Report of the Director of Economic Development.

NB: This report will have been considered by the Public Relations and Economic Development Sub-Committee earlier this day.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Economic Development concerning the City Corporation’s future membership of think tanks.

Members were advised that arrangements were being made for the Corporate Affairs Team to now fall within the remit of the Director of Communications. It was therefore suggested that the report be deferred to enable the Director to contribute to the review. It was noted that the Public Relations and Economic Development Sub-Committee had also considered the report earlier this day and had supported the suggestion, subject to the approval of any subscriptions which needed to be renewed in the interim being delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

RESOLVED – That the report be deferred for further work, subject to the approval of any subscriptions to think tanks which needed to be renewed in the interim being delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.
