There were no items of urgent business.

There was a query about the absence of the terms of reference from the committee agenda. It was usual practice for committees to consider their terms of reference at their first meeting of the municipal year. In response it was noted that the terms of reference for the Area Committees were unchanged since the previous municipal year and they had been approved at full Council in May 2012. The protocols for the Area Committee had changed and were available for view. In keeping with good practice, it was agreed that the Area Committee terms of reference be put forward for ratification at the next meeting in September.
