Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk regarding the Police Property Act Fund.  The report recommended a fixed proportion of the fund (based on a proportion of the total sum) be donated to charitable causes and that the opportunity be made available to the same charity over consecutive years.

The Committee were informed that paragraph 7 of the report and point 8 in Appendix A would be amended to reflect that up to of 75% of the balance would be distributed to charitable causes and this was not set at 75% as the report suggested.

RESOLVED – That,

a)    up to 75% of the Police Property Act Fund balance be donated to charitable causes on an annual basis;

b)    the amount granted to individual charities be increased from £1000 to £2500 and that this be formalised into the Criteria for Disbursement; and

c)    Members be provided with the opportunity to donate to the same charity in consecutive years.
