To confirm as a correct record the minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 19 September 2019.

The minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 9 September were confirmed as a correct record subject to the following amendment (in bold) to the report attached to the minutes:

The Chairman of the Board invited Councillor Kennedy to present her report, which set out a number of questions.  The Interim Director of Place, provided responses to the questions that he could and referred to email correspondence from the officers monitoring the fund, and undertook to provide answers to remaining questions to Councillor Kennedy. The Board was concerned at the level of discretion being applied to the award, giving the impression that the contract wasn’t being complied with.  This was further compounded by what Members considered to be a lack of communication and delays in the provision of information relating to the award of LRF funding.
