Report DRR16/039

Members considered Mytime Active’s (Mytime) Investment Fund proposals for 2016-17.  Mytime were seeking approval for the 2016/17 Investment Fund to be released to deliver the schemes as detailed in the report.

The Chairman emphasised that in accordance with contractual arrangements, the Council was obligated to release the Investment Fund for 2016/17, provided the Portfolio Holder was satisfied with Mytime’s proposals.  At the PDS meeting on 27 October 2015, Mytime submitted its Annual Report for 2014/15 which included proposals for the Investment Fund for 2016/17.  At that time, the Portfolio Holder considered part of the proposals were not suitable for funding and declined to release the monies.  Since then, Mytime had amended the proposals as required by the Portfolio Holder and Members were satisfied with these.

As a member of Mytime Active, Councillor Michael reported that having paid a substantial amount of money to renew her membership, she would like part of the funding to be spent on upgrading the lockers situated on the dry side area at The Spa, Beckenham and for the hand driers in the ladies’ facilities to be repaired.  This was noted by the Chief Executive of Mytime, Marg Mayne, who was in attendance at the meeting.

RESOLVED that the report be noted and the Portfolio Holder be recommended to agree to release the 2016/17 (Year 13) Investment Fund to Mytime to deliver the projects proposed in the report.
