Decision details
PH 15 2018 - TDY ASO 2019
Decision Maker: Director of Public Health
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Through DMBCs existing cycling partnership
with Welcome to Yorkshire (WTY), Doncaster has been selected as a
host town for the 2019 Tour De Yorkshire (TDY) event (race start).
Funding is required to cover the cost of the Amaury Sport
Organisation (ASO) Host Free' and a delivery budget.
Decision:
To draw down £150k from the Service
Transformation Fund for the Tour De Yorkshire 2019, required
for:-
ASO Host fee (100k)
Delivery budget, race start (50k)
Alternative options considered:
As ASO own the rights for TDY and are sole
provider of the race, not approving budget allocations to pay the
hosting and licence fees will result in Doncaster having to decline
and forfeit the opportunity to host TDY in 2019.
The delivery budget ensures DMBC is able to carry out a safe and
enjoyable event for the Borough, staff and Local Communities. Not
providing a delivery budget would not enable us to fulfil our
health and safety requirements or be able to manage community
elements of the race.
