Report from the Leader of the Council

15.2           The Leader of the Council indicated that, as part of the Constitution, he was required to report at the Annual Council meeting on the number of Lead Members and the scope of their Portfolios for the coming year, the number of specialist Members and the specialist areas to be covered, and any other matters in relation to the political management of the Council.  He proposed that the number of Lead Members remain at nine with a Support Member for each; the Members to take on each Portfolio would be confirmed at the Executive Committee on 6 June 2018 as set out within the Constitution.  In respect of the Economic Development/Promotion Portfolio, he intended to remain as the Portfolio Holder with the addition of the Council Plan, External Relations and Communication, and Community Leader for Emergencies from the previously named ‘Leader of the Council’ portfolio.  He would be proposing that the remainder of the Portfolio previously taken by the Leader of the Council be renamed ‘Corporate Governance’.  He did not intend to nominate any Member Specialists, as had been the case during the current Council term.  He proposed that the Membership of Working Groups, Boards and Panels remain unchanged in line with normal practice; should any changes be necessary due to resignations etc. the Borough Solicitor, in consultation with himself and the Deputy Leader, would deal with this in accordance with the delegated powers set out within the Constitution.  Accordingly, it was

RESOLVED          1. That the Leader’s report be NOTED.

2. That the Economic Development/Promotion Portfolio be amended to include the Council Plan, External Relations and Communication, and Community Leader for Emergencies from the previously named ‘Leader of the Council’ Portfolio and the remainder of that Portfolio be renamed ‘Corporate Governance’.
