agenda item

Report of the Leader of the Council (Councillor P. Dowd) on the size, composition and portfolios of the Cabinet and the appointment of the Deputy Executive Leader and Deputy Leader.

The Council considered the report of the Leader of the Council on the proposed membership of the Cabinet and their Portfolios, and the appointment of the Spokespersons, Deputy Executive Leader and Deputy Leader.

 

The Mayor reported that there was a typographical error in the report in that the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for the Cabinet Member - Older People and Health should read Councillor Rimmer and the substitute Member is Councillor McGuire.  Councillors Cuthbertson and McIvor should be deleted for that Cabinet Portfolio.

 

It was moved by Councillor P. Dowd, seconded by Councillor Maher and

 

RESOLVED:  That

 

(1)      Councillor Robertson as Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, (the second largest political group on the Council) be appointed as the Deputy Executive Leader for a four year term of office or until such time as his term of office expires;

 

(2)      Councillor Parry as the Leader of the Conservative Group, (the third largest political group on the Council) be appointed as the Deputy Leader for a four year term of office or until such time as her term of office expires; and

 

(3)      it be noted that the Cabinet and Spokespersons comprising the Members indicated below be appointed for a four year term of office or until such time as their term of office expires.
