(i) Minutes of the Board – 24 April 2007
The Chair referred to the Minutes of the Board held on 24 April 2007 and asked if there were any points of accuracy.
Councillor Hare referred to the minute APB008 of 24 April 2007 in respect of the future of the asset – in particular reference in the 4th paragraph – line 9 ‘none of these actions would be irrevocable’. Councillor Hare asked for clarification with regard to the latest position with the future of the asset and whether actions taken had now been revoked. Councillor Hare commented that he been led to believe that due to certain actions there was now an issue as to whether the contracts would proceed.
In response to clarification from Mr Holder as to what exactly Councillor Hare had meant by ‘he had been led to believe’ Councillor Hare referred to a letter, that he understood from a source, had been issued from the Treasury Solicitors which in effect had put on hold the process for the future development of the asset.
The Trust Solicitor – Mr Harris advised that Councillor Hare should disclose either his source or produce the letter he referred to.
In response to further questions from Mr Harris, and the Chair, Councillor Hare advised that a letter received from the Treasury Solicitors/Attorney General had stated that the development process was on hold and therefore he was asking, as a point of accuracy in the minutes, if any actions taken thus far would now be revoked.
Mr Harris advised that this was a speculative comment and that should Councillor Hare wish to refer further to the matter then this should be done during Item 13 in the exempt part of the proceedings.
In concurring with the comments of Mr Harris the Chair commented that this was indeed not a point of accuracy but an issue that should be raised elsewhere within the meeting.
Councillor Hare, with reference to his earlier comment sought assurances (which he asked to be minuted) that should further developments occur, as referred to in the letter by the Treasury Solicitor – that actions thus far would be revoked, the issue be revisited by the Board.
(Councillor Dogus arrived at 19.35hrs)
The Chair advised the Board that the point raised by Councillor Hare was not a point of accuracy and the Board were being asked to agree the Minutes of the Board of 24 April 2007 as an accurate record of the proceedings. The issue raised by Councillor Hare was a matters arising and therefore should be raised under Item 13 only.
There being no further points of clarification the Chair MOVED and it was:
RESOLVED
