Culture and Communities Committee – 11 September 2018 Page 4 of 4 Item 4.1 - Minutes Culture and Communities Committee 10.00am, Tuesday 19 June 2018 Present Councillors Wilson (Convener), McNeese-Mechan (Vice-Convener), Brown, Ian Campbell, Doran, Graczyk, Howie, Mitchell, Osler, Rae (substituting for Councillor Miller) and Staniforth. 1. Deputation Edinburgh Road Club The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from Matt Jackson (Head of Track Cycling) on behalf of Edinburgh Road Club regarding a proposal to build a new velodrome on the site of the Jack Kane Centre. The main points raised by the deputation were: The proposal for a new velodrome at Hunter’s Hall (the site of the Jack Kane Centre) would be a replacement for the velodrome at the now closed Meadowbank Stadium. The proposed new velodrome would not have a minimum speed requirement as the proposal was to develop a 30 degree track, thus making it more suitable for beginners, young people and people with disabilities, compared to more steeply banked velodromes. The new development would be made of tarmac, rather than wood (like Meadowbank), making it useable for a much greater amount of time. This proposal represented an opportunity to maintain Edinburgh’s position as a centre for excellence for track cycling. The Convener thanked the deputation and invited them to remain for the Committee’s consideration of the report by the Executive Director of Resources. 2. Development at the Jack Kane Centre – Motion by Councillor Staniforth The following motion by Councillor Staniforth was submitted in terms of Standing Order 16: “Committee: 1) Notes that the project to build 3G pitches, a velodrome and to renovate the Jack Kane centre was delayed. 2) Notes that owing to taking overspill from the closure of the old Meadowbank Stadium it is not possible to renovate Hunters Hall in the short term. 3) Notes that does not prevent development of the 3G pitches or the velodrome. 4) Notes that section 75 funding is sufficient for the immediate development of the 3G pitches and that if they are to be developed this year the project must be finished by winter and is likely to take around 12 weeks. 5) Therefore resolves that a report will be delivered to committee within one cycle giving options for immediate development at the Jack Kane site.” - Moved by Councillor Staniforth, seconded by Councillor Osler. Decision 1) To note the motion had been amended to replace “Hunter’s Hall” with “Jack Kane” in paragraph 2 and to replace “Jack Kane” with “Hunter’s Hall” in paragraph 5. 2) To approve the adjusted motion by Councillor Staniforth. 3. Deputation Underbelly Ltd/Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Ambassadors Programme The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from Ed Bartlam (Director) on behalf of Underbelly Ltd, and Sarah Holding, Jimmy Stewart and Tony Anderson, volunteers who took part in Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Ambassadors Programme, in relation to the report at Item 7.2 – Code of Practice on the Use of Volunteers at Festivals and Events. The main points raised by the deputation were: This was the first year that Underbelly Ltd had the contract for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay and attracted just under 166,000 attendees. Underbelly employed just under 3,000 people for the event, all on National Living Wage or more. The Ambassadors Programme was the first volunteer scheme that Underbelly have used. The 55 volunteers did not replace any paid jobs at the Festival. Experiences of the Ambassadors Programme were overwhelmingly positive. The Convener thanked the deputation and invited them to remain for the Committee’s consideration of the report by the Executive Director of Resources. 4. Code of Practice on the Use of Volunteers at Festivals and Events A proposed Code of Conduct on the Use of Volunteers at Festivals and Events was presented. The Code of Conduct had been developed with Festivals Culture and Communities Committee – 19 June 2018 Page 2 of 11 Edinburgh and the 11 major Festivals to ensure that a consistent code of practice could be proposed across all events and Festivals. It combined existing volunteering policies from across the Festivals and aligned them with good practice guidelines from Volunteer Edinburgh and Volunteer Scotland. Decision 1) To approve the Code of Conduct.
