The Provost of Falkirk has been appointed convener of the council's Internal Scrutiny Committee following the resignation of independent councillor Brian McCabe.
Councillor Robert Bissett will now take on the role, which is traditionally held by an opposition member as its main role is to scrutinise decisions taken by the administration.
Provost Bissett was the leader of the Labour group on Falkirk Council until May, when he became the district's first citizen.

Councillor McCabe resigned from the position in December after failing to persuade other councillors that it should be a paid role.
In a short resignation letter, Cllr McCabe wrote: "Following the Council’s decision and the lack of importance it places on the role, I see no reason to waste my time on a lost cause."
Cllr McCabe's independent colleague, Councillor Robert Spears, had put forward a motion to ensure that the role was renumerated.
But he was told that strict rules mean that in Falkirk - which has 30 councillors - only 14 roles can be paid and a cap of £342,524 is in place.
Roles that are currently paid include the conveners of the planning committee and licensing board as well as the Provost, council leader, portfolio holders and leader of the main opposition group.
While there is room for one more paid convenership, there are several others that are also unpaid - including External Scrutiny - and other councillors said they could not agree to the uplift for just one role.
