In relation to the draft unrestricted minutes of the Extraordinary Council Meeting on 20th December 2012, Councillor Motin Uz-Zaman stated that the text under Agenda Item 1 (Apologies for Absence) from “Procedural Motion” to “7.45 p.m.” should be replaced by the following:-
“Councillor Alibor Choudhury proposed and Councillor Rania Khan seconded that the Council appoint Aman Dalvi to the position of Chief Executive.
Councillor Motin Uz-Zaman moved and Councillor Shiria Khatun seconded a procedural motion:- ‘That under Procedure Rule 14.1.12 the meeting be adjourned for a period of half an hour’. The procedural motion was put to the vote and was agreed.
Accordingly the meeting adjourned at 7.15 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 7.45 p.m.
The Service Head, Democratic Services advised the Council that the motion could not be voted on immediately but would lay on the table to be considered at the beginning of the debate on the relevant agenda item (item 5).
A number of councillors expressed concern that the motion which was proposed did not relate to a matter on the agenda of this part of the meeting, could not be moved under ‘Apologies for Absence’, and should be treated as an emergency motion. The Service Head, Democratic Services advised the Council that this was not the case and allowed the motion.”
In relation to the draft unrestricted minutes of the Ordinary Council Meeting on 28th November 2012, Councillor Gulam Robbani stated that at Agenda Item 6 (‘Public Questions’), the supplementary question from Mr Shamsur Rahman at question 6.4 should read:- “Will the Mayor ask the East End Homes Board to commission an independent review of service charges?”
