Issue - meetings

RESOLVED: that the minutes of the meeting held on 18 February 2010, are correctly recorded and that they be signed by the Chairman.

Mr Christie offered his apologies to the County Council for failing to declare a personal interest in item 7 on the agenda for the previous meeting (Medium Term Plan 2010/13 and Budget and Council Tax setting for 2010/11), as his wife was Chairman of the Management Committee of Gravesham Citizen’s Advice Bureaux. The Chairman reassured the County Council that, because Mr Christie had only declared a personal interest, albeit retrospectively, his participation in the debate and votes on the budget item would not have been affected.
