1 Community Asset Transfer Request for Land, Erskine Sports Centre (Erskine Arts) Under reference to item 3 of the Minute of the meeting of this Sub-committee held on 28 August 2024 , there was submitted a report by the Chief Executive relative to a Community Asset Transfer request submitted in respect of the transfer of land at Erskine Sport Centre to Erskine Arts. It was noted that the application had previously approved by this Sub- committee subject to the applicant taking the necessary steps to change their Articles of Association to become a two-tier company limited by guarantee and so satisfy the criteria for asset transfer under the legislation. The report advised at section 4.4 that Erskine Arts had voted unanimously in favour of a special resolution to change the organisation’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to become a 2-tier company limited by guarantee and copy of the adopted Articles of Association was attached as an appendix to the report. Councillor Campbell moved: (a) That the change to the legal status of the applicant, as set out in section 4.4 of the report be noted; (b) That approval of the asset transfer request at £1.00 per annum be noted; and (c) That the Head of Economy & Development and the Head of Corporate Governance be authorised to conclude the lease of the asset in accordance with the Act and on such terms as required to protect the Council’s interest. This was agreed unanimously. DECIDED: (a) That the change to the legal status of the applicant, as set out in section 4.4 of the report be noted; (b) That approval of the asset transfer request at £1.00 per annum be noted; and (c) That the Head of Economy & Development and the Head of Corporate Governance be authorised to conclude the lease of the asset in accordance with the Act and on such terms as required to protect the Council’s interest.
