Appointment of Chair and Vice Chair

Minutes:

(A)       Appointment of Chair

 

In compliance with the Local Government Pensions Scheme (Governance) (Scotland) Regulations 2015, the Chair of the Pension Board was rotated each year between the Union representatives and the employer representatives.  Councillor William Howatson had been appointed as Chair for 2016/17, and so a member from the Union representatives was required to be appointed as Chair for the 2017/18 period.

 

It was therefore proposed that Mr Alan Walker be appointed to the role of Chair, and this was unanimously agreed by those present. 

 

The Board resolved:-

to appoint Mr Walker to the role of Chair to the Pension Board.

 

 

 

(B)       Appointment of Vice Chair

 

Ms Colliss advised members that the next task for the Board was to appoint a Vice Chair, this time from the employer representatives.  It was proposed that Ms Marie Hart be appointed as Vice Chair, and this was unanimously agreed by the members present.

 

The Board resolved:-

to appoint Ms Hart to the role of Vice Chair to the Pension Board.
