6.1 The Greenwich and Docklands Festival PDF 133 KB
Decision:
Steve Murray, Head of Arts & Events, introduced the report which asked Commissioners to approve event grant applications for two festivals set out at agenda items 6.1 and 6.2, for the sums of £25,000 and £5000 respectively. He informed Commissioners that following discussion on the nature of these payments with Legal Services, it had been determined that they should be regarded as grant payments since the Council had a discretion and therefore the applications had been brought to the meeting for determination.
The Chair asked attending Members to respond to the information presented and they indicated that they had no observations that they wished to make.
The Chair supported the grant requests made and asked also that a report be made to a future Cabinet meeting on an appropriate strategy for all events that will be supported by the Council. The strategy will include the intended aims and outcomes of these events.
RESOLVED
1. That a payment of £25,000 be made to the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival event organisers for this year’s event.
2. That it be noted that a report setting out the proposed arrangements for future events will be produced for consideration by the end of December 2015.
3. That a report be made to a future Cabinet meeting on an appropriate strategy for all events that will receive support from the Council and which will include the intended aims and outcomes of these events.
