Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Purpose of report: Provide an update of the key strands of the project. Provide more detail information about project plan and project costs. Provide possible project management and governance structure.

Members are asked to: Depends on progression of discussions with other project partners.

Decision:

RESOLVED: (i)         That the progress made on the Community Stadium to date be noted.

 

                        (ii)        That approval be given to set up a Community Stadium Advisory Group with a political balance of 2:2:1 and that partner organisations be invited to attend.

 

                        (iii)       That Officers be asked to ensure that any governance arrangements for the proposed City of York Sports Village recognise and address the interests of athletes.

 

                        (iv)       That it be agreed that the possible community benefits contained in the report are a good starting point, but that Officers be requested to refine the list further, while taking the opportunity to separate those activities which might be expected to make a positive financial contribution towards meeting the revenue costs of running a stadium from those which would be aimed principally at filling in gaps in public and voluntary service provision in the City.  In doing so, Officers are requested to apply the principles used to test the acceptability of community style activities associated with other stadia elsewhere in the country.

 

                        (v)        That all Council Members be requested to provide Officers with a list of any other community facilities, not listed in the report, which they would wish to see evaluated during the next stage of the project, either at the Monks Cross stadium site or at the participatory sports village site.

 

REASON:      To enable the project to be taken forward by all partners and achieve the objective stated in the Corporate Strategy 2009-2012 to provide high quality sport recreation and other community focused opportunities.
