Report of the Chief Executive, Alexandra Palace, updating on governance issues.

RECEIVED the report of Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive – Alexandra Palace, on the timetable of meetings proposing that the Board move to quarterly meetings.

NOTED

• The Statutory Advisory Committee and Consultative Committee meetings should be scheduled to similar quarterly timescales as the Board but in advance of the Board meetings to allow time for their advice or recommendations to feed into the Board.
• Nothing prevented a special Board meeting being held in between scheduled meetings if required and communication with Board members would still take place in between meetings.

RESOLVED

i.                    That the report be noted and the proposed new quarterly frequency of Board meetings be approved with effect from the new municipal year in May 2012.  The Chairs of other relevant Committees are invited to co-ordinate their meetings with the main Board.

ii.         That the scheduled meeting on 19^th December be cancelled and the regular meeting scheduled for 3^rd April 2012 be moved to mid-May 2012 in order to establish the new quarterly frequency.  It was agreed that the 3^rd April 2012 be held as a provisional date for a special meeting to consider regeneration issues.
