In November 2021 the Council previously agreed to confer the
Freedom of Argyll and Bute to Patrick Stewart CVO, MBE and the Council
considered a report which set out matters in order to progress the arrangements
for the award ceremony in light of ongoing public health guidance.
Decision
The Council:
- Instructed
the Executive Director with responsibility for Legal and Regulatory
Services, to make arrangements in conjunction with the Provost for a
Special Meeting of the Council for the formal admission ceremony.
- Noted
that this will be the only item on the Agenda for that Special Meeting of
the Council, which will take place at a date, time and place to be
determined as soon as possible.
- Agreed
that the Special Meeting of the Council be conducted on a hybrid meeting
basis.
