iii.        To note the minutes of the meeting of the Alexandra Palace and Park Board held on 4^th March 2019.

The following issues were noted in discussion:

• In response to member questions, Louise Stewart, CEO, noted the Trust had not yet implemented the licence for commercial dog walkers. 
• Jacob O’Callaghan requested the Alexandra Palace and Park Board have an item on their next meeting’s agenda regarding Freedom of Information (FOI) and exempt information.
• The CEO noted that, if the Charity were a standalone charity without Haringey Council as a corporate trustee, then it would not be subject to FOI. However, because the corporate trustee was a local authority, the officers of the Council guided the Board on FOI matters. The Board had agreed with the Council that it would operate on the basis of the same exemptions as the Council. The CEO reassured the Joint Committee that the Trust was committed to openness and transparency  and always acted in the interest of the Charity. The work undertaken by the Trust on a Strategic Vision for AP was ongoing and not for publication at this time.
