Report of the Town Clerk.

Members considered a report of the Town Clerk on the annual review of the Board’s terms of reference and frequency of meetings.

A number of Members noted that the current terms of reference seemingly granted the Board wide responsibilities without control over corresponding budgets. Following discussion it was agreed that the current terms of reference be approved but that a more in-depth review take place ahead of the 2018/19 iteration.

Members agreed the principle of five meetings per year provided meetings were distributed equitably throughout the year.

RESOLVED, that

·         The terms of reference be submitted to the Policy and Resources Committee and the Court of Common Council for ratification, with any further changes deemed necessary in the lead up to the Board’s appointment by the Court of Common Council delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

·         The Board meet at least five times per year.
