Report of the Executive Director, Environment.

The Board considered a report from the Interim Executive Director Environment concerning Risk Management Update.

Officers informed the board, since the last report, one risk related to finance and budgets had been eliminated from the register. This risk was specific to the 2022/23 financial year and has been successfully resolved. It was noted that the current Cross Divisional Risk Register primarily comprises risks that are common to all the charities and each charity maintains a specific risk register for their individual site, which may include site-specific risks.

Following a discussion by Members on mitigation of risks, Officers agreed to present detailed risk registers that include specific mitigating actions to the next meeting. Officers agreed to include actions taken to address these risks and Members of the board agreed to remove the word ‘mitigate’ from the recommendation as outlined in the report.

RESOLVED – That Members,

a)    Confirmed, on behalf of the City Corporation as Trustee, that the Natural Environment Cross-Divisional Summary Risk Register satisfactorily identified the key top-level risks to the charities and that appropriate systems are in place to identify risks across the charities.

b)    Note the report, the City Gardens Summary Risk Register (Appendix 2), and the action being taken to effectively manage these risks.
