Community Updates

To receive, for information, the updates listed below (to be provided at the meeting):

 

·           TEMPT (Tadcaster Events Management Project Team)

·           Future Tadcaster Communications Strategy

·           Report from Tadcaster Arts Festival

Minutes:

The Board received updates on TEMPT (Tadcaster Events Management Project Team) plans for 2019, the future Tadcaster Communications Strategy for Tadcaster Today and a report on the Tadcaster Arts Festival 2018.

 

TEMPT 2019

 

The Board were informed about the three highlight events that were planned for 2019; the heritage day and lantern festival in February 2019, the soapbox challenge in June 2019 and the road cycling championships and accompanying community events in September 2019.

 

Tadcaster Today Future Communications Strategy

 

The Board were presented with a draft options paper regarding the future of the Tadcaster Today magazine, which the CEF had part-funded in the past few years.

 

The Board discussed the options put forward in the draft options report and expressed varying opinions about how and if the magazine should be funded and produced in the future. Some Board Members felt that the publication was a useful way to communicate with local residents in Tadcaster and the surrounding villages; other Board Members were of the opinion that the magazine was not as effective as it should be.

 

The Board felt that the matter required further consideration at the next meeting in January 2019, and asked that more information and further costings of the options put forward in the draft report.

 

Tadcaster Arts Festival

 

The Board were informed that the Tadcaster Arts Festival would not take place in 2019 due to the cycling events occurring in the town in September; the cycling trials and any related community events in Tadcaster to support them would take a great deal of planning and would not leave enough time to also run the Tadcaster Arts Festival.

 

RESOLVED:

That the report on the future communications strategy for Tadcaster Today magazine be brought back to the next Board meeting of the Tadcaster and Villages CEF in January 2019, and that additional information and costings as to the options for the future of the magazine be included in the report.

Funding Applications pdf icon PDF 156 KB

To consider the attached applications for funding using the Funding Framework; Board members are required to refer to the Funding Framework when considering applications.

Minutes:

The Board considered the funding application that had been submitted with the agenda.

 

27.1

Tadcaster PCC (the Parochial Church Council of St Mary's Church, Tadcaster, 'Providing flexible seating and tables for St Mary's Church', £4,000 pdf icon PDF 385 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Board considered the application for £4,000 for flexible seating and tables for St Mary’s Church, Tadcaster.

 

Sue Sheriff, applicant, introduced the application to the Board and then left the meeting.

 

The Board were supportive of the application and agreed that it met the requirements of the funding framework. Board Members acknowledged the restrictions of the church in finding suitable seating due to its Grade II Listed status. It was hoped that the new seating would allow the church to use space more flexibly and efficiently, and allow better access for more community groups and organisations.

 

The Board acknowledged that the funding requested was £4,000, but that there was only £2,473.10 left in the CEF budget for 2018-19. The Board agreed to fund the whole amount, but to split it between the 2018-19 and 2019-20 budgets in two lots of £2,000.

 

RESOLVED:

i.              To recommend that a grant of £4,000 for flexible seating at St Mary’s Church, Tadcaster be approved, as outlined in the application.

 

ii.            That the payment of the grant be split over the 2018-19 and 2019-20 budgets as two lots of £2,000.

 

NOTE ADDED FOLLOWING THE MEETING: The recommendation by the Board was to award the full £4,000 across the 2018-19 and 2019-20 financial years, as detailed above. The Tadcaster and Rural CEF budget was £2,473.10 remaining for the 2018-19 financial year.

 

Following the usual process, the decision was sent for final approval by the Head of Community, Partnerships and Customers. The Board were subsequently informed that because the budget setting process for the next financial year (2019-20) had not been before Council, and was therefore not confirmed, it was not within their gift to be able to commit funding for the next financial year. As such the Board and applicant were asked to consider two options moving forward:

 

-        To award £2,000 only, securing part funding. The church would need to consider how else to can raise the remaining funds for the seating; or

 

-        Delay consideration of the application and re-submit in the next financial year 2019-20. Whilst there would be a delay, this would offer the ability to honour the full grant amount and remain within funding framework guidelines.

 

It was agreed by the applicant and the Board that the church would accept an award of £2,000 part funding in 2018-19.
