Declarations of interest and transparency statements
Decision:
The Council resolved:-
to note the transparency statements which would be recorded in the minute.
Minutes:
Councillor Blake and the Lord Provost advised that they had a connection in relation to the budget by reason of being Council appointed Directors to the Board of Aberdeen Sports Village, however having applied the objective test they did not consider that they had an interest and would not be withdrawing from the meeting.
There followed an understanding that there was no requirement for Councillors to intimate transparency statements in relation to the budget as there would be so many, and that only declarations of interest were required.
