Report of the Chamberlain.

The Sub-Committee received a report of the Chamberlain outlining the recent operational and management activity undertaken since the last meeting. Members were informed of the following points:

·         Active disaster recovery mitigation was ongoing and a test of backup servers was scheduled to take place on 22 February.

·         A tendering exercise had been undertaken for the appointment of a consultant to assist with the development of the IT strategy, with the award due to take place in the following week.

·         It was acknowledged that the timing of the Sub-Committee in relation to the Grand Committee, as well as Projects Sub-Committee, had not allowed for Members to comment on reports before they were submitted for approval. The Town Clerk undertook to investigate the timing of meetings in future.

Members queried the development of the objective to migrate to Apple Devices, and Officers confirmed the project was in its initial stages. Members asked for a report on the rationale behind the move to be brought to the next meeting of the Sub-Committee.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
