Joint report of the Deputy Town Clerk and Chamberlain.

The Chamberlain gave a brief overview of four reports that the Efficiency Board had identified for consideration by the Sub Committee due to hitting various triggers.

He then invited the Sub Committee to identify any areas they feel specific work should be undertaken.

Members were keen for Officers to review and report back on Item 50 (“Ask your staff for more sensible savings ideas”) of the Department for Communities and Local Government’s recent publication ‘50 Ways to Save’ (Appendix E of the report). In particular, Members requested that Officers review and report back on the incentives offered to staff who suggest good ideas through the City Corporation’s staff suggestion scheme and also the level of uptake.

RESOLVED: That –

      i.        the report be received; and

     ii.        further work should be undertaken in relation to the City Corporation’s staff suggestion scheme and reported back to the Sub Committee.
