3
There was submitted a report by the Chief Executive relative to applications received for Local Partnership grant funding.  

The report intimated that at previous meetings of this Partnership five local priorities had been agreed: Community Assets, What’s on in Foxbar, Brediland & Glenburn, Public safety and road safety, Isolation and loneliness, and Play facilities.  Each application had been assessed and Appendix 1 to the report listed applications with a clear reference to the local priorities.  Appendix 2 to the report listed applications with a partial or no reference to the local priorities.

The total sum available for disbursement was £52,454.

Provost Cameron proposed that funding should not be provided to meet the cost of wages.  This was agreed.

Councillor Burns proposed that any award in respect of application FR1168 from Balanced Coaching Limited be made subject to clarification of the status of the business as a social enterprise/not-for-profit agency.  This was agreed.

Councillor MacFarlane proposed that applications FR1141 from Lamont Farm and FR1159 from Paisley & District Battalion Boys’ Brigade be diverted to Celebrating Renfrewshire for consideration of an award via community participation.  This was agreed.

It was intimated that two applications for funding from Stronger Communities Glenburn were awaited and it was proposed that £8,000 be ringfenced for consideration of these applications at a future meeting to be arranged for this purpose once the applications were received.  This was agreed.

Subject to the above decisions, Councillor MacFarlane proposed that the remaining applications with a clear reference to the local priorities as listed at Appendix 1 be awarded the amount requested up to a maximum of £4,000 and that any funds remaining thereafter be disbursed equally between the applications listed at Appendix 2. This was agreed.
