Agenda

To receive any apologies.

In accordance with the Local Government Act, 2000, and the Council’s Code of Conduct adopted on 16th May, 2007, Members to disclose any personal or prejudicial interests in any matter included on the agenda for this meeting.

NOTE:  Members are reminded that, where applicable, they must complete the appropriate form recording details of any such interests and hand it to the Democratic Support Officer

To move that in accordance with the Council’s Constitution, specifically the Access to Information procedure Rules contained within the Constitution, the press and public be excluded from the meeting in respect of any consideration of the confidential appendix to ITEM NO:5

Appendix 4 to this report is not for publication by virtue of Category 3 (Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person including the Council) of paragraph 10.4 of the Council’s Access to Information Procedure Rules as contained in the Council’s Constitution. It is not considered to be in the public interest to disclose this information because this Appendix contains confidential and commercially sensitive information relating to the potential funding sources for the Sea City Museum Scheme and the financial impact of certain possible options upon other parties and the Council’s financial position. Given the commercial sensitivity of this information, in that its disclosure could adversely impact upon the parties and the Council’s negotiating positions and therefore have an adverse impact on the parties and the Council’s financial position, it is considered that the public interest in withholding this information at this time is greater that the public interest in disclosing it.
