Decision Made
That Freeport East Limited be incorporated on the finalised version of the Articles of Association and Members Agreement circulated to the Freeport East Supervisory Board members on 12 October 2022 at 08:55, subject to any minor amendments which are made to these incorporation documents at the Board meeting on 17 October 2022.
Reason for Decision
1. To ensure that in advance of the Freeport East Supervisory Board meeting on 17 October 2022, where the decision to incorporate Freeport East Limited is on the agenda, East Suffolk Council (ESC) has resolved to Freeport East Limited being incorporated on the Articles of Association and Members Agreement as drafted and circulated with the Board papers on 12 October 2022 at 08:55.
2. On 23 August 2022, Councillor Rivett took a Portfolio Holder decision to appoint Councillor Gallant as East Suffolk Council’s Director of Freeport East Limited at the Freeport East Supervisory Board meeting on 26 August 2022. As agreement on the Articles and Members Agreement was unable to be reached at the August Freeport East Supervisory Board meeting, a further Portfolio Holder decision is required for the Leader of the Council to agree the revised incorporation documents at the Freeport East Supervisory Board meeting on 17 October 2022.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
Not to agree to incorporate Freeport East Limited on the Articles of Association and Members Agreement as drafted.
Any Declarations of Interest Declared
None.
Any Dispensation Granted
Yes. The Chairman of the Council has agreed that the decisions above are reasonable in all the circumstances and that the decision be treated as a matter of urgency and be exempt from the call-in process, as the decisions must be made before the meeting of the Freeport East Supervisory Board taking place on 17 October 2022.
