Issue - meetings

A copy of the Trustee’s Report and Financial Statement for the Artrix Centre for 2006/07, which included a review of the activities and performance of the Centre, together with progress to date on the establishment of a service level agreement with their Operating Trust, was submitted.

RESOLVED

(a)       that the contents of the report be noted;

(b)       that the draft service level agreement, when completed, be considered                     by the Board following submission to the Leader’s Group but prior to consideration by the Cabinet; and

(c)        that the Trustees be advised that the Board expressed some concern      over the viability of the cinema operations (costs/attendances).

RECOMMENDED that Councillor Mrs. J. M. L. A. Griffiths, as both relevant Portfolio Holder and a Trustee of the Bromsgrove Arts Centre Operating Trust, hold discussions with relevant representatives of the North East Worcestershire (NEW) College, to enquire whether the College would also be willing to set up a service level agreement with the Artrix along similar lines to that of the Council.
