Agenda and minutes

None received.

The minutes of the meeting held on 4^th October 2021 were confirmed as an accurate record.

The Finance Manager presented the final accounts for the year end 2021.

In doing so, it was noted that the Finance Manager would arrange a meeting with the Roger Edwards Trust, in the summer of 2022, to discuss its involvement with the Monmouthshire Farm School Endowment Trust, going forward.

We resolved to approve the accounts.

We excluded the press and public from the meeting during consideration of the following item of business in accordance with Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended, on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 12 and 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act.

We considered six applications received against the Trust Fund, presented on behalf of the Chief Officer for Children and Young People.

The Trust resolved:

(i)            that awards be made to the six applicants, as agreed, subject to appropriate receipts and evidence of attendance being received;

(ii)           that Monmouthshire County Council Finance officers liaise with some of the applicants to discuss restrictions on spending in respect of some items of equipment applied for, as well as discussing the software requirements for one of the applicants.

The next meeting of the Monmouthshire Farm School Endowment Trust  is scheduled to be held on Monday 18th July 2022 at 11.00am. However, as this meeting is likely to clash with the Royal Welsh Show, some Trustees might not be able to attend the meeting.

We resolved that the Democratic Services Officer investigates an alternative date in July 2022 for the next meeting of the Monmouthshire Farm School Endowment Trust.
