Decision:

That the updated MTFP 2019/20 – 2022/23 and the draft Budget for 2019/20 be approved for consultation with the Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee and other interested parties.

Minutes:

 

The Executive considered a report from the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources that set out the draft Budget for 2019/20 and updated the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP).  It was noted that the report had been published before the provisional Financial Settlement for Local Government had been released.  The outcome of the Settlement would be included in the final budget presented to the Executive on 5 February 2019.  The report sought approval for the draft Budget and MTFP as the basis for consultation.

 

In response to questions, the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources explained:

 

·         that the results from the consultation would be carefully considered when the Executive came to finalise its budget proposals in February;

·         the draft Budget would be presented to the Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 31 January 2019, where all Members from all Scrutiny Committees would be invited to attend; and

·         the majority of the £58.6m of external funding within the draft Capital Programme report for 2019/20 had been secured. 

 

Reason for decision:  To enable consultation on the draft Budget 2019/20 and updated MTFP, prior to recommendations being made by the Executive on 5 February 2019 to Council on 21 February 2019.

 

RESOLVED

 

that the updated MTFP 2019/20 – 2022/23 and the draft Budget for 2019/20 be approved for consultation with the Corporate Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee and other interested parties.
