Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk that sought approval to the Terms of Reference for subsequent submission to the Court of Common Council.

The Town Clerk explained that the Committee had previously asked that the wording within the Terms of Reference be amended to reflect that the Committee had responsibility for the appointments of the Director of the Built Environment and the Director of Open Spaces, acting jointly with the Planning and Transportation Committee, and Open Spaces and City Gardens Committee respectively.  The amendments would be brought before upcoming meetings of the Open Spaces and City Garden Committee and the Planning and Transportation Committee for their approval.

RESOLVED – That: -

·         the terms of reference of the Committee be approved for submission to the Court of Common Council in April 2018;

·         any subsequent changes required in the lead up to the Court’s appointment of Committees be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman; and

·         the frequency of meetings continue at six times per year.
