Agenda item - Chair's Communications

109.1  The Chair gave the following communication:

I’d like to inform those present that this meeting will be webcast live and will be capable of repeated viewing.

I’ve been asked to provide an update on the proposals to move the Royal Pavilion & Museums into Trust in July of this year following the decision made by the January ROG Committee.   The decision of the January committee remains in place until and unless a different decision is made by the Committee. However, implementation of the decision has been delayed in order to allow for a further and external review of the options. The change that has been made relates to the mechanism for implementation, to allow time for an external review.  Officers will be bringing an update report to the next meeting of this Committee which will provide further information on the external review of options and seek agreement for the revised timetable which will allow for the external review of the options.
