Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on City of London and are not the council. About us

The Corporate Services Committee of the City of London Council is scheduled to consider the operating model for the Barbican Centre and a delegated authority request. The meeting will also address the exclusion of the public for certain agenda items.

Barbican Operating Model

A significant portion of the meeting is scheduled to be dedicated to a report from the Chief Executive Officer of the Barbican Centre concerning its operating model. This report, which spans pages 5 to 66 of the public reports pack1, is presented for decision by the committee.

Delegated Authority Request

The committee is also scheduled to review a delegated authority request, as detailed in a report from the City Surveyor. This item, found on pages 67 to 72 of the public reports pack1, is also marked for decision.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at 1:45 pm in Committee Room 2, on the 2nd Floor West Wing of the Guildhall. Members of the public can observe the proceedings via a livestream on the City of London Corporation's YouTube channel.
