The “Make it York” shareholders committee has finally published the agenda for its meeting on Monday.
That is only two working days before the meeting is due to start.
It gives residents who want to address the meeting only 24 hours to register to speak.
Supporters of retaining the Christmas carousel ride in Parliament Street were hoping to make their case to the panel of 5 Councillors although the short notice may deter them (they will be making representation to the full council meeting later in the week anyway)
There are only two items on the agenda.
Performance out-turn April to September 2015 click to enlarge
Financial figures show income £82,000 below budget in the period up to July.
Expenditure is lower so the company was in balance at that early stage of the year. The out turn disguises a significant shortfall in Shambles market rent payments.
The second item relates to performance against target.
The Council continues to be sharply critcised for failing to set KPIs for the events programme and the Shambles Market activities that MIY now supervises.
In any event, most of the first quarter indicators are blank. Even the traditional tourism monitors are largely missing.
So will the committee see through the prevarication and challenge the arrogant way that this organisation has gone about its business since April?
We will wait and see.
