Decision details
Urgency - Foreshore Trust Business Plan 2019 – 2022 – additional items
Decision Maker: Charity Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To propose additional items for inclusion into the business plan for the period 2019-2022.
Decisions:
The Assistant Director, Regeneration and Culture presented a report to propose additional items for the period 2019 – 2022.
The Assistant Director, Regeneration and Culture noted that the report should reflect that the business plan is a 5 year rolling plan and will run up to 2024.
The business plan is based upon current knowledge of maintenance, income, required capital works and proposals for new activities.
It will be subject to review and modification as developing proposals and investigations are completed, most significantly in relation to the Stade facilities and the White Rock Baths area. The plan should be reviewed annually. As such the 2019/20 business plan is currently being reviewed, and a number of additional items are proposed for inclusion.
These additional items will not change the existing budgeted amount within the grants scheme, or main programme activities, and, will instead, be funded through additional income from increases in fees and charges and use of reserves which are currently unallocated.
The areas of support which have been identified, and would, it is proposed, have budget lines associated are:
a. Homelessness
b. Fuel poverty
c. Domestic Violence
d. Housing, debt and benefit advice
e. Migration intervention
f. Support infrastructure to voluntary organisations (who support the most deprived and isolated individuals).
A question was raised regarding the impact of the Herring Fair on seafront car parks and car park revenue. In response it was confirmed that previous analysis has shown an increase in car park revenue around the time of events at the Stade.
The Assistant Director, Financial Services and Revenues highlighted that work is being undertaken to confirm the ongoing maintenance liabilities of the Trust. The Borough Surveyor has prepared a draft maintenance schedule so that costs can be calculated and incorporated into the budget.
Councillor Rogers proposed a motion to accept the recommendation in the report, seconded by Councillor Batsford.
RESOLVED (unanimously):
That the additional items proposed for inclusion in the Business Plan be approved, in principle.
Reasons for recommendation:The Charity Committee requires a business plan to support its decision-making on the use of Trust assets and surpluses.
We are 2 years into the current 5 year business plan, and due to reducing funding across East Sussex County Council and within Hastings Borough Council, it is timely to review current allocations of funding for charitable purposes within the borough of Hastings.
The finalised 19/20-21/22 business plan will be presented for discussion on the 18th March 2019.
