Good afternoon, members. My name is Nikki Deol, I am the statutory
monitoring officer and I am attending in my capacity as providing legal and procedural
advice to this committee. At this moment in time we do not have a chair
or a vice chair but we do have a constituent member, namely Councillor Sarah Ferrobee available.
Ruth Davison (Director) West Yorkshire Combined Authority - 0:00:27
On that basis, members may wish to seek an appointment of a chair in the absence of a
chair and vice chair as is set out in our constitution.
Peter Glover, Officer (West Yorkshire Combined Authority) - 0:00:36
Ruth Davison (Director) West Yorkshire Combined Authority - 0:00:41
Could someone move a nomination please and second it and then we'll go to the
Ruth Davison (Director) West Yorkshire Combined Authority - 0:00:50
vote. I'll nominate Councillor Ferriby. I can second that. Can we go to the vote
please with a show of hands.
Ruth Davison (Director) West Yorkshire Combined Authority - 0:01:05
Okay, Councillor Ferabbee, could you take the seat, please?
Ruth Davison (Director) West Yorkshire Combined Authority - 0:01:13
So the next stage of this is given that we've delayed the start of this meeting slightly
in order for attendees to make their way to the combined authority.
Under the constitution there is a requirement for this meeting as it is legally constituted
to be coret and in our constitution for this particular climate, energy and environment
committee it states that three voting members which must include at least two combined authority
members should be present before the meeting can take place or consider matters that require
decisions.
At this moment in time we only have one authority member that is able to fulfil that requirement
and chair on that basis. It would not be appropriate to proceed in
a formal committee and you may wish to on those reasons close the meeting formally on
that basis and reconvene to another date.
Ruth Davison (Director) West Yorkshire Combined Authority - 0:02:19
Thank you. Given the legal advice, I declare that we have
this meeting. We'll go into informal session and we'll arrange a date for a

future meeting. Thank you chair.
