Agenda item

The Council considered a report of the Corporate Director of Resources which sought confirmation of the criteria for the conferment of the title of Honorary Alderman upon retiring Members to identify those upon whom the title of Honorary Alderman should be conferred (for copy see file of Minutes).

Moved by Councillor Henig, Seconded by Councillor Hopgood and

Resolved:

That the Council:

(a)  acknowledge the criteria for conferring the title of Honorary Alderman is sixteen years’ service, or four full terms;

(b)  confer the title of Honorary Alderman on those past Members who meet the sixteen years’ service criterion including, on this occasion, because of circumstances set out in the report, those two Members that have served four full terms but whose service falls slightly short of sixteen years as a result of the 2011 election date having been delayed by a month.
