Agenda and draft minutes

To receive any apologies for absence from Members.

There were none provided.

Members are invited to declare any disclosable pecuniary interests (DPIs), pecuniary or non-pecuniary interests they may have in relation to any item(s) of business on today’s agenda.

Members confirmed that their entries on the Council’s register of interests were up to date and that they had no further disclosures to make. 

It was noted that minutes of previous meetingswould be presented at the next meeting of the Committee. 

As the meeting was to discuss the Part B (exempt) report which provides an update to the Committee on an on-going confidential staffing matter, the committee moved to item 5. 

The following motion is to be moved and seconded where it is proposed to exclude the press and public from the remainder of a meeting or a particular item:

“That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act, 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information falling within those paragraphs indicated in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended.”

The following motion was proposed by Councillor Hale, seconded by Councillor Cummings and agreed by the Committee to exclude the press and public for the remainder of the meeting.

“That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information falling within paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 as indicated in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended”.
