Decision details

The Assistant Director – Governance & Monitoring Officer presented a report which sought the Committee’s approval, following a recent recruitment process, to co-opt two new Independent Members to the Audit and Governance Committee.

The Chairman provided an update on the interview process and confirmed good competency of both candidates who diligently answered rigid questions and showed their interest to be take part in the work of the Committee. Members noted that both candidates came from different backgrounds and were therefore able to bring a more diverse skillset to the role.

The recommendation was moved by Councillor David Scoot and seconded by Councillor James Cantwell.

RESOLVED:

That Mr Gideon Hall and Mr Adam Cartwright be Co-opted to the Audit and Governance Committee as Independent Members for a four-year term subject to a review at the end of year one.
