RESOLVED
i. That following consideration of the report of the Interim General Manager and its legal advisers in respect of seeking a decision from the Board as to whether it wishes to give further consideration to possible proceedings against a former Chair of the Board, it be agreed that no further action be taken in this matter;
ii. That the Interim General Manager be instructed to respond to the Council’s Monitoring Officer, informing him of resolution (i) above;
iii. That the Trustees' principal focus is securing the future regeneration of the building, and its senior staff and Trustee time and financial resources must be directed at pursuing that goal, however;
iv. That this Board notes, accepts and endorses the findings of the Standards Determination Hearing of 30 and 31 March 2010 in respect of the conduct of Councillor Adje in his capacity as former Chair of the Alexandra Palace and Park Board;
v. that in so accepting the findings of the Standards Determination Hearing of 30 and 31 March 2010 , having given careful consideration to the minutes of the Determination Hearing Panel, the Board records its own independent view that the conduct and behaviour of Councillor Adje fell very far short of the standard of conduct expected of a Chair and Trustee of the Alexandra Palace and Park Board, and that it be noted that following these actions and as a result of an exhaustive review process, clear and proper governance principles have now been adopted by the Alexandra Palace and Park Board to prevent such actions occurring in the future;
vi. that to further transparency and in the public interest, in respect of the exempt classification of the report considered, the Chief Executive Alexandra Palace be delegated authority, in conjunction with the Chair of the Board, and subject to any legal clarification, to consider publishing the exempt report either in a full or redacted public form, and also consider whether the minutes of the proceedings on this item also be made available in either a full or redacted public form; and
vii. that in respect of the formal resolutions of the Alexandra Park and Palace Statutory Advisory Committee of 13 September 2011 and an appropriate response from the Board, the Chair be delegated authority in conjunction with the Chief Executive of Alexandra Palace to respond on behalf of the Board.
