Report of the Town Clerk

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk reviewing the Committee’s terms of reference. The updated terms of reference reflected the wider remit of the City Bridge Trust under the Bridging Divides Strategy, aiming to use the total assets of the Trust beyond grant funding. The Committee noted a tabled version of the appendix that was clearer, with corrections made before the meeting.

A Member suggested that The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor’s position on the Committee might be better served as a patron or guest rather than an ex-officio Member, as the Lord Mayor was unable to attend Committee meetings. The Committee asked that officers look into the background and history of the Lord Mayor’s ex-officio membership on the Committee ahead of the next Committee meeting.

RESOLVED – That the revised terms of reference of the Committee be approved for submission to the Court as set out.
