The Clerk to the Board – Mr Hart, advised the Board that each organisation has furnished details of their organisation’s constitution, and AGM or inaugural meeting. In accordance with the requirements of the constitution of the Alexandra Palace and Park Consultative Committee (circulated) the requests were therefore put to the Board for consideration. Mr Hart informed the Board that having considered each Group’s submissions each met the criteria for membership of the Consultative Committee. Mr Hart also advised that copies of each organisation’s written requests for representation and copies of each organisation’s Constitution/AGM or inaugural meeting had been circulated to Board Members for information.
In response to questions from Councillor Haley in respect of Councillor Hare’s membership on both the Allotments Association, and the Television Group the Trust Solicitor – Mr Harris advised that it was for the individual to determine whether they had a personal conflict and to take the necessary steps to avoid such conflict.
Councillor Haley further asked why neither of the other two groups had not had the decency to attend the Board meeting to address the proceedings in respect of their applications. In response Mr Harris advised that there was no requirement for each organisation to address the Committee in respect of their application and that that the appointment to the Consultative Committee was academic. The Television Group had addressed the Board not in their capacity as applicants to the Consultative Committee but as a group with an interest in the future of TV studios at the Palace.
The Chair then summarised and it was:
RESOLVED
That approval be given to applications received from the following organisations for appointment to the Alexandra Palace and Park Consultative Committee:
ALEXANDRA PALACE TELEVISION GROUP
ALEXANDRA PALACE ALLOTMENTS ASSOCIATION
FRIENDS OF ALEXANDRA PALACE PARK
