Extraordinary, The Council - Monday, 20th May, 2024 6.00 pm
May 20, 2024 View on council website Watch video of meetingSummary
The council held an extraordinary meeting to elect a new leader. Councillor Tony Cox stepped down, and Councillor Daniel Cowan was elected as the new leader.
The meeting began with apologies for absence, noting that Councillor Martin Terri was absent. The chair reminded everyone of the standards of behaviour and the importance of respect and courtesy, in line with the council's member code of conduct.
The Chief Executive explained the motion for the evening, which had three elements. However, due to Councillor Tony Cox stepping down, parts one and two of the motion were no longer necessary. The meeting proceeded directly to part three, the election of a new leader.
Councillor Daniel Cowan was nominated and seconded, as was Councillor Tony Cox. A vote was conducted, and the results were 28 votes for Councillor Cowan and 19 votes for Councillor Cox. Councillor Daniel Cowan was declared the new leader of the council.
