RESOLVED that: -
(a) the Chair of the Management Committee’s term of office be extended until the transfer of the Museum to the new sole trustee is completed or for a further 3 years (whichever is soonest) to provide vital continuity at the pivotal moment in the process of externalisation.
(b) it is noted that as soon as Vesting Day is achieved the Management Committee will cease to exist and the appointment will be concluded; and
(c) it is noted that this decision will not set any precedent for this or any other BCP Council Committee.
Voting: Unanimous
Portfolio Holder: Customer, Communications and Culture
Reason
The externalisation of the Russell-Cotes is on track to be achieved this financial year, subject to the parliamentary timetable. This long and complex project would be put at risk by changing a key individual at this moment.
