    197/18       1. At 5:16pm pursuant to Sections 90(2) and 90(3)(e) of the Local Government Act, 1999
                    Council orders that all members of the public be excluded from attendance at the part
                    of the meeting relating to this item.

                     To enable the Council to consider an item in confidence on the basis that Council
                     considers it necessary and appropriate to act in a meeting closed to the public
                     (excepting those persons listed above) in order to receive, discuss or consider in
                     confidence the following information or matter in relation to commercial information of
                     a confidential nature (not being a trade secret) the disclosure of which –

                     (e) matters affecting the security of the council, members or employees of the council,
                         or council property, or the safety of any person;

                               Specifically the present matter relates to Chief Executive Officer David J.
                                Stevenson’s Review.

                 2. That accordingly, on this basis, the principle that meetings of the Council should be
                    conducted in a place open to the public has been outweighed by the need to keep the
                    information or discussion confidential.

                    person.
