Report of the Town Clerk.

Members considered a report of the Town Clerk in respect of the provision of better quality sleeves for the City of London Corporation’s Pocket Book, following a resolution from the Policy and Resources Committee, reflecting the Minutes of the Privileges Sub Committee.  The report set out quotations and three options for Members’ consideration and an example of the higher quality sleeve was available for inspection. 

When the Committee had last considered the future production of the City of London Corporation Pocket Book, they had postponed a decision to abolish a printed version, pending growing Member confidence in the City Corporation’s IT systems.  The Chairman of the IT Sub Committee was in attendance and advised that all Members had been upgraded and were using Outlook for all calendars.  However, whilst 30% of Members had not collected their printed pocket books in 2016 and 2017, it was noted that some Members preferred the printed pocket book for both convenience and archiving value. 

RESOLVED, that – all Members of the City of London Corporation be offered a new sleeve for their pocket books.
