To seek approval for the re-appointment of the Independent Person (report of the Executive Manager – Governance (Deputy Monitoring Officer) enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Executive Manager – Governance (Deputy Monitoring Officer) which sought approval of the re-appointment for  the Independent Person.

The Executive Manager – Governance introduced the report, stating that under the Localism Act, the Council was required to appoint an independent person. It was suggested that the current Independent Person be reinstated for a year. The shorter appointment was as a result of anticipated changes which would require shorter, fixed-term appointments for Independent Persons.

DECISION:

That the current Independent Person, Mr Tony Wicks, is reappointed for the period 16 May 2019 until the annual Council meeting on 13 May 2020.
