Decision - Update on Royal Pavilion & Museums Governance

11.1    RESOLVED:

(i)            The Committee revokes its decision taken on 25th January 2018 to move the management of the service to a single cultural trust in one stage rather than two stages with a transfer date of 1st July 2018.

(ii)          The Committee proposes that the management of RPM is transferred to a single purpose trust as set out in the PWC Report 'Royal Pavilion & Museums, Phase 2' 13th December 2016.

(iii)         That a report is brought to this Committee on the 11th October 2018 setting out a plan for the establishment of the single status trust, and that the transfer of the RPM into the management of the trust is completed by the 5th December 2018. The report should include a high level financial plan for the trust and the financial support required from BHCC to support the establishment of the trust, and on-going financial support thereafter.

(iv)         That consultation with the workforce and the Trades Unions is

undertaken urgently, so that should the trust be established it would be with full confidence of all stakeholders.
