Minutes:

Mr Green informed the Committee that the revenue position was broadly positive and that there was a projected underspend of £290,000 for the Committee.  Funds allocated to Homelessness Prevention were expected to be spent in the current financial year, while Grounds Maintenance commercial activity had also been successful.  The capital budget had slipped, and expenditure was now scheduled for the next financial year.  The budget for the acquisition of property, to provide temporary accommodation, was expected to be spent by the end of the year.  This would reduce future temporary accommodation costs for the Council.

 

Mr Littlemore addressed the Committee, and stated that food safety was within the remit of the Environmental Health Shared Service.  However, a report outlining the action taken to address food safety issues, originally considered by the Committee on 16 October 2018, could be recirculated to Members.

 

RESOLVED: That

 

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

 

2.  The capital position at the end of the second quarter be noted.
