RESOLVED: That a combination of Options 1 and 2, as detailed in paragraphs 6 and 7 of the report be approved, as part of the improvements to transparency and to FoI processes contained in the More for York Programme, involving:
· The adoption of Option 1, use of the Documentum system (which should be available from 2011) as the longer term solution and
· The implementation of Option 2 in the interim; this being the periodic publication of a web page carrying links to PDF versions of the enquiry and response, with a minimum period of two weeks between a response being sent to the enquirer and its publication on the website.
REASON: To ensure that the Council acts with maximum openness and transparency and provides as much information as possible within the resources available.
