| Summary: |
This Order re-constitutes the Cattewater Harbour Commissioners and increases the borrowing powers of the Commissioners from £1 million to £5 million.
The previous constitution provided for a body of nineteen Commissioners of whom thirteen were appointed by various appointing bodies and six were elected by owners and lessees having a frontage on the harbour. The new constitution provides for a body of ten Commissioners of whom eight are to be appointed by the Commissioners from amongst persons with experience in relevant matters and one is to be appointed by the Secretary of State for Defence. The remaining commissioner is to be either the harbour master or another officer designated by the Commissioners thereby securing executive representation on the Commissioners. Provision is included to enable a gradual transition to the new appointment arrangements. The Order also makes provision to govern the selection and terms of appointment of Commissioners and the manner in which they are to conduct business. It further provides for the appointment of one or more advisory bodies.
