Dear Ms Logan,

Please see below for the response to your FOI request and three
questions in relation to Percent for Art policies and funds.

- The Council does not have a developer contribution policy regarding
Percent for Art. Therefore no monies have been collected under such a
policy.

- The Council accounts for, and ring fences any developer contributions
received as required by the relevant legal agreement. The management of
these accounts is delegated to Council officers. However, as there is no
Percent for Art policy there are no specific accounting procedures
relating to such a policy.

- In response to your third question the answer is no.

Regards

David Cooper
