Minutes:
The Chair explained that he had agreed to consider one item of urgent business at this meeting. Members were asked to give approval for the Council’s Legal Department to act for both the Trust and the Council to finalise the lease for the skate park in Alice Park. This would avoid the Trust incurring any further legal charges. The reason for urgency was that a decision needed to be made prior to the next meeting to enable the lease to be finalised.
The Legal Services Manager explained that the Trust has received independent legal advice regarding the lease for the skate park from VWV Solicitors. The Charity Commission had given approval for the Trust to enter into the lease. The lease must now be registered with the Land Registry and approval was being sought for the Council’s legal team to act on both sides of the transaction.
In response to a question from Cllr Myers, the Chair confirmed that this was purely a process and not a negotiation. He also confirmed that if there were to be any changes to the Heads of Terms then the Sub-Committee would be consulted on these.
RESOLVED:
(1) To agree that the Council’s legal team act for both the Alice Park Trust and the Council to finalise the lease for the skate park in Alice Park.
(2) To delegate authority to the Democratic Services Officer, in consultation with the Chair, to approve the completion of the lease.
