Membership and constitution of council during transition period
83 Membership and constitution of council during transition period
A person who was an elected member mentioned in section 15(2)(f) when the council passed its first membership resolution continues to hold office as an elected member until—
the term for which the person held office under section 19(1) ends; or
the person’s office sooner becomes vacant under section 24.
Despite sections 22C(c) and 22F(1), during the transition period the council also consists of any person—
whose office as an elected member is continued under subsection (1); or
who is appointed under section 85 to the office of an elected member mentioned in section 15(2)(f).
Despite section 22I(1)(b), the council is taken to be properly constituted during the transition period if it has the number of members provided for under section 17 as in force immediately before the start of the transition period.
