40/10 NEWBY AND SCALBY COMMUNITY HALL TRUSTEESHIP
Further to minute 35/10.1(i) of the last meeting, the Council was addressed by Mr R Weightman of Coast and Moors Voluntary Action concerning the way forward for the handover of the Trusteeship. A report by the Clerk and RFO was also considered which set out a possible course of action. Mr Weigtman indicated that he would take further advice from Rural Action Yorkshire and to assist their consideration would forward them a copy of the clerk and RFO’s report. Mr Weightman hoped to report further together with a time frame for the Trusteeship handover by the next Council meeting which he would attend. It was RESOLVED that:
- consideration of this matter be deferred to the next meeting to enable Mr Weightman to report further
- an item be included on the agenda for the next meeting inviting interest from those Councillors who wish to become trustees under the new Trusteeship
- notwithstanding the original intention to appoint four members of the community as new Trustees, it be recommended to the next meeting that the seven members of the public who have expressed an interest in becoming Trustees should be appointed.
There being no further business on the agenda the Chairman declared the meeting closed at 7:40 pm
