The Town Clerk submits a report informing the Cabinet of expiry of six months since the last attendance by Councillor Vaz at a Council, Committee or Sub-Committee meeting.  The Cabinet is asked to recommend to Council that, having regard to the extenuating circumstances, an extension of time be granted for Councillor Vaz and the position reviewed prior to the expiry of a further for months.

The Town Clerk submitted a report informing the Cabinet of the upcoming expiry of six months since the last attendance by Councillor Vaz at a Council, Committee or Sub-Committee meeting.  The Cabinet was therefore asked to recommend to Council that, having regard to the extenuating circumstances, an extension of time be granted for Councillor Vaz and the position reviewed prior to the expiry of a further four months.  It was noted that if Councillor Vaz did attend a meeting between this Cabinet and the Council meeting then the report could be withdrawn.

RESOLVED:

(1)that having regard to the extenuating circumstances, Council be recommended to grant an extension of time for Councillor Vaz unless she attended an appropriate meeting before Council met; and

(2)that if such an extension is granted, it be recommended that the position be reviewed prior to the expiry of a further four months.
