Report of the Town Clerk.

To Follow.

The Board considered a Report of the Town Clerk concerning housing governance.

Members were of view that PIB assuming responsibility for housing governance would be suboptimal and liable to considerably shift the focus of PIB. However, Members did request the City Surveyor’s department continue to advise BRC going forward.

A Member suggested that, ultimately, officers need to work this through and recommend a corporate stance. He encouraged the Corporation to appoint independent Members with professional housing expertise on to the Committee as part of the solution.

RESOLVED – that the Board rejected the option to assume responsibility for housing governance.
