I believe that, at the moment, only full Council and Planning are recorded? Kind regards, Caroline Councillor Caroline Bamforth Convener of Social Work and Health Ward No.5 Newton Mearns South & Eaglesham East Renfrewshire Council Headquarters, Eastwood Park, Rouken Glen Road, Giffnock G46 6UG 05/06/2020 14:45 Caroline At the moment the only meetings that are webcast live and subsequently published for later viewing are the Full council and Planning Applications Committee where it is a planning hearing. Normal planning applications committees are not webcast/published. The plan is that as we continue to hold virtual meetings on Teams they will all be recorded and the recording published after the event. We will not be broadcasting Teams meetings live – this will include the Council if we are still meeting virtually.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it > Subject: CCs and virtual meetings Sharon Re my email last week to Tony Buchanan and Colm Merrick regarding support for CCs to have virtual meetings. They have both come back to say that they are supportive of the proposal for the Council to pay for Zoompro for them whilst they are not able to have in person meetings. This will enable them to open up their meetings to a wider audience and to let the meetings run over the 40 minute cut off with the free version of the App. We can try and claim this back as a COVID related expense but in case it was rejected then there would be a cost. As it stands we have 8 active CCs so we would be looking at about £100 a month. If some of them didn’t want to go down that route then if would be less. The CCs would need to take out their own subscription and pay for it – they could then claim it back from us subject to evidence of payment. What do you think?

The cost code for the COVID costs is 22107 and if you let Rukhsana know how much you are putting against this code that would be great.

Can you give me a couple of sentences to include in the SWAY? Thanks Lesley Anne Neill Project Management Office Manager Corporate and Community Services Department Daly, Eamonn < This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

This was the first of the Council’s formal main committees to be held remotely. The full Council meeting will be held virtually on Wednesday 24 June with both the Planning Applications Committee and the Audit & Scrutiny Committee taking place the following day.

This way we mirror, as closely as is possible just now, our existing arrangements. If possible, can these please be placed under a file on a Teams folder for all LRB members to view in the morning and also accessible during the meeting should we wish to view these again. Many thanks for your help.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it > 24/06/2020 12:05 Afternoon all I don’t see any problem with this other than my comment below regarding reshowing at the meeting Graham are you happy to go out and do the recording? We would need to do at the meeting is confirm that everyone had viewed the footage – as in terms of normal procedure if people don’t go on the site visit then they can’t take part in the IJB. We could just remind everyone of that beforehand. Do we normally pictures from the site available at the meeting? I would have though the whole point of seeing the video in advance would be so that we didn’t need to reshow it at the meeting although arguably if someone hadn’t seen it prior to the meeting we could show it and they could then take part. Worth a meeting to discuss? Eamonn Eamonn Daly Democratic Services Manager Department of Corporate and Community Services |

24/06/2020 11:58 Dear Councillors I just wanted to let you know that as we are not yet at the stage of recording meetings it has been agreed that Drew Sandelands, the Local Democracy reported on the Barrhead News, has been given access to this afternoon’s meeting of the Council. Mr Sandelands has been advised that he will be there as a viewer from the “virtual gallery” and so both his camera and microphone will be switched off. Kind Regards Eamonn |

I did try to log on to the ERC Meeting, but was unable to do so due to technical issues. The Teams App was just not responding on my laptop. All I got was a blank screen with nothing loading. I tried every means I could think of but was unable to log on. The direction of travel from the UK & Scottish Governments does seem to be in favour of scrapping the 2 metre rule, and to be replaced with the “1 metre plus” rule (1.1 metre?). I very much hope that normal, traditional style ERC Meetings can resume after the summer recess, rather than virtual meetings. Best wishes Cllr.

Any troubleshooting sites I have looked at suggest uninstalling the app and then re-installing. Maybe IT could do this for him remotely? If he had called I could have explained to him about the dial-in option.

Can I suggest you get in touch with IT and they can do some troubleshooting for you. It may be the case that the app needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled but IT will be best placed to look into this for you. I have copied the IT helpdesk in to this email. Clearly it is everyone’s hope that we get back to normal meeting arrangements sooner rather than later but we still need to have the remote meeting arrangements in place for as long as necessary. A couple of suggestions for the future if we are still having remote meetings and you are still having problems. Firstly, rather than using the hyperlink at the bottom of the meeting invitation, use the “Join Teams Meeting” icon at the top of the invitation. We have found that connecting to the meeting that way rather than using the hyperlink sometimes works better. A second option would be to dial in to the meeting. Below the meeting link on the invitation you will see a telephone number and conference ID. If you call the number and put in the conference ID you will be able to join the meeting. This would only be in audio and not as good as the full experience on your PC/laptop but would at least mean you could participate.

Liona was saying that he only tried to get in at 2.15 If he had tried before the meeting started we might have been able to get him sorted. Ellie has the Stewart Miller thing in hand but a number of the other cllrs are still saying they are having problems including Buchanan and O’Kane I have a meeting with them at 4 so I will see if the problems persist and let you know.

Might be an idea to host a test meeting with the few that are having issue to see if they can connect, raise a hand etc??

You need JavaScript enabled to view it > 25/06/2020 18:10 A meeting with IT would be helpful. However, it should probably wait until the lockdown has further relaxed. Again, should schools be returning full-time (as Nicola Sturgeon has indicated) and should the 2 metre rule be replaced with a 1 metre rule (as the UK Prime Minister has indicated), I very much hope that we can have regular style meetings again following the summer recess.
