The Head of Democratic Services submitted a report which sought to nominate the Lord Mayor Elect and Deputy Lord Mayor Elect 2018-2019 in order to enable the arrangements for the Inauguration of the Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor event to proceed.

He stated that Councillor P Lloyd was scheduled to be considered for the role of Deputy Lord Mayor 2019-2020 in line with the Seniority List; however he asked for his Term of Office to be deferred for an unspecified length of time.

This deferment led to a situation where four Councillors all had exactly the same length of service.  In line with the Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor Protocol, the Head of Democratic Services drew lots on 20 September 2018 in order to establish the order of the Term of Office of the four Councillors.  The outcome of the draw being: Councillors M C Child, M H Jones, A M Day and L G Thomas.

Resolved that:

1)       Councillor Peter M Black be nominated as Lord Mayor Elect 2019-2020;

2)       Councillor Mark C Child be nominated as Deputy Lord Mayor Elect 2019-2020.
