[ Leading Cork to Take Its Place as a World Class City ]
Our Operating Environment
The City Council is heavily influenced by legal, societal, political, environment, technological and economic change. We consider the policies and objectives set out in the many statutory plans and strategies that are implemented throughout the council. All plans and strategies referenced in this document can be found in the appendix. We provide a diverse range of services and functions in conjunction with national, regional, and local organisations, agencies, and community groups. We are responsible for supporting our elected members, associated committees, implementing policy across all services. We set and meet local and national key performance indicators in implementing our corporate plan. The structure of the council is centred around three pillars (all interacting and reliant on each other) Operations, Strategy and Support Services.
Cork City Council has thirty-one elected members representing five local electoral areas – Cork City North West, Cork City North East, Cork City South East, Cork City South West, and Cork City South Central. Local Area Committees meet once a month, and a full council meeting is held on the second Monday of every month. Our councillors are members of Strategic Policy Committees (SPC) along with sectoral representatives. The chairs of the SPCs also come together to meet monthly as a Corporate Policy Group (CPG). The Senior Management Team has responsibility for the efficient and effective management of the council and the delivery of its services within available resources. With over 1,500 staff, Council employees come from a wide range of professional backgrounds with diverse skill sets, qualifications, and experience.
