Annual Appointment of Committees

This day the Court proceeded to the annual appointment of Committees. Resolved – That the several Committees be appointed until the first meeting of the Court in April 2013, and that the terms of reference and constitutions be also approved.   Notes: 1. The format of this paper shows the constitution of each Committee, followed by the proposed membership and, lastly, its terms of reference.   2. Against the names of Common Councilmen are one or more numbers. A number shown without brackets reflects the total number of years that a Member has served on the Committee since first elected to the Court, including 2012/13.  Numbers in brackets apply only to Committees for which the Court makes an appointment for a four year period, and indicate which year of the period that Member is entering in 2012. (In the case of the Board of Governors of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Barbican Centre Board, appointments are for a three year period).   Nominations 3. Nominations for appointments on Ward Committees have been submitted in accordance with Standing Order No. 23(5).   4. Where a Ward chooses not to make a nomination to a Ward Committee or pair with another Ward, the vacancy shall be advertised to all Members and, on the basis of the nominations received, the appointment made by the Court.   5. Where a vacancy exists on a Ward Committee, an interim ward pairing option may be exercised (in accordance with the agreed ward pairing arrangements) until the replacement ward representative is agreed subsequent to the election of a new Common Councilman for the Ward.   Compliance with Standing Orders 6. Each Committee or Board, in carrying out the functions and responsibilities delegated to it by the Court of Common Council, shall do so in compliance with the City Corporation's Standing Orders, Financial Regulations and such other requirements as the City Corporation may determine. This includes Committees or Boards with different constitutional arrangements and/or extended delegations, such as the Board of Governors of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama (which operates under a separate Instrument and Articles of Government in accordance with section 29 of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992) and the Police Committee (which has vested in it the powers and duties of the Court of Common Council as Police Authority for the City of London by virtue of the City of London Police Act 1839, together with other relevant legislation, save the appointment of the Commissioner of Police).   Terms of Reference and Delegation 7. The Court of Common Council may discharge its functions and responsibilities through delegation to the several committees and through delegation to officers, in accordance with the Framework for Accountability and Delegation (agreed by the Court in January 2005).   8. Committees have delegated authority to discharge their functions as set out in their terms of reference and in accordance with Standing Orders.   9. Lands and/or property in the purview of committees shall be managed and maintained by the relevant committee.   10. Committees may also choose to delegate the exercise of their functions to sub-committees and to officers.   Matters of Policy and/or Strategic Importance 11. The creation of a new, or the amendment of an existing, corporate or strategic policy, or other matters of corporate or strategic importance, should be referred by committees to the Policy & Resources Committee for consideration prior to the matter being referred, as necessary, to the Court of Common Council.   Chief Commoner – Attendance at Committee Meetings 12. The Chief Commoner shall have the ability to attend any City Corporation Committee meeting and to speak at such meetings.   Matters of Dispute 13. The Policy & Resources Committee shall attempt to resolve matters of dispute between individual committees, reporting as necessary to the Court of Common Council.   General 14.  For ease of reference only, the Committees have been grouped by function.
