WCC, Works Committee minutes

Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00169Date Range1922-1974DescriptionThis series contains minute books for the Council Works Committee. At the beginning of their terms of office, the Mayor and Councillors met and decided on the number and status of committees to be set up. The Mayor was an ex-officio member of all committees, with a small number of councillors making up the rest of each committee. Committees set the direction of work of Council departments, made decisions within their delegated authority, and referred to the full Council any decisions for which they did not have delegated authority. The first Works Committee was set up in 1922. The Town Clerk, or later the Clerk of Committees, was responsible for taking minutes and ensuring that they were written into the minute book, signed, and indexed. In later years, when minutes are typewritten, they are stuck into the minute books. Later still, typewritten or word processed minutes are bound into volumes. Minute book volumes may include reports, newspaper cuttings, maps and plans as well as minutes. All volumes are indexed by subject matter. Note: Works matters may also be discussed in full Council meetings, in Finance Committee meetings and in the meetings of a range of other committees. It is useful to search the minutes of committees active during the same time period.Quantity (Linear Metres)1.1MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementMinutes are arranged in meeting date order.Collection TypeWellington City Council
