The Corporate Services Committee was scheduled to consider the operating model for the Barbican Centre and a delegated authority request. The meeting was also scheduled to address the exclusion of the public for certain agenda items.
Barbican Operating Model
The committee was scheduled to review a report from the Chief Executive Officer of the Barbican Centre concerning its operating model. This item was designated For Decision
and was detailed across a significant portion of the public reports pack, from page 5 to page 66. The report pack indicated that this discussion was scheduled to take place in a confidential session, with the public excluded.
Delegated Authority Request
A report from the City Surveyor was scheduled to be presented to the committee for a decision regarding a delegated authority request. This item was outlined on pages 67 to 72 of the public reports pack and was also scheduled to be considered in a confidential session. The report pack indicated that this item involved the likely disclosure of exempt information.
The meeting was scheduled to begin with apologies and members' declarations of interest. A motion was scheduled to be put forward to exclude the public from the meeting for the subsequent agenda items, citing the likely disclosure of exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972.
