Issue - meetings

In relation to the request from Councillor Copland to add an item of urgent business on to the agenda in respect of potential industrial action, the Convener advised that the matter was not within the remit for Staff Governance Committee, but rather the Appeals Sub Committee, and that the Director of Customer Services would be providing an update to Members outwith the meeting.

Councillor Copland highlighted that he had contacted the Convener via email prior to the meeting to request that an item of urgent business be added to the agenda in respect of potential industrial action. 

The Convener advised that the matter was not within the remit for Staff Governance Committee, but rather the Appeals Sub Committee, and that she was aware that the Director of Customer Services would be providing an update to Members outwith the meeting, and therefore in terms of Standing Order 36.3, she would not be accepting the item on to the agenda.
