General Committee Meeting - 16 October 2017
This meeting predates council's current meetings system, which begins in April 2023, so there is no agenda here with each item cued to the video. What follows is what the record holds: council's papers, and the decisions its minutes record.
Papers
Council keeps papers from before April 2023 on a separate archive page for each year, listed by meeting date. The files stay on council's site — why.
- Agenda: council's 2017 archive, under 16 October
- Minutes: council's 2017 archive, under 16 October
Decisions
Every decision the minutes record, in the order minuted. Where a division was called the names are on the contested votes register; otherwise the minutes say only whether it carried.
