GOVERNANCE AND FUTURE VISION
To receive a verbal update on the progress
made on the review of governance of Alexandra Palace.
Minutes:
The Managing Director of APTL provided a
verbal update on the reports presented to the Board of Trustees (on
6th September) on the Alexandra Palace and Park
Governance and Future Vision, including:
- That,
to strive for eventual financial independence, the focus of the
Palace in the short term should be on fund raising (APPCT),
regeneration (Working Group) and improving commercial income
(APTL).
- The
Board agreed to adopt the ‘interim model’ and work
towards the ultimate model of independence. This would include the recruitment of independent
advisors to the Board, which would require approval by
Haringey’s Full Council.
- The Regeneration
Working Group, to consider the master plan for Alexandra Palace and
Park, would meet in October and a process would be put in place to
maintain a dialogue with Stakeholders.
It was noted that if members did not get the opportunity to feed
into the Stakeholders Focus Group held in August 2010 their views
could still be submitted to the General Manager - Alexandra
Palace.
RESOLVED that the update be
noted.
