Congratulations to our 8 newly-elected Strathdearn councillors: Charlie Cameron, Davie Cameron, Lee-Anne Cornwall, Jimmy Duncan, Mandy Ferguson, Martin Hughes, Carol James, and Stephen Smith.
The date of their first meeting will be announced by the Highland Council Returning Officer in accordance with the rules governing community councils:
“7.1 The first meeting of a Community Council following a Community Council election,
will be called by the Returning Officer appointed by The Highland Council and will
take place within 21 days of the date of the election, or as soon as practicable
thereafter. The business of the meeting following the first election under this
Scheme will include the adoption of the Constitution and Standing Orders set out
at Appendices 3 and 4 of this Scheme. Any Community Council’s constitution
which is not exactly in terms of Appendix 3 is required to be approved by Highland
Council. Any changes to the constitution of a Community Council must be
approved by The Highland Council.
Thereafter, the first meeting following each election, and each interim election, will
include the appointment of office bearers and any outstanding business matters
from the outgoing Community Council.”
