Issue - meetings

Melissa Stewart advised that following the MAKI Area Committee meeting held on 2 October 2013, it had been agreed that nominations for Chair of the KIWG would be open to the 6 local Ward 1 and Ward 2 Members and that determination of these appointments had been referred back to the KIWG.

Susan Paterson proposed that Councillor Colville be re-appointed as Chair and this was seconded by Jane Mayo. No other nominations were forthcoming.  Councillor Colville accepted the nomination as Chair of the Group and was so appointed.

Councillor Colville proposed that Jim Martin retain the position of Vice-Chair and this was seconded by Ann Gallacher.  In the absence of Jim Martin at the meeting, Councillor Colville accepted the Vice-Chair on his behalf.

This item would continue and be considered as part of the emerging Political Management arrangements with the Group being updated in due course.

The KIWG agreed to defer the appointment of a new Chair and Vice-Chair until the next meeting.
