Agenda

To confirm the minutes of the meeting held on 21 December 2017 (copy attached).

Part 1 - Public

Report No: MAC/SE/18/001

Report No: MAC/SE/18/002

To consider whether the press and public should be excluded during the consideration of the following items because it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present during the items, there would be disclosure to them of exempt categories of information as prescribed in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and indicated against each item and, in all circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Part 2 - Exempt

The Committee will receive a verbal report in respect of this item.

On 21 December 2017, the Committee resolved:

That

(1)     Councillor Margaret Marks be nominated for election as Mayor for 2018/2019;

(2)     consideration of nominations for the Office of Deputy Mayor for 2018/2019, be deferred until the next meeting of the Committee arranged for 21 March 2018; and

(3)     once both nominations are determined by the Committee and ratified by Council on 24 April 2018, these be formally submitted to the Annual Meeting of the Council on 17 May 2018, subject to them formally consenting to such nominations.

In light of (2) above, the Committee is now asked to determine a nomination for the office of Deputy Mayor of the Borough for 2018/2019 for formal submission to the Annual Meeting of the Council on 17 May 2018.

It should be noted that, subject to the creation of West Suffolk Council in April 2019, the councillor nominated for Deputy Mayor is unable to be nominated for the office of Mayor of St Edmundsbury in 2019/2020.
