The following minute books record the discussions and decisions taken by the appointed members regarding sanitary and poverty issues within Burgh of Irvine. These matters are also recorded in less detail within the main Town Council Minute Books.

Gr1/7 Dean of Guild Court
Dean of Guild Courts developed from merchant guilds, where the Dean of Guild had jurisdiction over certain aspects of burgh life including trade and commerce, regulation of weights and measures, property boundaries and good neighbourhood. By the nineteenth century the Dean of Guild became the building control authority in Scottish Burghs and anyone intending to build had to submit a plan for approval to the court. Dean of Guild Courts continued as the building control authorities in burghs until 1975, when the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, abolished burghs.
