Minutes:

 

The Director of Resources introduced the Q2 revenue budget monitoring report that forecast an overspend of £3.3m at the end of September 2017.  However, there is an unused contingency of £2.2m to partially offset this.  The predominant issue related to the Special Educational Needs transport costs that had been addressed in the Budget for 2018/19.  The budget had been reviewed and would close the year much closer to target.  In response to a question regarding the 880 approaches for council housing advice, the Executive Member for Corporate Resources advised this was not an indication of need and the pressure was outlined in the budget proposals above.  The Committee were reassured that the budget had been formatted for the coming year based on the budget monitoring process.
