Third Sector Grants - Second Tranche PDF 73 KB Report by Executive Director – Community Services Minutes: The Committee considered a report which provided an update
on the Third Sector Grants awarded to the Helensburgh
Highland Games Committee and the Rosneath Highland Games Committee in the first
round of funding in April 2015. Councillor Trail entered the meeting at 9.15a.m. Motion 1.1
That
the Area Committee note the conditions detailed in the Council’s contract for
Third Sector Grants in that “unspent funds” for the purpose stated in the
application are returned to the Council. 1.2
That
the Area Committee recommends that the Policy and Resources Committee:- 1.2.1
Recognise
the exceptional weather circumstances that resulted in the cancellation of the
entire Helensburgh Highland Games and partial abandonment of the Rosneath
Highland Games and agrees:- (a) that
grant recipients provide evidence to the council of the costs incurred due to
losses, to enable the amount of “unspent grant” to be determined in each case; (b) a
variation to the contract with both community organisations to allow them to
carry forward these ‘unspent grant’ funds to 2016/17; (c) the
organisation provide an assurance that the event is planned to take place in
2016/17. In the event that the
organisation cannot provide an assurance, that ‘unspent grant’ is refunded. 1.2.2 Allow
the Area Committee to carry forward any Third Sector Grant balances in excess
of the 10% of the total available. 1.3
That
officers provide a report in December on the final determined sum of ‘unspent
grants’ carried forward by both organisations. 1.4
That
both organisations are eligible to apply for a grant for 2016/17, but any
‘unspent grant’ brought forward from 2015/16 (in 1.21a above) would be deducted
from the eligible amount available in 2016/17 for those organisations. Moved by Councillor Mulvaney seconded by Councillor
Ellen Morton. Amendment The Area Committee recommends
to the Policy and Resources Committee that Helensburgh and Rosneath Highland
Games Committees are requested to return the balance of their grants awarded

Motion was carried by 5 votes to 3 and the Committee resolved
