Resolution number AE/2017/169
MOVED
by Member M Watson, seconded by Member J Rose:
That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

boards as part of the Governance Framework Review.

its position resolved at its 23 August 2017 meeting that the term
‘Local Councillor’ is the preferred naming convention for Local
Board Members as articulated in resolution number AE/2017/116.
c) requests
the Governing Body rescind resolution number GB/2017/122 to take account and
in recognition of the views of the majority of local boards that indicated a
preference for the title of ‘Councillor’ be applied to local board
members.
d) requires
that, following the motion being rescinded, all elected members be called
‘Councillor’, with a prefix of Local or Ward/Regional, as
appropriate.
e) requests
staff to forward this Notice of Motion and subsequent resolutions to the Mayor
and the Governing Body for its consideration at the 11 December 2017 meeting.
f) requests
staff to forward this Notice of Motion and subsequent resolutions to all
