Minutes:

The Executive Member for Finance and Support Services submitted a quarterly report on finance and performance monitoring for the Council as at 31 December 2017.  This indicated a projected revenue budget forecast overspend of £86k for 2017/18.  The Executive Member advised that this figure had been reducing throughout the year as a result of mitigating actions and the end of year position indicated a zero or near zero outturn.

 

The Executive Member also referred to the comments of the Performance, Audit and Governance Scrutiny Committee, who had considered the report on 13 March 2018.  He advised that Officers would be reporting on the Castle Weir micro hydro scheme in due course.  He also advised that recommendation (D) relating to strategic risks had been withdrawn as this had been addressed separately earlier in the meeting.

 

Councillor E Buckmaster commented on the reference to a £90k underspend on capital community grants and suggested that this was a timing issue and that the budget had been spent.

 

Councillor G Williamson moved, and Councillor G Jones seconded, a motion that the recommendations now detailed be approved.  After being put to the meeting, and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

 

The Executive approved the recommendations now detailed.

 

RESOLVED – that (A) the projected revenue budget forecast overspend of £58k in 2017/18 be noted;

 

(B)       the capital budget forecast underspend of £2.166m be noted; and

 

(C)       the reported performance and actions for the period October 2017 to December 2017 be noted.
