a)
To receive declarations of non pecuniary
interests in respect of items on this agenda
For
reference: Having
declared their non pecuniary interest members may remain in the
meeting and speak and, vote on the matter in question. A completed disclosure of interests form should be

meeting.
b)
To receive declarations of disclosable pecuniary
interests in respect of items on this agenda
For
reference: Where a Member
has a disclosable pecuniary interest he/she must leave the meeting
during consideration of the item.
However, the Member may remain in the meeting to make
representations, answer questions or give evidence if the public
have a right to do so, but having done so the Member must then
immediately leave the meeting, may not vote and must not improperly
seek to influence the outcome of the matter. A completed disclosure of interests form should be
returned to the Clerk before the conclusion of the
meeting.
Where the interest is for
issues relating to prioritisation of topics, approval of a
prioritisation matrix and where approval of Grant Funding is being
discussed, the Monitoring Officer has granted a dispensation to
Board Members to remain in meetings of the Torquay Place Leadership
Board and take part in discussions but not to vote on any
application made by themselves or their organisation.
(Please
Note: If Members and Officers wish
to seek advice on any potential interests they may have, they
should contact Governance Support or Legal Services prior to the
meeting.)
