Agenda and decisions

The Chair will welcome everyone and introduce members of the Committee to the public.

The Chair welcomed everyone and members of the committee introduced themselves.

To approve the Minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 25 February 2016.

RESOLVED – That the minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 25th February 2016 were approved as a correct record.

The Councillors will be asked to say if there are any items on the Agenda in which they have disclosable pecuniary interests, which would prevent them from participating in any discussion of the items or participating in any vote upon the items, or any other interests.

None were declared.

Most debates take place in public.  This only changes when there is a need to consider certain issues, for instance, commercially sensitive information or details concerning an individual.  You will be told at this point whether there are any items on the Agenda which are to be discussed in private.

It was agreed that all items be discussed in public session.

The Committee will receive any petitions and hear any deputations from members of the public.  A deputation is where up to five people can attend the meeting and make a presentation on some particular issue of concern.  A member of the public can also hand in a petition at the meeting but that petition should relate to something on which the body has powers and responsibilities.

None were received.

The Committee will receive feedback from community projects it has supported in the last year.  Approximately 5 minutes for each group

(40 minutes).
