Decision:
Pam MacMeikan Arts & Events Manager, introduced the report which asked Commissioners to approve event grant applications set out in appendix B to the report and to consider an operational delegation of powers permitting the Service Head to approve small event grants since the calendar of events grants did not coincide with the programme of Commissioners’ Decision Making Meetings.
Members were invited to comment. Councillor Saunders queried how the delegation would be undertaken but had no objection providing that members were able to access details of the applications made. Cllr Golds indicated that he had no comments that he wished to make.
Commissioners considered the proposals and did not objected to the requested delegation on condition that it was effective until the end of the financial year only and that Arts and Events officers provide a quarterly report of applications funded to Commissioners in the same manner required of other sections of the Council which issue grants.
RESOLVED
1. That funding for new Event Fund applications as set out in Appendix B be approved.
2. That funding for new Event Fund applications as set out in Appendix C be rejected.
3. That the existing monthly cycle of Event Fund applications be retained and decision making to award grants be delegated to the Service Head – Culture, Learning & Leisure for the remainder of the financial year, in light of the low value of individual grants and the annual budget overall.
4. That Commissioners receive a quarterly report of applications funded via this delegation.
