Meeting: 09/12/2019 - Charity Committee (Item 49)
49 Appointment of Grants Advisory Panel members PDF 113 KB
Minutes:
Chris Barkshire-Jones, Chief Legal Officer, presented a report to propose the appointment of new members to the Grants Advisory Panel.
The Grants Advisory Panel (GAP) was introduced within the Scheme dated 13 January 2011 in which Hastings Borough Council became the Trustee for the Hastings and St Leonards Foreshore Charitable Trust.
Presently GAP can have no fewer than four members and no more than eight. Since 2011 when GAP dealt with one round of grant applications their work has increased with the ‘Events’ grant scheme in 2013-2014. Their work will increase further in June 2020 when they will deal with a new larger grants programme. This means that the panel must be fully staffed.
The Committee thanked officers for organising the interview process and welcomed Nick and Stephanie.
Councillor Forward proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Batsford.
RESOLVED (unanimously):
1. That the Charity Committee approves the appointment of Stephanie Gaunt and Nick Porter to the Grants Advisory Panel with immediate effect.
2. That the Charity Committee give delegated authority to the Chief Legal Officer in consultation with the respective Chairs of the Grants Advisory Panel and Charity Committee to recommend to Charity Committee further appointment from those applicants previously interviewed on a ‘as and when needed’ basis.
Reasons:
The Grants Advisory Panel need to have a full complement of eight members in order to carry out their functions.
