Minutes:

The Board considered a report of the City Surveyor relative to the City Surveyor’s Departmental Quarterly Risk Register Update.

 

Members were advised that the City Bridges related risks were being re-evaluated to better reflect the work of TFL and the City of London Police.  It was noted that the target was currently red but would be corrected as part of the exercise and a cross-departmental approach to management of those risks and future City Bridges related risks adopted.  In respect of SMT 009 – optimise effectiveness and use of the Oracle Property Management System, which was not a bespoke system, it was noted that all had been done to address existing risks and thus the risk had been reduced from 6 (amber) to 4 (green).

 

RESOLVED: - That –

(i)            the report be noted; and

(ii)           the actions taken within the City Surveyor’s Department to effectively monitor and manage risks arising from operations be noted.
