Notes: 1. T h e Planning and Environment Committee supports the principle of the transfer of the administration of the
properties to the Committee as it is of the view that the Department of Property Services has the necessary expertise to administer the properties in line with best practices. However, the Committee is concerned with the possibility of arrears of maintenance as it does not have the necessary funding to cover such costs. Therefore, the Committee could only assume responsibility for the properties on the basis that any liability not funded from within the existing rental figures would be underwritten by the Finance and Economics Committee.
2 . T he Finance and Economics Committee supports the proposed transfer of administration of the said
properties.
REPORT
Introduction
The Tourism Committee currently administers a portfolio of land and buildings used for the operation of cafes, which are tenanted on three-year leases and are due to end on 24th December 2000.
The portfolio
| Detail | Current rental |
Le Braye Café, St. Ouen | Café and seating area | £14,612 |
Driftwood Café, Archirondel | Café and seating area | £6,454 |
Old Station Café, Victoria Avenue | Café and seating area | £6,337 |
First Tower Café, First Tower | Café and seating area | £5,045 |
Plemont Café, Plemont | Café flat and seating area | £5,000 |
Café, Casino, Greve de Lecq | Café and seating area | £3,520 |
Colleens Café, Greve de Lecq | Site | £3,520 |
| Café, and seating area | £3,500 |
TOTAL |
| £47,988 |
The Tourism Committee does not have all the necessary expertise to administer such properties as listed above, but works closely with the Department of Property Services to formulate leases and set rentals and procure the services of contractors to undertake maintenance /improvement works.
The administration of such properties is not considered a core activity of the Tourism Committee, and responsibility would be more appropriately placed with the Planning and Environment Committee.
On transfer of the portfolio, the Tourism Committee would not only lose a gross income of £47,988, but also the responsibility for maintenance. This is considered to be in the region of £15,000 per annum. Jersey Tourism therefore needs an increase in cash limits of £330,00 to compensate for the transfer of income and to maintain its current budget position.
