Report of the Town Clerk.

Members considered a report of the Town Clerk which updated them on the agreed actions arising from the Committee’s departmental reviews that had been undertaken in the previous year.

Although this report had been designed to provide assurance that the actions arising from the departmental review had been addressed, Members discussed expanding this to include actions arising from all reports. The Deputy Town Clerk recognised that any future action updates should be issued on time and in a more user-friendly format such as the format used for the Audit & Risk Management Committee.

The Deputy Town Clerk then gave an update on the potential for Shared Services between the City of London Corporation and the City of London Police, including the resolution of the Police Committee at its meeting on 27 April 2012. A full report would be brought to the Sub Committee for further consideration and Members requested that this report also set out any possible data security issues.

One Member also asked what progress had been made in the alignment of financial and business planning and was informed that this was being actively considered by the Chamberlain’s department in time for the 2013/14 estimates reports.
