This print contains minutes of meetings of the Council and its committees. Minutes are a record of the decisions taken by a committee. The Council has given committees a wide range of powers to make decisions but sometimes a committee does not have the authority to decide on a matter and must pass it to the Council to decide. If this is necessary, the paragraph will have a “C” after its number in the minutes and will be submitted to the next Council meeting on 30th July 2020 for approval. When a decision is taken after a division and the vote is taken electronically, a copy of the record of how each member voted is available on request from Committee Services. If you require any further information about this print, please contact Committee Services on 0141 287 3926 for general information. Enquiries about particular committee minutes should be directed to the appropriate Committee Officer. A list of Committee Officers is shown overleaf.
