Minutes:

Resolved unanimously - that the Members of this Court take great pleasure in expressing to:

 

Alderman Dr Andrew Charles Parmley

 

their gratitude and appreciation for the distinguished manner in which he has served as Lord Mayor of the City of London during the past year.

 

Always good-humoured and unfailingly charming, Andrew has been a superb ambassador – not just for the City, but for the entire nation. From Mexico to Nepal, from Glasgow to Blackpool, the Lord Mayor has worked tirelessly both at home and abroad to champion the UK’s financial, legal, educational and professional services.

 

As an educator, the Lord Mayor’s motto of “Educate, Support, Inspire” has provided a fitting theme for his year, and his appointment to the Government’s Apprenticeship Delivery Board is a testament to his endeavours in this area.

 

He has also had the pleasure of hosting many special occasions in Guildhall and Mansion House, including the magnificent State Banquet for His Majesty the King of Spain, which I know will live long in his memory.

 

Andrew’s colleagues on this Court also wish to pay tribute to Wendy, the Lady Mayoress, who has herself undertaken a varied programme with passion and commitment. We express our gratitude for all her contributions.

 

In taking their leave of Andrew, their 689th Lord Mayor, Honourable Members reflect that his has been an exceptional Mayoralty and express our confidence that, after a well-earned rest, he will look back on a unique year with the greatest pleasure, a justifiable pride and immense satisfaction.

Update to the Scheme of Delegations

The Court of Common Council had previously delegated some of its functions to the Planning and Transportation and the Port Health and Environmental Services Committees. To facilitate the administration of these functions, some matters relating to transportation and public realm, town planning, and building control had been further delegated to the Director of the Built Environment and the District Surveyor, as set out in the Scheme of Delegations previously approved by the Court of Common Council.

 

Minor modifications were now required to reflect responsibilities relating to Crossrail and changes to job titles. These were reflected in the revised section of the Scheme of Delegations set out in full in the Appendix to the report, which was presented to the Court of Common Council for consideration and recommended for approval.

 

Resolved – That the revised delegations to the Director of the Built Environment and the District Surveyor, as set out in the Appendix to the report, be approved.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

 

(Ian David Luder, J.P., Alderman)

10 October 2017

Re-appointment of External Member for a Third Term

At its meeting on 9 September 2011, the Court agreed a procedure for appointing

External (Independent) Members to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

Subsequent to this, on 16 January 2014 the Court agreed a variation to this procedure such that it would allow for existing External Members to be appointed for a second term on the Committee.

 

On 8 December 2016, the Court agreed a further variation to permit the appointment of an external Member, Kenneth Ludlam, for a third term. The second term of another existing external Member, Ms Caroline Mawhood, was now due to expire and the Committee wished to reappoint her similarly for a third term.

 

Ms Mawhood had served on the Audit and Risk Management Committee, as an External Member, since its inception in 2011 and her contributions to both the Committee and the Police Performance and Resource Management Sub Committee, on which she also served, as well as the recent Auditor Appointment Panel, had been invaluable. Ms Mawhood had expressed a wish to serve for a third term and the Audit and Risk Management Committee desired to recommend this to the Court.

 

Resolved – That Ms Caroline Mawhood be appointed to the Audit and Risk Management Committee for a third term, expiring in 2021.

Gateway 4b: Windows Replacement & Common Parts Redecorations Programme - Golden Lane, Holloway, Southwark, Dron House, Sydenham Hill, William Blake and Windsor House

Gateway 2 approval had previously been provided for the commissioning of condition surveys across several City of London Housing Estates. This was given to identify areas where repair, refurbishment or replacement of windows or other common parts was required, with recommendations then to be produced for Members’ consideration.

 

These surveys had now been completed and the overall scope of the windows replacement and redecorations programme was significant, given that it covered multiple Estates, with estimated total programme costs of £16,905,452.

 

It was intended that a single design team be appointed to undertake the works across all Estates; however, pursuant to the City Corporation’s project management procedures, whilst works across the vast majority of Estates were to proceed on the regular route, the Golden Lane Estate works would be progressed along the complex route (and thus also be considered by Members at the detailed design stage) due to that Estate’s listed status.

 

It was recommended that the Court’s approval be granted to appoint the design team and to progress the project on the Golden Lane Estate to Gateway 4c to allow the requisite works to be undertaken, and to progress the programme to Gateway 5 on the wider estates at Holloway, Southwark, Dron House, Sydenham Hill, William Blake and Windsor House.

 

Resolved – That approval be given to:-

·         the progression of the programme of works across the Holloway, Southwark, Dron House, Sydenham Hill, William Blake and Windsor House Estates to Gateway 5;

·         the progression of the programme of works at the Golden Lane Estate to Gateway 4c; and,

City of London Cultural Strategy 2018-22

The City of London Corporation’s current cultural strategy was due to expire at the end of 2017. It came into effect during the 2012 Cultural Olympiad but no longer reflected the full extent of the organisation’s activities across arts, culture, heritage and learning or its new and emerging ambitions.

 

Following a successful tender process, Global Cities Limited were appointed in May 2017 to assist the organisation in developing a new cultural strategy and, working with officers, undertook engagement across the City of London Corporation and key partners to inform the new strategy. It was a collaborative document that set an ambitious vision for the organisation over the next five years.

 

The draft strategy was approved by the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee on 4 September 2017 and the Policy and Resources Committee on 16 November 2017. A number of other Committees and Boards which had an interest in the delivery of arts, culture, heritage and learning had also received and fed into its development.

 

The draft strategy, including its two-page executive summary was presented for consideration at Appendix A and the Court was recommended to approve its adoption.

 

Resolved – That the draft City of London Cultural Strategy 2018-22 be approved for adoption.
