APPOINTMENT OF SUB-COMMITTEES, WORKING PARTIES AND REPRESENTATIVES ON OTHER COMMITTEES

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk concerning the appointment of the Committee’s sub-committees, working parties and representatives on other committees.

 

For the Public Relations and Economic Development Sub-Committee, with there being six expressions of interest for five places it was agreed that the size of that body should be increased by one for the forthcoming year, to obviate the requirement for a ballot.

 

It was noted that the terms of reference of the Housing Delivery Programme Working Group had been amended the previous year and the words “700 on the City Corporation’s Housing Revenue Account estates and 3,000 on other sites owned by the City Corporation” should be added to the final sentence. It was also noted that a vacancy remained on that Working Group, following Sir Mark Boleat’s resignation from the Court. This place was in the gift of the Chair, to serve or appoint a representative as appropriate.
