Governance Review

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk in respect of Lord Lisvane’s Review of the City of London Corporation’s Governance.

 

The Chair noted that extensive Member engagement would be of critical importance in taking this forward and it was agreed that Sheriff Christopher Hayward should be asked to take the lead on Member engagement. Sheriff Hayward agreed to take on this responsibility and advised that a schedule of engagement sessions was being planned to take place over the coming months, with two sessions on each tranche of the Review to allow for every Member to participate. With relation to the proposed timescales within the report, it was felt that it would be prudent to allow for a more considered and longer time period, so as to ensure that the wide engagement sought could be facilitated; however, within this, there would doubtless be a number of areas in which priority areas or “quick wins” could be progressed.

 

RESOLVED: That:-

1.         Lord Lisvane’s Governance Review report be received.

2.         Sheriff Christopher Hayward be asked to lead on wider Member engagement in taking the report forward.

3.         The Resource Allocation Sub-Committee be re-confirmed as the reference sub-committee for the Governance Review and asked to go through the report in detail.

4.         Formal thanks be placed on record to Lord Lisvane for his efforts in conducting the Review.
