WCC, various Committee minutes, 1923-1974

Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00199Date Range1923-1974DescriptionThese minute books contain minutes of the meetings of 'one-off' or short-term Council committees dealing with a 1923-24 investigation into City Council departments, the Observatory, Exhibition Grounds and Winter Show Grounds, Wellington Citizens Memorial to WWII and redevelopment of the Corporation Yard. At the beginning of their terms of office the Mayor and Councillors meet and decide on the number and status of committees to be set up. The Mayor is an ex-officio member of all committees, with a small number of councillors making up the rest of each committee. The Town Clerk, or later the Clerk of Committees, is 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. Committees set the direction of work of Council departments, make decisions within their delegated authority, and refer to the full Council any decisions for which they do not have delegated authority. The minutes of one-off or ad-hoc committees are not necessarily public. Minutes are arranged in chronological order. Volumes may include reports, newspaper cuttings, maps and plans as well as minutes. Five volumes are indexed by subject matter, but two have no indexingQuantity (Linear Metres)0.25MediumBound VolumeCollection TypeWellington City Council
