Agenda and minutes

There were no declarations of interest.

RESOLVED that the decision record of the meeting held on the 30^th March 2016 be signed as a correct record.

The Executive Board Member considered a report detailing proposed revised criteria for the Welsh Church Fund. It was noted that the Grant Criteria was periodically reviewed to ensure the fund was effectively administered and that any changes to corporate policy and procedures were incorporated.

RESOLVED that the revised criteria for the Welsh Church Fund be approved.

The Executive Board Member considered a report which highlighted the success of Carmarthenshire County Council’s (CCC) Economic Development Division in securing an additional £50,000 funding towards the approved £700,000 Llanelli town centre loan scheme, the purpose of which was to reduce the number of vacant, under-utilised and redundant sites and premises while supporting diversification in Llanelli town centre.

The Welsh Government had awarded the funding on the proviso that it was claimed in full by 25th March 2016 otherwise it would have been lost. It was therefore recommended that the drawing down of the additional £50k and the addition of this funding to the original amount to use for the purpose described within the offer letter be retrospectively approved.

RESOLVED to approve the above recommendation.
