The Committee Manager further advised that following a decision made by the Council at the meeting on Thursday 21 April 2016, a delegation had been given to the Executive Director with responsibility for Legal and Regulatory Support (or his representative) to determine applications in consultation with Ward 8 Members, and the decision recorded is on that basis.

2.    any funds received via reimbursement for fuel and insurance costs shall be used only for the purpose of the Isle of Bute Resilience Team.
