GOVERNANCE<br />

The <strong>York</strong> <strong>Business</strong> Improvement District (<strong>BID</strong>) is an independent, not<br />

for profit company that is solely accountable to its members. The<br />

company is governed by a voluntary board of directors and advisors<br />

who provide strong governance, strategic direction and ensure<br />

oversight and scrutiny of the delivery of the <strong>BID</strong> business plan.<br />

The Board is made up of influential representatives from the key business sectors, partner organisations<br />

and levy paying businesses in the city centre. Board positions are refreshed every two years as per the<br />

company articles of association and elections ratified during an annual general meeting which typically<br />

takes place in June each year.<br />

An Operating Agreement, which includes the Council’s Baseline service commitments, has been agreed<br />

with City of <strong>York</strong> Council. A copy can be found at www.theyorkbid.com. The Company shall meet<br />

quarterly with the City of <strong>York</strong> Council, as the Billing Authority, to monitor service delivery, levy collection<br />

and financial management issues.<br />
