Memorandum by the Chief Executive Officer
To Council:
On 21 February 2022, Council resolved to establish
a number of new advisory panels, committees and a working group in addition to
Council’s existing advisory panels and committees, each with Council appointed
Councillor representatives. The Lord Mayor (or delegate) is also a member of
these panels, committees and working groups.
On 27 June 2022, Council endorsed the
appointment of advisory panel and working group members, endorsed Terms of
Reference for the advisory panels and working group and requested that
amendments be made to all Terms of Reference to include that advocacy is to be
in alignment with the City’s policies, strategies and operational plans and
that management of conflicts of interest be more explicitly and consistently
referenced across all Terms of Reference.
In accordance with the Council resolution,
the requested updates have been made to the Terms of Reference to include that
advocacy is to be in alignment with the City’s policies, strategies and
operational plans and to make explicit Code of Conduct and conflict of interest
requirements. Administrative updates have also been made for clarity and to
promote consistency (where practicable) across the panels, noting that the
Terms of Reference now all use the updated City template. Council is required
to endorse these updates to the Terms of Reference.
Meetings of the new advisory panels and
working group will commence in September 2022.
This memorandum seeks Council endorsement of
the updated Terms of Reference and requests that authority be delegated to the
Chief Executive Officer to make minor amendments to the above Terms of
Reference, in consultation with the relevant advisory panel or working group.
