The Chair informed members that there was one item of urgent business regarding the Charity of Frances Georgina Cooke (charity no. 266101) re 4 The Circus, Bath. The reason for urgency was the need to nominate additional trustees to support the charity as soon as possible.
Stephen Bird, Head of Heritage Services, explained that the charity requires four trustees and that three trustees are required for a quorum. There is currently only one trustee. The Council is not a sole corporate trustee of this charity and trustees do not have to be councillors.
The Heritage Team have now moved out of the building at 4 The Circus and the Bath Spa University fashion and design courses will be moving out in September. There is currently no lease arrangement in place and Trustees are required to decide the future and possible disposal of the building. A number of options for the building have already been considered and if there were an organisation willing to take it on then this could be discussed by Trustees.
RESOLVED: To request the Head of Heritage Services to advertise the vacancies and to appoint three Trustees to the Frances Georgina Cooke charity in consultation with the Chair of the Charitable Trust Board.
