The incoming Nationalist administration in Angus met on Sunday to discuss how the council pack will be shuffled for the new era.
With the party now holding a majority of 15 from 29 council seats in the county, the political landscape will be much changed from the previous Alliance, which relied on a coalition vote to push changes through.
Angus SNP leader Helen Oswald said a statutory meeting of the council would be held on May 15, when due process would be followed to appoint leaders and the head of each major committee.
She added: ”We will all be sitting down before that meeting to discuss these matters and nothing has been decided yet.”
The leader and deputy leader of the council will have to be allocated, as will the role of provost, left vacant after Ruth Leslie Melville stepped down this year.
Independent Bob Spink, who comfortably eased back into his Arbroath seat in poll position, ruled himself out of the running for provost, despite speculation he would be offered the job.
He said he would instead be continuing his work towards increasing Arbroath’s appeal to tourists and trying to revamp the High Street.
”I am well aware of the issues the town faces and I believe we are already going in the right direction in terms of improving Arbroath,” he said.
Other council positions up for grabs include convener and vice-convener of civic licensing, corporate services, development management review, development standards, education, infrastructure services, neighbourhood services, social work and health and strategic policy.
Returning Montrose SNP councillor Paul Valentine said his party now has to work out who will take the lead roles of the main council committees.
”We have to decide as a group what the roles of each of the members in the new administration will be and have to wait and see what is said in that respect,” he said.The full election results are available at www.angus.gov.uk
