Every council does this and its wasted time. The council terms of |
| 11 |
reference/charter/GLEP 39 needs to be changed to provide for council |
| 12 |
continuity. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
e.g. Two year terms and elections every year for half the seats. |
| 15 |
This avoids the two 'lost' months every year when the old council |
| 16 |
doesn't want to make any decisions because its their last meeting and |
| 17 |
the new council goes into 'headless chicken' mode at its first |
| 18 |
meeting. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Continuity of some council members over elections would avoid that lost |
| 21 |
time. |

The council should elect a chairman from their members and appoint a |
| 38 |
secretary. tanderson helping out in that role seemed (from the outside) |
| 39 |
to work well. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The chairman will avoid the non productive time during the meetings |
| 42 |
determining who will chair the next meeting. |
