Report of the Director of Governance and Monitoring Officer |

To receive an overview of the work undertaken and support offered by the Yorkshire Local Councils Association
Summary
The Joint Standards Committee is keen to support and continue building positive links with Parish and Town Councils and a valuable part of this is the role of Yorkshire Local Councils Association. In recognition a representative of Yorkshire Local Councils Association has been invited to attend and provide an overview of the work undertaken and support offered.
Background
The Joint Standards Committee is a joint committee representing both the City of York Council and the Parish and Town Councils existing within York’s boundary.
Decisions recently made by the Joint Standards Committee Hearing Panel have recommended that Parish and Town Councils seek support from the YLCA. As such, the Joint Standards Committee has extended an invitation to the YLCA to attend the meeting and provide the Committee with an overview of its work.
Annexes A and B describe YLCA’s membership and governance and training offer.

Legal – Whilst the Joint Standards Committee is a joint committee between the City of York and the Parish and Town Councils existing within York’s geographical boundary, the two forms of councils are separate legal entities and the YLCA provides support solely to Parish and Town Councils who subscribe to its service.
