5. FINANCE REPORT
David Mosley talked through the attached cash flow and spread sheet and was delighted to advise that once again we have spent on target at £3,676,000 including VAT.
David congratulated the working groups and the staff team for this splendid effort.
Mark expressed his thanks to David for his work and that of the finance team in achieving the target.
6. TRIDENT LEGACY FUND REPORTS
David Mosley talked through the paper which set out the current balances held by the Charity as at the 31st March 2008 which amount to £1,589,400.
Cash flow projections including rental income, bank interest and predicted property deals indicate a projected cash flow of £5,676,400 as at 31st March 2009.
Ian Greenwood thanked David Mosley for the report but reminded Directors that they shouldn't start spending the £5.676 million just yet as there are three property deals on the Reyner, Lister and Dunoon House sites which are still being negotiated in a difficult market.
7. BRADFORD TRIDENT TRADING UPDATE (CONFIDENTIAL)
David Mosley talked through the paper.
8. MANCHESTER ROAD BRIDGE
Mark talked through the paper and explained why we need delegated approval to spend up to £60,000 from the legacy funding towards the building of the proposed new Manchester Road Bridge.
Vipin asked who is filling the other gaps in the funding.
Judith responded by saying that the funding from Sustrans, Bradford Council and Bradford Trident are guaranteed sources.
Ian Greenwood commented that the group are still pursuing Yorkshire Forward and the Council for additional monies and there is also the possibility that the bridge could be re designed in order to save costs.
Taj Salam commented that purchase of the land sounds a good idea and makes sense, especially as the land will be owned by Trident and could be used for another purpose if for some unfortunate reason the bridge project does not proceed.
It was proposed by Vipin Joshi and seconded by Zamurrad Khan with all Directors in favour with the exception of Isa Khan that the Chair and Executive Officers have delegated power to spend up to £60k in order to acquire the additional land for the proposed new Manchester Road Bridge.
