CM 23/23
A paper was
considered that set out details of those Outside Bodies to which
the Council appointed representatives and included a list of
nominations for representation on these Outside Bodies.
Members proceeded
to consider the appointments to each of these Bodies and it was
then necessary for a vote to be undertaken for the two positions on
the ‘Dartmoor National Park Authority: Joint Advisory
Committee on Housing’ Outside Body for which three
nominations had been received (Cllrs J Elliott, C Mott and M
Renders).
In light of there
being two positions available, the Mayor exercised her discretion
to call for a recorded vote on these appointments, with the vote
breakdown being as follows:
Cllr Elliott: 19 votes
– Cllrs Bridgewater; Calder; Cheadle; Cunningham; Daniel;
Dexter; Elliott; Ewings; Guthrie;
Johnson; Leech; Mann; Moody; Oxborough;
Renders; Saxby; Squire; Vachon and
West;
Cllr Mott: 11 votes
– Cllrs Ball; Blackman; Casbolt;
Edmonds; Jory; Kimber; Mott; Sellis;
Southcott; Wakeham and
Watts;
Cllr Renders: 22 votes
– Cllrs Bridgewater; Calder; Cheadle; Cunningham; Daniel;
Dexter; Elliott; Ewings; Guthrie;
Johnson; Leech; Mann; Moody; Mott; Oxborough; Renders; Saxby; Sellis; Southcott; Squire; Vachon and West;
Absent: 1 – Cllr

and it was therefore declared
CARRIED that Cllrs J Elliott and M Renders be
appointed to the two positions on the Dartmoor National Park
Authority: Joint Advisory Committee on Housing.
Two nominations (Cllr P Kimber
and N Viney) had been received for the
position on the
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Partnership Outside Body.
When
put to the vote, it was declared CARRIED that Cllr
P Kimber be appointed to the position on the UNESCO Biosphere
Reserve Partnership Outside Body.
It was then
proposed by Cllr M Ewings, seconded by
Cllr M Renders and upon being submitted to the Meeting was declared
to be CARRIED and ”RESOLVED
1.

Outside Bodies as presented to the meeting;
2.
