Minutes:
Christopher May left the chamber during the debate on this item.
The Chief Legal Officer presented a report which requested the Charity Committee approve the re-appointment of Christopher May as the Protector of the Hastings and St Leonards Foreshore Charity Trust for a further 3 year period.
Under the requirements of the scheme, the Charity Committee was required to appoint a Protector to oversee the activities of the Foreshore Trust. The post-holder must be a member of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies.
The post had been advertised on the council’s website for a three week period, Mr May was the only applicant.
Councillor Forward proposed approval of the recommendations to the Chief Legal Officer’s report, which was seconded by Councillor Cartwright.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that Christopher May be reappointed as the Protector of Hastings and St Leonards Foreshore Charitable Trust for a period of three years
The reason for this decision was:
On 13 January 2011, the Charity Commission for England and Wales approved Hastings Borough Council as trustee for the Hastings and St Leonards Foreshore Charitable Trust. The scheme required that the trustee must appoint a Protector of the charity “whose fiduciary duty will be to ensure the integrity of the administration of the charity, and who must report to the Charity Commission any matter which he has reasonable cause to believe is likely to be relevant for the purposes of the exercise by the Commission of any of its functions”.
