ELECTION OF THE VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL
Meeting: 29/06/2020 - Council (Item 6)
ELECTION OF THE VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL
The Chairman of the Council will invite nominations for the office of Vice-Chairman of the Council for the Municipal Year 2020/21.
Upon appointment, ordinarily the outgoing Vice-Chairman would invest the incoming Vice-Chairman with the Chain of Office. The Chairman of the Council would then invite the Vice-Chairman to take the Vice-Chairman’s Chair. In the event of the Vice-Chairman being re-elected, the Vice-Chairman would retain the Chain of Office and remain seated.
However, arrangements will be made for this at a later date due to current social distancing requirements.
The Vice- Chairman of the Council may make a short speech of acceptance of office.
