Issue - meetings

The Director of Finance and Business Improvement presented the report and informed the Committee that the SPST Committee were within budget and within their remit.

It was pointed out that Parking Services were a projected surplus of £250k and other services were within budget.

It was noted that the budget for the Development Management Section would be overspent due to costs of agency staff, but there was funding available to support this.

It was noted that the low budget spend for Development Control Enforcement did not reflect a lack of work being carried out on Enforcement issues.  This particular budget was for ‘one off’ costs.  Costs for enforcement’s day to day costs, including salaries and ongoing work, were provided by a separate budget.

RESOLVED:

That the revenue position at the end of the first quarter, and the actions being taken or proposed to improve the position where significant variances have been identified, be noted.
