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 paragraphs are:- 
E1 Paragraph 8  The amount of any expenditure proposed to be incurred by the authority
under any particular contract for the acquisition of property or the supply of goods or
services.
Paragraph 9  Any terms proposed or to be proposed by or to the authority in the course of
negotiations for a contract for the acquisition or disposal of property or the supply of goods
or services.
