Decision details

Purpose of Report: To set out the proposed governance arrangements for Rail North Ltd and the Association of Rail North Partner Authorities.

Members are asked to approve the finalised governance details which have been consulted on over the summer of 2015.

This item has been deferred to 31 March Executive because there has been a delay in the receipt of the proposed Constitution which will need to be considered by legal before the above report can be considered by Members.

In order to allow the Community Stadium recommendations to be considered at the 24 March Council meeting the March Executive meeting has been brought forward from Thursday 31 March to Thursday 17 March.

Resolved:    (i)    That Executive notes the proposed governance arrangements for Rail North Ltd (RNL) and the Association of Rail North Partner Authorities (“The Association”);

                    (ii)     That City of York Council (CYC) confirms its membership of both bodies.

Reason:     To enable the authority to have influence over the key industry stakeholders and the development and implementation of rail services across the North of England.
