2.—(1) At the first annual meeting of a council after a local general election the nominating officer of the party for which the formula in paragraph 3 gives the highest figure may select—
(a)a position of responsibility; and
(b)a term for which it may be held.
(2) The term selected must be a term beginning before the date of the next local general election and if the nominating officer selects the term beginning with the date of the meeting, the nominating officer must also nominate to hold the selected position of responsibility for the selected term a member of the council who stood in the name of the nominating officer’s party when elected.
(3) If—
(a)the nominating officer does not exercise any function conferred by sub-paragraph (1) or (2) within a period specified in standing orders; or
(b)the person nominated under sub-paragraph (2) does not take up the selected position of responsibility within that period,
that function becomes exercisable by the nominating officer of the party for which the formula in paragraph 3 gives the next highest figure.
(4) Sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) must be applied as many times as may be necessary to secure that every position of responsibility has been selected (treating the holding of a position of responsibility for each term as a separate position of responsibility and disregarding any selection where sub-paragraph (3)(b) applies).
