Resolution Open
Space procedure in respect of prior notification and inspection had not been
followed, in 2006, in respect of the Football Club £10k shortfall.
The Open Space’s Officer reported that funding for projects could
not retrospectively be sourced from Open Space Funding. NATC 2006 legal costs in respect of the
Steven’s case had depleted reserves and in consequence NATC did not have the
financial resources available to fund the Football Club £10k shortfall. Notice Board Resolution The
resolution to install a notice board at a cost of £950 was deferred in order
to investigate other alterative suppliers. Tennis Club Resolution The
resolution to stand guarantor for the Tennis Loan was discussed. It was suggested that it would be
advantageous to all parties to fund £36k from Open Space Resources and loan
the Tennis Club £18k over 10yrs. This would avoid an on-going payment from
the precept and negate a potential liability against our reserves. A
resolution regarding this matter was deferred to obtain additional
facts. Tourism Resolution: For Full Council to ratify the expenditure
of £2,000 towards the Alresford Pocket Guide. Proposed Cllr. Middleton Seconded Cllr. Cattle
