Nominations for Honorary Awards Report of the Director of Legal & Democratic Services (to follow) Minutes: The Committee considered two reports from the Director of Legal & Democratic Services relating to the Honorary Alderman/Alderwoman nominations received from the Group Leaders and the nomination of the Leader of the Council, supported by the other Group Leaders, to confer the Freedom of the Borough on the retiring Chief Executive and Town Clerk.
The Committee noted that one of the nominees for Honorary Alderman/Alderwoman had served 14 years one year short of the normal requirement of at least 15 years’ service. However, the Committee deemed it appropriate that on this occasion given his eminent service to the Council it be recommended to confer the title of Honorary Alderman on this past Member.
Resolved:
1. That, pursuant to Section 249(1) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Council be recommended to confer the title of Honorary Alderman/Honorary Alderwoman on the three past Members as detailed in the report and that a Special Meeting of the Council be convened on Thursday 20th April 2017, immediately prior to the ordinary Council on that same day, to confer the honours.
2. That pursuant to Section 249(5) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Council be recommended to confer the Freedom of the Borough of Southend-on-Sea on Mr Rob Tinlin in recognition of the eminent and outstanding public service he has rendered to the Borough of Southend-on-Sea as its Chief Executive and Town Clerk from 2005 to 2017. Further that a Special meeting of the Council be convened on 23rd February 2017, immediately prior to the ordinary Council meeting taking place on that same day, to confer the honour and to present Mr Tinlin with a ceremonial scroll. |
