Minutes:

The Senior Finance Manager presented a report on Staff Recharges.

 

The Committee noted that the report set out details of the current recharges from the Council to the Trust for 2017/18 and the methodology used to calculate them. 

 

The Senior Finance Manager advised that:-

 

·  The figures set out in Appendix A to the report represented staff salaries along with an allocation of associated overheads such as office accommodation, telephones and computer charges.

·  The charges would be reviewed in the Autumn as part of the Council’s budget setting process and would be adjusted at the end of the year to reflect outturn figures.

·  A separate financial management system was proposed for the accounts of the Trust.  This would impact on the recharges as they would need to be taken out of the Council system and dealt with separately.

·  A further report would be brought forward once agreement had been reached on how the finances of the Trust would be dealt with. 

·  It was proposed that some form of Service Level Agreement should be set up to ensure any recharges to the Trust were accurate and reflected the level of service provided by the Council.

RESOLVED:  That

 

1.  The current recharges be noted and that the Committee requests that a further report be brought detailing how the increases have occurred.

2.  That Officers be requested to work on a service level agreement to be progressed and completed by March 2018.

Voting:  For:  unanimous
