To receive apologies for absence, including notifications of any changes to the membership of the Board.

Apologies for absence were received from the Chairman (Councillor Lewis) who did not attend due to having a pecuniary interest in the matter under consideration and from Councillors Darling (S) and Stocks.

The above Key Decision of the Director of Public Health was called in by Councillors Darling (S), Stocks, Darling (M), Pentney and Doggett.

The reasons for the call-in are attached together with the Record of Decision.

It was reported that the Director of Public Health had rescinded her decision in respect of the HIV Advocacy and Social Care Support contract and therefore the call-in would not be considered.

The above decision of the Mayor was called in by Councillors Barnby, Tyerman, O’Dwyer, Robson and Morey.

The reasons for the call-in are attached together with the Record of Decision.

The Board considered the details of a call-in by five Members of the Council of the decision of the Mayor to grant a lease for an additional piece of land to the tenant of the Inn on the Quay and to recommend to the Chief Financial Officer to allocate part of the funding received as part of the revised lease arrangement towards the provision of alternative toilets in the area.

The Call-in Promoter and two of the Call-in Supporters outlined their reasons for the call-in and the Chairman of Goodrington, Roselands and Hookhills Community Partnership spoke in favour of the call-in.

The Mayor was invited to respond to the points in the call-in and to the questions raised by members of the Board.

Resolved:  that the decision be referred back to the Mayor for reconsideration on the basis that the Board believe that:

(i)         full and detailed plans as to the location and funding of the replacement public toilets should be known before the lease is granted; and

(ii)        as part of the lease negotiations, representations should be made as to the general husbandry of the premises and the quality of service within the restaurant.

(Note:  Prior to consideration of this item it was noted that only the Call-in Promoter and one of the Call-in Supporters were present at the meeting.  In accordance with the Constitution, the Board agreed that the call-in should not be deemed withdrawn and the meeting continued.  During consideration of the item, a second Call-in Supporter arrived at the meeting.)
