2. Barbican CCTV

In response to a question concerning delays to the project, the Commissioner advised that a procurement process needed to take place before an implementation date could be identified but was on track with the project timetable which was provided to all Members at the previous meeting.

4. Police Pensions Sub-Committee

Alderman Luder, Chairman of the Police Pensions Sub-Committee, reported that an issue regarding the payment of expenses for one of the Scheme Member representatives appointed at the last meeting.

While the payment of ‘reasonable travel expenses’ would be possible, the Scheme Member appointed lived in France and had indicated that he would only be prepared to attend meetings if the full cost of his travel expense were met.

Alderman Luder subsequently recommended that another Scheme Member representative would need to be appointed, and also that that both the Commissioner and himself be given delegated authority to appoint members to the two vacancies.

The Commissioner also undertook to promote the Scheme Member vacancies at future events involving retired Police officers.

RESOLVED – That

1)            A replacement Scheme Member representative be advertised for; and

2)            The Commissioner and Alderman Luder, Chairman of the Police Pensions Sub-Committee, be given delegated authority to make appointments to the two scheme member vacancies.
