Items marked with an “asterisk” are items, on the basis of information available at the time this
Agenda is published, on which the Committee may not have delegated powers to act, and which
may therefore require to be referred to the Council or another Committee, and that referral may
depend on the decision reached at the meeting.
The Committee will be asked to pass a resolution in terms of Section 50(A)(4) of the Local
Government (Scotland) Act 1973 to exclude the public for items of business with an “E” on the
grounds that it is likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information as defined in the
appropriate paragraph of Part I of Schedule 7a to the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. 
The appropriate paragraph is:- 
E1 Paragraph 6  Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular
person (other than the authority).
