Issue - meetings

Councillor Colville informed the group that the Council had yesterday confirmed that there would continue to be Local Area Community Planning Groups (LACPGs) although it was now understood these would be renamed Area Community Planning Groups (ACPG).  There was no indication as yet as to whether the KIWG would become the ACPG and therefore he advised the Group that advice he had obtained was that he should retain the chair on an interim basis until the Community Planning Partnership had determined how Area Community Planning would be delivered and whether they wished to put in place mechanisms to appoint a chairperson.   Councillor Colville put this suggestion to the Group for debate. 

Maryanne Stewart proposed that Councillor Colville remain as the Kintyre Initiative Working Group Chair for as long as it remains in its current format and Susan Paterson seconded this.  The Group agreed the nomination and Councillor Colville was duly elected as the Chair.  Councillor Colville accepted the nomination as Chair.

Councillor Colville proposed that Jim Martin be nominated as the Kintyre Initiative Working Group Vice-Chair, on the same basis as his own appointment and Councillor Horn seconded this proposal.  The Group agreed the nomination and Jim Martin was duly elected as the Vice-Chair.  Jim Martin accepted the nomination as Vice-Chair.
