Article 8 Council Members

At the first meeting of the Council in May 1999, and on the first full meeting of each subsequently elected Council thereafter, the Council shall appoint four of their number to be Members of the Authority in accordance with the provisions of the articles of this Order.

Of the four Members appointed by the Council, at least three shall represent electoral divisions with the name “Lerwick” in the title.

Should any Member so appointed subsequently cease to be a member of the Council then that member shall also cease to be a Member of the Authority and the Council shall appoint a replacement from their number at the earliest convenient opportunity to serve for the remainder of the term of appointment of the Member ceasing to be a Member.
