Meetings of the Council, Committees, Boards etc are generally held
in the Council Chambers, Tom Johnston House, Civic Way,
Kirkintilloch. The Chambers can accommodate approx 30 - 40 members
of the public in the public gallery.
General Information
Our Committee year
runs from August until the end of the following June (e.g. Aug 2010
- June 2011). The Council operates an eight-weekly cycle of
committee meetings. There are approximately six committee cycles
per committee year. In addition sub-committees, boards and panels
are called on an ad hoc (as and when required) basis. Please
remember to check for any changes or alterations to strategic
committee minutes made at the following council meeting and
recorded in the minute of that (full council) meeting.
Why would I use the system?
This system provides a great reference library of items considered
by the Council since 1996. This may be useful if you are trying to
find background information on a current topic or just for general
curiosity about current or previous Council decisions.
What can I search?
The majority of information on Council and service committees is
available through the minutes published to these pages. Currently
you can view minutes of all parent committees from 1996.
How do I use the system?
If you know what meeting you wish to view and the date it took
place, select the diary and turn to the appropriate page.
Select the entry and view the related documents. Alternatively
there is a powerful search facility within the system. It can
search for a single word(s) across all published records; it can
search all minutes if you know specific minute details (date,
committee meeting etc); or it can search for reports if the
information you have is specific report information (report number,
title etc). The published minutes and reports for each committee
are interlinked and you can move from a minute to related
reports/agenda and vice versa. The link is called related documents
and is usually at the foot of document you're viewing.
However, the more information you have, then the search results
will be quicker and more specific.
Decide what you want to know and what you already have which may be
of some use.
Example - I would like to know about the Council's 21st Century
Government Plan. A search for "Plan" or
"Government" would reveal a substantial level of results including
the one you're looking for, however a search for "21st Century" may
be more specific, with "21st Century Government Plan" being the
optimum search and result. Once you have the result you're looking
for and have entered the document, select "Edit" and "Find (on this
page)" or CTRL + F, to find your search within that document.
