This print contains minutes of meetings of the Council and its committees. At the back of the print there are appendices with minutes of other bodies such as the Police and Fire Boards and the Passenger Transport Authority which are submitted to the Council for information. 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 28th June 2007 for approval. If you require any further information about this print, please contact Committee Services on 0141 287 5678 for general information. Enquiries about particular committee minutes should be directed to the appropriate Committee Officer. A list of Committee Officers is shown overleaf.

After consideration, the Council approved the amendment of Council Standing Order 1(1) to read as follows:— “Following consultation by the Chief Executive with political groupings and independents, the first meeting of the Council after the ordinary election of councillors will be held at a time to be determined by the Chief Executive but no later than the third Thursday after the election.
