The panel will review and amend officer scores as necessary.
Minutes:
The panel considered the applications, taking into account the report of the grants officer on each application, the presentations from the registered public speakers and site photographs/videos.
David Dodds stepped down from the panel and took no part in the scoring of the application from Thame Town Council.
Richard Pullen stepped down from the panel and took no part in the scoring of the application from Warborough and Shillingford Cricket Club.
Using the scoring matrix set out in the policy, the grant officer’s provisional scores and any additional information received at the meeting, the panel awarded scores for each application.
After discussion, the panel adopted the grants officer’s recommended scores for all applications except for the following:
