Minutes:
The Interim General Manager – Alexandra Palace, Andrew Gill, provided a verbal update on governance.
NOTED
Joint Statutory Advisory Committee (SAC) and Consultative Committee (CC)
Dialogue with the Charity Commission had begun regarding the possibility of changing the membership and remit of Advisory Committee to include the Consultative Committee groups.
Further to tonight’s meeting of the Joint Committee a review meeting would take place to consider the possibility of continuing as a Joint Committee.
Alexandra Palace and Park Finance and Human Resources Working Group
The Board had created a working group to look at how money was spent by the Charitable Trust and it would be chaired by Cllr Nigel Scott. Whilst the working group would report to the Board (via the Interim General Manager) its meetings would not be public.
Concern was raised about the working group potentially taking over the roles of the SAC and CC in advising the Board. Officers highlighted that the working group would be looking at specific and detailed internal issues, separate to those considered by the Committees.
Recruitment of Independent Advisors
A high quality, low cost recruitment exercise would take place for the recruitment of independent advisors to the Board.
Recruitment of Chief Executive of Alexandra Palace
Long-listing for the position of Chief Executive of Alexandra Palace had taken place and final interviews would be held on 30th June.
