Barbican Centre Board: Amendments to Terms of Reference

The Barbican Centre Board has reviewed its constitution and governance arrangements and has developed a number of proposals to enhance its effectiveness. Your Policy and Resources Committee has considered these proposals and concurs with the recommendations the Barbican Centre Board has made.

It is therefore proposed to amend the Terms of Reference of the Barbican Centre Board:

·           to enable the appointment of up to two more external Members (while adjusting quorums to ensure City control)

·           and to indicate foreseen skill/background deficits when advertising vacancies to the Court - while recognising the absolute freedom the Court has to appoint whoever it sees fit.

A separately printed and circulated report is submitted thereon and we recommend that you approve the proposals set out.
