1. To
nominate Councillor Elwyn Jones (Independent Group) to represent the Council on
the Police and Crime Panel for the duration of this Council's term.
Minutes:
The Head of
Democracy Services submitted the report which asked the Council to
adopt the new seat
allocation after one member changed their political group and
following the recent
by-election. He noted that this had led to changes to seat
allocations on
Committees, namely the Plaid Cymru group gaining one seat on the
Communities Scrutiny
Committee, Care Scrutiny Committee, Democratic Services
Committee, Planning
Committee and SACRE. Reference was made to the full details
of the new seat
allocations which could be seen in appendix A of the report.
It was added that
Councillor Elwyn Jones had now been nominated to represent the
Council on the
Police and Crime Panel for the Council term. The Full Council was
asked to approve
that nomination, as well as adopt the seat allocation as noted in the
report. It was
confirmed that a single vote would be
held on both proposals.
There were no observations or questions.
