RESOLVED

1.  To recommend to Council that the Charitable Trust Board’s terms of reference are amended as detailed in Appendix A to permit the following:

b.  That urgent works required under health and safety legislation be delegated to the Lead Officer to action promptly (as detailed in Schedule 1 & 2 of Appendix A).

2.  That the Terms of reference (TOR) of the Charitable Trust Board are amended so as to move the land, Free Fields (Rainbow Woods) into Schedule 1 of the Board’s Terms of Reference so that its responsibilities as trustee are delegated to the Board, now that it has been established that this is a trust for which the Council is sole corporate trustee.
