1.2 That henceforward the second round of grants be for events June - March rather than September - March.
1.3 That the criteria for applications be altered as follows:
a) The 2-4-1 Business Partnership Scheme currently allows organisations to apply for up to 2 x £500 of match funding per financial year. We believe this should be changed to allow up to 3 applications per year to increase the impact and profile of the scheme.
b) To alter the Arts Activity application form to take into account any Business Partnership applications rather than having a separate form, unless the application is after the event.
c) That an application with an email signature be accepted as long as a hard copy reference with a signature is submitted by the deadline.
d) That the current conditions form completed by organisations be amended to give clearer information for the payment of grants and greater weighting to the Publicity Conditions alongside the Financial Conditions.
e) That any HCC organisations including schools be allowed to apply for Arts Activity and Business Partnership funding as long as the activity can be shown to be in addition to any curriculum work normally undertaken and delivers added value that the school or site could not otherwise deliver.
2. Reason for the decision
2.1 To support small scale arts activities serving Hampshire people and to deliver the aims of the Corporate Strategy by maximising wellbeing, particularly for young people, through participation in high quality arts events and contributing to economic prosperity by employing local artists or generating income via ticket sales and so on.
3. Other options considered and rejected
3.1 - making no awards
- making increased awards.
- making decreased awards.

4.1 Conflicts of interest declared by the decision maker:
None
4.2 Conflicts of interest declared by other Executive Members consulted:
None
5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee

6. Reason(s) for the matter being dealt with if urgent
