Amendment to TRUST DEED: 14/4/09
The trustees have unanimously resolved that clause 4.6 of the Trust Deed be amended to read:
"The term of appointment of any Trustee shall be four years or such shorter period as may be determined at the time of the Trustee's appointment. Upon termination of appointment at least one year shall elapse before a Trustee is eligible for reappointment as a Trustee."
No objections from members were received regarding this amendment and the amendment was passed. (Recorded in minutes of the meeting of the Arts Promotion Trust Board 14.4.09)
Notes:
The Trust Board has resolved to amend our Trust Deed to increase the Trustee term from three years to four years. The proposed amendment has arisen from difficulty in finding board members and the frustration arising from having to leave the board mid-project because of clause 4.6 of the Trust Deed.
Section 9 of the Trust deed deals with Revocation or Amendments and states:
"9.1 Amendment of Deed
The Terms of the Deed may be altered, added to, rescinded, or otherwise amended at any time by:
(a) a resolution of the Trustees passed with at least two thirds majority PROVIDED THAT no such resolutions passed by the Trustees in accordance with this clause shall be acted upon until the Secretary has given notice to Members and 28 days has elapsed from the notice without receipt of a requisition for a general meeting or if a meeting is requisitioned then the amendment is supported by a majority present at the meeting entitled to vote.
4.6 of the Trust Deed currently reads:
"4.6 Term of Appointment
The term of appointment of any Trustee shall be three years or such shorter period as may be determined at the time of the Trustee's appointment. Upon termination of appointment at least one year shall elapse before a Trustee is eligible for reappointment as a Trustee."
