Insert into Budget
2022/23 and Medium Term Financial Plan as recommendation
F.
That Council
agrees the following:
This Council
notes:
·
That at the 15th December 2021 Full
Council meeting, Council backed the Fees and Charges policy which
gave rise to the new RPZ policy
·
That as a general principle
non-statutory services should be provided on a full cost
recovery basis.
This council
believes:
·
That costs for non-statutory services should be as
low as possible
·
That those who don’t use non-statutory
services should not be asked to cross-subsidise those that
do
·
The charging policy provides for full cost recovery.
This council will endeavour to reduce the cost base of its
services, so that full cost recovery charges are as low as
possible
·
That full cost recovery charges can go down in
future years as well as up
This council
resolves:
·
That the principle of the Fees and Charging policy
is that any future reductions in the cost base (or increases in the
revenue from the scheme) will feed through to lower RPZ permit
costs
·
To ask the Audit and Governance Committee to
investigate the cost base of the RPZ scheme
·
To invite resident groups in RPZ scheme areas who no
longer wish to have an RPZ to approach the council to look at
further options.
