There were no declarations of personal interest.

RESOLVED that the decision record of the meetings held on the 17^th and 27^th November 2017 be signed as correct records.

RESOLVED that the following applications for assistance from the Welsh Church Fund be approved subject to the usual terms and conditions and those specified in the report:

Applicant                                                                                     Award

Carmarthen & District Youth Opera                                         £3,000.00

Penygroes Community Centre                                                 £3,000.00

Ferryside Social Enterprise Group                                            £3,000.00

RESOLVED pursuant to The Local Government Act 1972 as, amended by The Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007 that the following items were not for publication as the reports contained exempt information as defined in Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act.

Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute no. 4 above not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).

The public interest test in this matter related to the fact that the report contained detailed information about the business and financial affairs and ambitions of the applicants. In this case, the public interest in transparency and accountability is outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality, as disclosure of this information would be likely to damage the applicants at this stage.

The Executive Board Member considered an application from Cywion Bach Cyf for a grant towards the development of a former school at Idole into a nursery which would accommodate 7 full time jobs and 13 part time jobs as well as bringing 261m2 of floor space back into use.

RESOLVED that the following application for a grant from the Carmarthenshire Rural Enterprise Fund be approved subject to the usual terms and conditions and those specified in the report:-
