Joint report of the City Surveyor and the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a joint report of the City Surveyor and the Director of the built Environment concerning the 2018 MIPIM property conference.

A Member referred to other authorities such as the City of Westminster reducing the number of attendees at MIPIM to one or two representatives and questioned whether the proposal for the City Corporation’s party of ten people was excessive. Another Member queried the format of engagement. He advised that, in his view, Dinners tended to work better than Receptions. The Chairman suggested that the City Surveyor and the Director of Built Environment be requested to take these factors into account when finalising the arrangements. The Committee supported this.

RESOLVED – That the content of the report be noted and that subject to the above-mentioned comments, the activities and team to attend MIPIM in 2018 be approved at a cost not exceeding £98,000.
