Agenda item

To note the list of outstanding actions.

The Committee considered the Outstanding Actions List. With reference to point 1, the Chairman noted the importance of completing outstanding actions promptly and to a specified deadline.

During a discussion under point 2, members agreed that the Chairman would write to Chairs of Committees to state clearly that a nominating department was responsible for payment for the Freedom ceremony, including any hospitality. It was also agreed that the Chamberlain and the Remembrancer would jointly send similar correspondence to all Chief Officers.

There was a brief discussion in relation to point 4 and members agreed that the responsibility for production of the requested business plan lay with the Clerk to the Chamberlain’s Court. It was also noted, however, that given the role of the Clerk to the Chamberlain’s Court fed directly into the Senior Leadership Team’s reporting line within the Chamberlain’s Department, that the Chamberlain’s Department’s business manager would also assist in production of the business plan.

Resolved: that:

(i)               the Outstanding Actions List be noted;

(ii)             that the Chairman write to the Chairs of Committee to clarify the guidance for payment for Freedom ceremonies and hospitality;

that the Chamberlain and the Remembrancer write to other Chief Officers to clarify the guidance for payment for Freedom ceremonies and hospitality.
