The first public meeting of the “shareholder” group set up to monitor the performance of “York City Trading” will take place on 13th January.
The YCT Quango – which uses surplus Council staff resources to back-fill vacancies while also offering contract services to some outside organisations – attracted criticism last year when questions were raised about payments to some Directors.
A report to the group says that turnover for the company was up 6% on the equivalent period in 2014.
The report does not provide any indication of performance against financial targets. A board report is mentioned but is claimed to be “exempt” from publication.
So Taxpayers therefore still have no idea how well the company is actually performing
The last publicly published board minutes – on their web site – for the company cover a meeting held in July
York City Trading also promote a separate web site aimed at potential customers www.workwithyork.co.uk
