Minute book includes minutes for February 1899 - January 1902
Series of council minutes from the reformation of the Corporation of the City of York, which took place in 1835, onwards. Includes minutes for meetings of:
The City of York Corporation (Reformed), 1836-1974
York District Council (acting as a shadow council), 1973-1974
York City Council, 1974-1996
York District Council (acting as a shadow council), 1995-1996
City of York Council, 1996 onwards
The minutes represent the changes which the city underwent as a result of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, including the loss of certain legal privileges and rights, the widening of the electorate, and the changing of the council structure. Business was increasingly put into the hands of committees with a specific functional focus, and the minutes increasingly take the form of copies of reports from these committees, which are reviewed by councillors. After Local Government Reform in 1974, the bound volumes of council minutes also include minutes of these committees, as well as copies of committee reports and papers.
This series represents the surviving signed minutes, although some minutes are missing their signatures. These are the complete and full minutes, and as such include confidential items not included in the public minutes which were made available from the 1880s.
Matters discussed in the minutes include (but are not limited to):
Council administration, including salaries and staff management
Management of the public realm, including parks, strays, allotments, street maintenance and development
Property management and development, including civic buildings, civic structures such as bridges, and the bar walls and bars
Planning services, including some details of planning applications
