Amendment to the proposed Budget 2023-2024 PDF 68 KB To receive and consider the budget amendment report. The item for discussion by the this committee is highlighted.
Minutes: Documents Considered: · Budget Amendment Report.
Issues Discussed: · Some amendments made to the Cabinet’s original budget proposals: · Establishment of a £500k fund to support energy costs and energy efficiency measures in schools. · To release this funding there were some other adjustments to the budget. Some of those were considered by the relevant scrutiny committees as they fell within their remit. · One amendment related to the setting aside of £287k funding to replenish the general fund reserve as a result of using the reserve to fund the financial pressures on Freedom Leisure in the current financial year. However, due to the quarter 3 position which was reported to Council the outturn position for the current financial year had improved and a s a result that Freedom Leisure pressure could be met from the base budget rather than having to draw on reserves. · That meant that the budget set aside to replenish reserves for next year was no longer required for that purpose and that funding had been diverted as part of the £500k fund.
