Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Finance and Resources which set out the current position with regards to both revenue and capital expenditure against the approved budgets, and also included sections on Collection Fund performance and Treasury Management performance. 

Members felt that the revenue and expenditure from Mote Park should be categorised under Mote Park Operation; Parking Charges; and Cafeteria.  Officers undertook to produce a memorandum account to make this clearer.

RESOLVED:

1)  That a working group of the full Committee (or Substitutes) be established which would be supported by officers to identify robust and deliverable savings proposals;

2)  That the revenue budget position at the end of the first quarter and the action proposed or being taken by each service committee as set out in table 2, paragraph 2.14 of the report of the Head of Finance and Resources be noted;

3)  That the proposed slippage in the capital programme of £2,875,985 into 2016/17 as detailed in paragraph 2.19 of the report of the Head of Finance and Resources be approved;

4)  That the performance of the collection fund and the estimated level of balances at the year end be noted;

5)  That the performance in relation to the treasury management strategy for the first quarter of 2015/16 be noted; and
