The Committee received an order of the Court of Common Council from 6 December 2012 regarding the post implementation review of Governance Arrangements.

Members noted on the summary page, a motion was passed at the Court of Common Council meeting (6 December 2012) to withdraw the recommendation contained at bullet point 4 “The Corporate Asset and Energy and Sustainability Sub Committees be transferred from the Policy and Resources Committee to the Finance Committee and the Planning and Transportation Committee respectively”.

The Committee discussed the Order on page 8 and agreed that the issue regarding the Projects Approval Procedure should remain as on going and should continue to be monitored closely.  The Director advised that proposals were being developed such that in future a composite report detailing Gateway 2 projects could be submitted to both this Committee and the Projects Sub Committee to assist in planning the work of the Committee.  However individual projects may still be tabled to the Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee as necessary. Under the Projects Procedure, at Gateway 2, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Spending Committee are given sight of all projects.

RESOLVED – That the Order of the Court of Common Council held on 6 December 2012 be received and the comments made by the Committee noted.
