Issue - meetings

in terms of Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, to exclude the press and public from the meeting during consideration of items 11.1 (Christmas Village 2017 Feedback - Exempt Appendix), 11.2 (Unrecoverable Debt - Exempt Appendix), 11.3 (Condition and Suitability 3 Year Programme - Exempt Appendices), 11.4 (UNESCO Creative Cities Designation), 11.5 (Creative Funding Grants Programme), 11.6 (Site at King Street/Beach Esplanade (OP85)), 11.7 (Community Asset Transfer – Seaton Huts and Depot), 11.8 (Disposal of Land, Devil's Den, Woodside), 11.9 (New Schools Development Programme 2018 – Appendices), 11.10 (Disposal of Former Victoria Road School) and 11.12 (Middlefield Regeneration).

The Convener proposed that the Committee consider items 11.1 (Christmas Village 2017 Feedback - Exempt Appendix), 11.2 (Unrecoverable Debt - Exempt Appendix), 11.3 (Condition and Suitability 3 Year Programme - Exempt Appendices), 11.4 (UNESCO Creative Cities Designation), 11.5 (Creative Funding Grants Programme), 11.6 (Site at King Street/Beach Esplanade (OP85)), 11.7 (Community Asset Transfer – Seaton Huts and Depot), 11.8 (Disposal of Land, Devil's Den, Woodside), 11.9 (New Schools Development Programme 2018 – Appendices), 11.10 (Disposal of Former Victoria Road School) and 11.12 (Middlefield Regeneration) with the press and public excluded.

Councillor Yuill moved as a procedural motion:-

that the Committee consider the non-exempt information in the report at item 11.10 (Disposal of Former Victoria Road School) in public and to refrain from referring to any of the exempt information during its consideration.

As Councillor Yuill did not have a seconder, in terms of Standing Order 27.4, the procedural motion fell and was therefore not put to the vote.

The Committee resolved:-

in terms of Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, to exclude the press and public from the meeting from item 11.1 of the agenda so as to avoid disclosure of information of the classes described in the following paragraphs of Schedule 7(A) to the Act:- articles 23 and 24 (paragraph 6), articles 25 and 26 (paragraph 8), article 27 (paragraph 4), articles 28, 29, 30, 32 and 34 (paragraphs 6 and 9) and article 31 (paragraphs 6 and 12).
