WCC, Reserves Committee minutes

Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00174Date Range1903-1974DescriptionAt 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 Town Clerk, or later the Clerk of Committees, was responsible for taking minutes and ensuring that they are 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. The minutes of Standing Committees are public documents, unless the committee has formally gone into closed session. The minutes of one off or ad hoc committees are not necessarily public. This committee dealt with baths, beaches, the cemetery, the zoo, public gardens and city reserves. This series includes several changes of committee names and subject matter: Baths and City Reserves Committee 1903-1913 Baths, Reserves and Public Gardens Committee 1913-1914 Reserves and Public Gardens Committee 1914-1919 Reserves, Public Gardens, Baths and Beaches Committee 1919-1962 Reserves, Public Gardens, Baths, Beaches and Cemeteries Committee 1962-1965 Reserves Committee 1965-1974 Volumes may include reports, newspaper cuttings, maps and plans as well as minutes.Quantity (Linear Metres)1.82MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementMinutes are arranged in meeting date order.
