The
Director of Finance and Business Improvement made a presentation to
the Committee relating to budgets within the Committee’s
remit for the fourth quarter of 2016/17.
The
Committee noted that:
·
There was an overall underspend for services within
the Committee’s remit of £69,199.
·
There was an overspend of £169,757 for the
Mote Park Café due to higher than budgeted staff costs, but
this figure was less than had been projected previously.
·
The solar panels installed at Mote Park Leisure
Centre were meant to provide a return to the Council, but as yet
there had been no return as the mechanics of
the calculation had not been established. A meeting had been
arranged with SERCO to resolve this issue.
·
Cobtree Manor Golf Course had overspent by
£36,917 for 2016/17 because the contract had ended with the
operator. This meant that the Council had to pay the operator to
run the Golf Course, rather than the operator paying the
Council.
RESOLVED:
That the financial position for services within the
remit of the Committee at the end of the fourth quarter be
noted.
