Minutes:

The Portfolio Holder for Finance and Legal Services advised that the report summarised the income and expenditure during 2019/20.  He drew Members attention to Table 2 which listed service variances and noted that IT maintenance costs had been centralised which had resulted in some adverse variances in some budgets which would be corrected during 2020/21.  He proposed that the recommendations be approved.

 

The Portfolio Holder for Economic Development thanked the commercial development team for achieving £880k in additional rental income due to the progress of the Commercial Strategy.  He said this would be used to protect Council services.  Members joined him in thanking the team for achieving this additional income.

 

It was noted that the Scrutiny Committee had not raised any questions regarding the report.

 

At the conclusion of the debate, Members unanimously confirmed the recommendations of the report.
