5. Councillor Ann Cowan
Members of the Council may be aware that Councillor Ann Cowan has had a period of ill-health. She last attended a meeting of the authority on 12 February 2015 when she attended the meeting of the Council that day.
Section 35 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 states that if a member of a local authority fails throughout a period of six consecutive months to attend any meeting of the authority, he shall, unless the failure was due to some reason approved by the authority, cease to be a member of the authority.
It is understood that Councillor Cowan's continuing ill-health may preclude her from attending a meeting of the authority before 12 August 2015 i.e. the end of the period of 6 consecutive months from 12 February 2015. Accordingly, the Council is asked to approve Councillor Cowan's ill-health as the reason for her failure to attend any meetings of the Council since 12 February 2015.
