Agenda item 4A

Membership of the Executive – Portfolio and Portfolio Holders

 

The following item was considered by the Executive under Rule 16 Access to Information Procedure Rules because:

 

1.                  The need to take decisions in relation to the allocation of Portfolios and to make recommendations in relation to the form and composition of the Executive had arisen due to Councillor Fox, the current Portfolio Holder for Transport, having served notice that he no longer wishes to be treated as a Member of the Island First Group. 

 

2.                  The significance of the Portfolio is such that it was impractical to defer a decision about who is to carry responsibility for the Portfolio until a future meeting of the Executive.  The Chairman of the relevant Select Committee and the Chairman of the Council have both agreed that the decision cannot reasonably be deferred.

 

Decision reference

03/05

Decision taken

(a)     That Councillor Harris take responsibility for the Portfolio for Transport with immediate effect.

 

(b)     To recommend to Full Council that Councillor Fox is removed from the Executive and at least for the rest of this Council, the size of the Executive is reduced from 10 to 9.

 

Reason

The current Portfolio Holder for Transport had served notice that he no longer wished to be treated as a Member of the Island First Group

Additional reasons

None

Options considered and rejected

(a)     To retain the existing Portfolios and Portfolio Holders.

 

(b)     Rearrange responsibility for individual functions within existing Portfolios.
