(1)  
Appointed Nicholas
Moss OBE as Independent Person, Patrick Hodson as Reserve
Independent Person, and Stephen Tant as Reserve Independent
Person.
 

(2)  
Delegated to the Monitoring Officer in
consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of Standards Committee,
the decision (if the current Independent Person decides within term
to resign/ unable to act/ no longer qualifies), to appoint one of
the existing Reserve Independent Persons as the Independent Person
and/ or to undertake any further recruitment, as may be
required.
 
REASON FOR
DECISIONS: To ensure that the Council’s Standards
processes can operate in accordance with legislative requirements
if one or both IP and Reserve IPs are unable to advise on a matter.
This should also allow for a degree of succession planning/
training whilst experienced persons are in place.
