Minutes:
Members considered a report which presented the 2007/08 budget proposals for the Chief Executives directorate. It included the budget for 2006/07 (as detailed in Annex 1 of the report) to show existing budgets, the budget adjusted and rolled forward from 2006/07, the allocation of pay and price increase for the portfolio, budget service pressure proposals and savings options for the portfolio area (as detailed in Annexes 2 & 3), and fees and charges proposals (as detailed in Annex 4).
Members were asked to consider the budget proposals before the budget is considered by Budget Council on 21 February 2007.
Members discussed the failure to appoint a Safe City Coordinator, the concern that some of the proposed savings may not be cost effective, for example contracting out services, concerns regarding training and support for staff, and the issue of sponsorship of city boundary signs.
