Issue - meetings

To consider the projected outturn position and proposed remedial actions.

Consideration was given to the remedial actions identified by services with a view to minimising the forecast outturn overspending of £13.6m at quarter one, as reported to Cabinet at its last meeting.  It was noted that whilst the report concentrated on service actions there was some scope for mitigation within centrally held budgets and provisions.  Other potential areas, for example capital financing and earmarked reserves, were also being reviewed in detail.

RESOLVED

1. That the projected outturn and proposed remedial actions be noted.

2. That exception report updates be brought to Members monthly for the remainder of the financial year.

3. That additional remedial measures be sought across the Council’s services.
