MANAGEMENT
The Group will set up a management group, initially made up of four town councillors but with the ability to co-opt onto the group other individuals with specific skills. The initial management group will consist of Cllr Owen James Mayor who will chair any meetings, group treasurer Cllr Edward Thomas, Cllr Christoph Fischer and Cllr Lesley Prosser. These meetings will be held via Zoom or any other electronic means such as email, phone calls etc. Records of any decisions will be made and conveyed to volunteers and other town councillors as necessary.
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
- Finance obtained by the group will be used solely for the stated aims and objectives of the group.
- Any bank accounts operated by the group will be in the name of Llandeilo Covid 19 Community Group.
- All cheques issued will be signed by any two of the named officers of the management group.
- The treasurer will ensure accurate records and produce a statement of account, which should be audited. The account, after audit, should be published.
- The group may be disbanded once the need for this type of support is no longer needed. Any residual funds will be used for charitable purposes as deemed by the Management Group.
