Integrated Waste Management Services Contract - Acquisition of Head Lease at Newhaven Waste Site [Exempt category 3]
Report of the Interim Director of Finance & Resources (copy to be circulated to Members Only) Minutes: 177.1 The meeting considered a joint report of the Interim Director of Finance & Resources and the Director of Environment that explained the recent changes in circumstances that had created an opportunity to enlarge both East Sussex County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council’s interest in the Newhaven Waste Site. As compared with the current lease approved by the Policy & Resources Committee at its meeting on 27th June 2007, there was potential for Cabinet to authorise acquisition of a longer lease in the site (for copy see minute book).
177.2 The Cabinet noted that the item had been published in the Council’s Forward Plan on 24th February 2009. This had been the first opportunity to do so after the Council had become aware of the proposal. A decision had been required to be taken by 3rd March 2009. This had meant that it would have been impracticable to defer the decision. The procedures that had been required under Access to Information Procedure Rule 16 – General Exception – had been followed.
177.3 RESOLVED - The recommendations were agreed as per the report. |
