Agenda item

To receive the Order of the Court of Common Council from 21 April 2016.

The Board considered the Order of the Court of Common Council, which set out the Board’s composition and Terms of Reference.

A Member noted that Standing Order 29(3) provided a list of Grand Committees of which the Chairman was eligible to serve as Chairman of another Grand Committee. The Member noted that, as there were only two Members of the Court of Common Council on this Board, and one must be either the Chairman or Deputy Chairman to allow reporting to the Court of Common Council, it could be beneficial to request that the Board be added to the list of Grand Committees to which this exemption applied.

The Board discussed this proposal and agreed that it would be beneficial to request that the Board be added to the aforementioned list within Standing Orders.

The Board also discussed whether it would be beneficial for the Chairman and Deputy Chairman to be one Employer representative and one Scheme Member representative.

RESOLVED – That the Board:

a)    Notes the Order of the Court; and

b)    Requests that the Policy and Resources Committee recommends to the Court of Common Council the addition of the Local Government Pensions Board to the list of Grand Committees, set out in Standing Order 29(3), of which a Member is eligible to serve as Chairman, in addition to serving as Chairman of another Grand Committee.
