Minutes:
The Chief Executive reported that the High Sheriff (Ian Adamson) had received from the Northern Ireland Office a letter inviting him, in accordance with normal practice, to submit to the Secretary of State the names of three persons suitable for the appointment of High Sheriff of Belfast for the year 2012. The Chief Executive reminded the Council that, in previous years, it had decided to submit one name only to the Secretary of State and had requested that the Council decide how it wished to proceed.
The Council agreed to submit one name only to the Northern Ireland Office for appointment to the Office of High Sheriff and, accordingly, the Lord Mayor invited nominations from the Council.
Alderman M. Campbell was proposed by Alderman Stalford and seconded by Alderman Rodgers.
Accordingly, it was agreed that Alderman M. Campbell be nominated to the Northern Ireland Office for appointment to the Office of High Sheriff for the City of Belfast for the year 2012.
