Report of the Town Clerk and the Chamberlain.

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk and the Chamberlain, setting out the Annual Governance Statement.  Members found the format, showing track changes, very helpful.  They made one recommendation in respect of paragraphs 27 and 28; suggesting they reflect the City of London Corporation’s Services Based Review and other value for money/efficiency drives more pro-actively, as expressed within paragraph 29.

RESOLVED, that:

1. The Annual Governance Statement (AGS), be approved for signature by the Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee and the Town Clerk and Chief Executive;
2. the AGS be published alongside the 2014/15 City Fund and Pension Funds Statement of Accounts;
3. the future developments to improve the governance framework be noted; and
4. authority be delegated to the Town Clerkand Chief Executive, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of this Committee, to amend the AGS for any significant events or developments relating to the governance arrangements that occur prior to the date on which the Statement of Accounts is signed by the Chamberlain.
