NOTED

(ii)               ALEXANDRA PALACE AND PARK BOARD – 22 JULY 2008

Mr O’Callaghan referred to the transfer of banking arrangements from the Co-op Bank to RBS by the Council and whether the Palace had also transferred its banking arrangements, or whether it was a separate account.

The General Manager – Mr Loudfoot advised that the Palace’s banking arrangements were separate and that the palace was in the process of moving to another bank. Councillor Hare commented that electronic transferring was easier when transferring monies then different banks, therefore it made sense for both to be with the same banker.

In response to comments of Mr Richelle, regarding the likely revenue from a hotel development Mr Loudfoot advised that if a lease was granted for a proposed hotel site the only monies the palace would receive were in respect of ground rent and that the Trust would not profit from a hotel on the site.

RESOLVED

That the minutes of Alexandra Palace and Park Board held on 22 July 2008 be noted.
