Report of Chief Officer (Resources)

(Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Sands)

Cabinet received a report from the Chief Officer (Resources) which provided an update on the existing Service Level Agreement in the context of potential new lease and rent arrangements. The report was exempt from publication by virtue of paragraph 3, of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The report was for information only and therefore no options were presented in the exempt report for Cabinet’s consideration.

Councillor Barry proposed, seconded by Councillor Sands:-

“That the recommendation, as set out in the exempt report, be approved.”

Councillors then voted:-

Resolved:

(7 Members (Councillors Barry, Bryning, Hamilton-Cox, Hanson, Leytham, Sands and David Smith) voted in favour.  Councillor Blamire had declared an interest in this item and did not participate in the discussions or vote.)

(1)  That Cabinet notes the content of the report and that further information is considered in due course as part of the 2015/16 budget process.

Officers responsible for effecting the decision:

Chief Officer (Regeneration & Planning)

Chief Officer (Resources)

Reasons for making the decision:

The arts is identified in the City Council’s Corporate Plan as a contributor to achieving the City Council’s priority of Sustainable Economic Growth.  Cabinet notes that The Dukes presented a new draft business plan and 5 year financial plan to Arts Council England in October 2014 and this will be shared with officers and members in early December once feedback has been received from the Arts Council England and it has been given approval by the Dukes’ Board of Directors.
