&lt;span xml:lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;The Head of Housing Services
presented a report to advise Members of the heating and hot water
charges for 2010/11 in housing schemes where there are communal
heating systems.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This
report was in response to Members&amp;rsquo; concern that these charges
had recently increased by nearly 25 per cent.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The Head of Housing
explained that the charges for heating/hot water were pooled across
all the schemes.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; There
had been a significant increase in the cost of gas which had
resulted in a significant increase in the heating/hot water
charge.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The previous
contract of November 2007 - October 2009 for gas was bought at a
very good price, when the market value of gas was low.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; When the contract was renegotiated
for the November 2009 contract, gas prices were at a peak, although
this was not known at the time.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The new rates came into effect
during the coldest winter in 30 years, a factor that will have
driven up consumption levels.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The rates for the price of gas are
fixed for 2 years and most housing sites fall within the 37% - 42%
increase in the cost of gas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span xml:lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;Members questioned why there
was an administration charge of 10 per cent and whether this
represented the real cost of the administration service provided to
tenants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span xml:lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;There was a short discussion on
de-pooling the cost of heating.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Members stated that they would be
interested in receiving further information on this but were not
sure that this would be cost effective and that if there was no
cost benefit or incentive to tenants there would not be much point
in pursuing this.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
Members suggested an incentive to keep the cost of energy lower,
may be a better way forward.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Committee received a presentation from the Head of Culture &amp;amp;
Community Development on the developments in St Albans Museums
Service since its Peer Review in June 2009.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; He explained how the light peer
review had enabled the Museum Service to begin developing strong
aims and objectives linked to the Council Vision and its Corporate
District Objectives and that he is keen to incorporate partners
views as well as looking into the future for service delivery by
linking together with the Council&amp;rsquo;s Local Development
Framework, City Vision and Local Strategic Partnership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold; q-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;The
Head of Culture &amp;amp; Community Development outlined some of the
recent achievements of the Museums Service which include: the
Kubrick exhibition; links with the University of Hertfordshire and
the Magna &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Carta&lt;/span&gt; Trust; the
refurbishment of the Town Hall and opening the dungeons to the
public. Members discussed the need to enhance St Albans&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; heritage &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;Members
made the following comments:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

as the Abbey does.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;The Chairman highlighted the need to get
people visiting the museums long term and suggested that this could
be achieved with cross departmental work on public realm aspects
such as clear signposting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;The presentation had been at a very
general level, and there was a need for greater clarity on the
objectives and direction of the strategy and the process and
timetable for developing it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;It would be helpful to circulate the
clause in the lease relating to the possible uses of the
Theatre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;Promoting Museums:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;The Chairman suggested
perhaps having an empty plinth in the city centre which could
display an aspect of the current exhibition in the
museum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;qmargin-left:72.0pt;qtext-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3; tab-stops:list 72.0pt&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;Promotional space &amp;ndash;
Members suggested making use of the window of the Council offices
or the glass bridge that links the Council offices to the Alban
Arena.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;In
response to questions from Members on public engagement, The
Portfolio Holder for Culture and Heritage explained that
&amp;lsquo;champions&amp;rsquo; of the various ages would be invited to
compete against each other for public space.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This would be an open debate on a
Saturday afternoon and would include the public, stakeholders such
as the Civic Society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;The
Portfolio Holder for Culture and Heritage outlined his intention to
consult with all Council Members and Museums staff to develop a
plan of what the Museums Service should be.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This will be undertaken through a
survey and a work shop event.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Based on its findings, a Business
Plan of the next 5 years of the Museums Service would be developed
and presented to this Committee at its meeting of 30 September

stated that the lease on the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt;
ran to 2016.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; It was
hoped that a &amp;pound;500k budget allocation would be borrowed over a
ten year period. The dependence on this allocation would be
gradually reduced so that by the end of year five the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; would be self funding.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This would be demonstrated in a
more detailed business plan in September.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Culture and Heritage Portfolio Holder
proposed that the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; would
supplement the live performances with art house and digital film,
theatre workshops and live feeds of sport or plays.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The venue could have both business
and social uses.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The
Chairman voiced concern that the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; would be showing films and competing with
Odeon &amp;ndash; which local people have raised &amp;pound;1million to
secure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Portfolio Holder assured the Committee
that the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;programme&lt;/span&gt; of events at the
&lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; would be complementary to the
existing theatre and future Odeon project.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; He stated that the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; had worked with the other theatres in the
area for the last 6 years to ensure that live performances are not
duplicated and intend to work with the Cinema in the same
way.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Members enquired whether the lease had
specified that the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; be used for
arts purpose.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The
Portfolio Holder responded that the lease specified that the
building be used for recreational purposes and offered to email
members the lease clause.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;The
Chairman requested a further response to the following two
concerns:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;qmargin-left:72.0pt;qtext-indent:-36.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;(&lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;span style=&quot;mso-tab-count:1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
The issue of whether the &lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; Arts
Theatre would be in competition with the Odeon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;qmargin-left:72.0pt;qtext-indent:-36.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6; tab-stops:list 72.0pt&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;
(ii)&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt \&quot;Times New Roman\&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;How flexible is the space
for alternative revenue streams such as conference facilities,
internet caf&amp;eacute; or museum space in the event that the
&lt;span class=&quot;SpellE&quot;&gt;Maltings&lt;/span&gt; Arts Theatre does not secure
the predicted foot fall.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial&quot;&gt;It was
agreed that a response to these points would be incorporated in the
report to Cabinet in September.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The call in discussion would be at
the May meeting of the Committee.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; This would be an opportunity for
members to input further into the development of the business
plan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
