Agenda item

NB: Approval is required to item 2 and to the recommendations in item 7.

The draft public minutes of the Outside Bodies Sub-Committee meeting held on 11 October 2017 were considered.

RESOLVED – That:-

1.       Simon Duckworth be appointed to serve as Chairman of the Outside Bodies Sub-Committee for the ensuing year;

2.       approval be given to filling the vacancy on St Luke's Parochial Trust in the room of the late John Barker and on the Mitchell City of London Charity and Mitchell City of London Educational Foundation in the room of Deputy Joyce Nash and to those vacancies being advertised to the Court of Common Council in the usual manner;

3.       the City & Metropolitan Welfare Charity be advised that its request for the City Corporation to reduce its number of appointees on the Charity from two to one or, if willing, to relinquish appointment rights altogether was not supported at this stage. The City Corporation would however be willing to consider reducing to one representative if the other bodies with appointment rights were being asked to do the same; and

4.       the proposal for future appointments to Gresham College Council to be drawn from the wider membership of the Court of Common Council be referred back to the Gresham City Side Committee to clarify exactly what it envisaged.
