Minutes:
Members
noted that the Local Authority was governed by the Standards Committees (Wales)
Regulations 2001 (as amended in 2006) and these would need to be amended by
Welsh Government should a 5 year term of Office be introduced for County
Borough/Town Community Councillors.
RESOLVED: 1. That
the Community Council Member and any substitute be appointed for no more than
four years, or until the next election of the Community Council of which they are
a Member whichever is the shorter, subject to reappointment for one further
consecutive term;
2. That Independent Members be
appointed for not less than four years, and no more than six years subject to
one further consecutive term which cannot then exceed four years;
3. That the Chairman and Vice
Chairman of the Standards Committee be elected by the Members of that Committee
from its Independent Members for a period of not less than four years and no
more than six years, or until the term of office of that person comes to an
end, this would allow the Chairman or Vice Chairman to serve a second term as
an Independent Member.
