Minutes:
The Committee considered the urgent report of Mr Mike Evans, Leisure Manager on the beetle infestation in the Play Barn building at the Kent Life visitor attraction.
Mr Evans explained that the reason for urgency was that in order to cause minimum disruption to the Kent Life Play Barn the work should be carried out in January when the venue is normally open weekends only.
It was noted that the quotation did not include the dismantling and re-installation of the play equipment, or the safety inspection that needed to take place once the equipment was re-installed.
Mr David Guest, Property Officer confirmed that the quotation included treatment to all the beams in the barn, although at the time of quoting, the Company could not access all areas due to the play equipment being in place.
In order to make an informed decision, the Committee felt that a full schedule of works needed to be produced and broken down into costings and then emailed to Members of the Committee before a decision could be taken. It was suggested that if there were any representations against the works then the work should not be undertaken.
RESOLVED: That
1.
A full schedule of works be undertaken, including
costings, and circulated to all members of the Committee for
comments. Any comments by members of
the Committee should be sent to the Chairman and
Vice-Chairman.
2. The Head of Regeneration and Economic Development be given delegated authority, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Committee, to authorise the necessary expenditure to enable the works to be undertaken.
Voting: Unanimous
