Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

The Chief Executive introduced the Theatr Clwyd – Constitutional Arrangements report which sought approval of the constitutional and governance arrangements for the Theatr.

            The draft updated Terms of Reference was appended to the report.

            The Chief Executive welcomed Liam Evans-Ford to the meeting.  Mr Evans-Ford explained that this was the second step in the review of the governance arrangements of the Theatr, with this stage offering clarity and assurance.  It also outlined how the Theatr worked with the Production companies and the work of the two sub-committees.

            Councillor Attridge moved an amendment to the report, in that the Chair of the Theatr Clwyd Board should be a County Councillor.  Following responses given by Councillors Butler and Bithell, Councillor Attridge withdrew his amendment.

            The Chief Executive commented on the recent successful production of “The Assassination of Katie Hopkins” which had won the UK Theatre Award for the Best New Musical.  This would be recognised at a future meeting of County Council.

RESOLVED:

That the recommendations of the Theatr Clwyd Board for its constitutional and governance arrangements be approved.
