APOLOGIES

Minutes:

Apologies were received from Councillor MacDougall.

The Chair ruled and the Group agreed, in terms of Standing Order 3.2.2 that applications regarding Oban Community Council and Argyllshire Gathering and Argyll Piping Trust dealt with at items 4(d) and 4(e) of this Minute, be taken as matters of urgency due to projects taking place before the next scheduled meeting of the Common Good Fund.

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST

Minutes:

The Chair declared a non-financial interest in relation to the application from University of Highlands and Islands Wind and Wave Club which was dealt with at item 3(b) of this Minute, due to a family member being involved in a partner organisation on the application. She intimated her intention to leave the room and have no part in the discussion of this item.   

 

Marri Malloy declared a non-financial interest in items 4(a) and 4(d) of this Minute as she is the Chair of Oban Community Council and was involved submitting both applications.  She left the room and took no part in the discussions of these items.

 

David McGregor declared a non-financial interest in relation to the application from the Oban Community Council which was dealt with at item 4(d) of this Minute as he is a former Director on the BIDs Board but confirmed this is not his client and therefore remained in the meeting for discussion of this item.

 

The Committee noted that given the Declaration of Interest made by Councillor Robertson the meeting would not be quorate in respect of agenda item 3(b) and resolved that for this item only they would agree a temporary delegation to the Executive Director of Customer Services, and the decision recorded is on that basis.

The Committee resolved in terms of Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, to exclude the public for the following items of business on the grounds that it was likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 6 of Part 1 of Schedule 7A to the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.
