53.         Declarations of Interest

 

Members were invited to declare at this point in the meeting any personal interests not included on the Register of Interests, any prejudicial interests or any disclosable pecuniary interests they might have in the business on the agenda.

 

It was noted that the Monitoring Officer had confirmed that government guidance stated Members did not have a disclosable pecuniary interest in the business of setting the council tax and that the Council’s code of conduct also stated that Members did not have a prejudicial interest in that business.

 

Cllr Looker declared a personal interest in the Labour Group amendment to the budget proposals insofar as it related to the Theatre Royal, as a member of the Theatre Royal.

 

</AI1>

<AI2>

54.         Minutes

 

Resolved:  That the minutes of Council meeting held on 16 December 2021 be approved, and signed by the Chair as a correct record, subject to the addition of Cllrs Rowley and Melly to the list of attendees.

 

</AI2>

<AI3>

55.         Civic Announcements

 

The Lord Mayor announced the death on 17 December 2021 of Hon Alderman David Wilde, who had served the city as both Lord Mayor and Sherriff, and as a councillor for many years.  Members observed a minute’s silence in his memory.

 

The Lord Mayor then invited Cllr Aspden to nominate the Lord Mayor Elect for the 2022/23 Municipal Year.  Cllr Aspden nominated Cllr David Carr as the Lord Mayor Elect.  Cllr Carr confirmed that he would be honoured to accept this office, and nominated Susie Mercer as his Sheriff.

 

Finally, the Lord Mayor drew attention to a number of forthcoming Lord Mayor’s Charity events, including the postponed Charity Ball on 29 April and a curry night at the Parveen restaurant on 7 March.

 

</AI3>

<AI4>

56.         Public Participation

 

It was reported that 6 members of the public had registered to speak at the meeting under the Public Participation item in relation to business associated with setting the council’s budget for the coming financial year. 

 

Debby Cobbett urged Members to consider the Council’s commitment to zero carbon when setting the budget and to engage with workers and local people on moving towards a green economy.

 

Flick Williams welcomed the allocation of funding for an Access Officer but warned against employing someone ‘on the cheap’, given the shortage of suitable candidates and the urgent need to make York an accessible city.

 

Gwen Swinburn expressed disappointment at the lack of consultation on the budget and asked Members to commit to receive a pay rise no higher than that of staff in the forthcoming year.

 

Sarah Garbacz, on behalf of Explore York, spoke in support of the proposed £7m capital investment in libraries, which would allow Explore to realise its vision and better support local residents.

 

Ruth Pearson stated that she was the mother of Cllr Pearson and a member of Haxby Town Council but was speaking on her own behalf.  She then spoke in support of funding allocated to the new Haxby library and the station development in Haxby.

 

Andrew Mortimer spoke as a carer for his adult stepson.  He expressed approval that, despite financial pressures, the budget proposals included support for the most vulnerable people across the city.

 

</AI4>

<AI5>

57.         Appointment of External Auditors

 

Members received a report from the Director of Governance & Monitoring Officer and the Chief Finance Officer inviting Council to opt into the national Public Sector Audit Appointments process for the procurement of the Council’s External Auditor, as recommended by Audit & Governance Committee.

 

Cllr Fisher moved, and Cllr Webb seconded, the following recommendation, as set out in the report:

 

“Full Council is invited to accept the Public Sector Audit Appointments’ invitation to opt into the sector-led option for the appointment of external auditors to principal local government and police bodies for five financial years from 1 April 2023.

 

Reason:     The Local Audit (Appointing Person) Regulations 2015 (‘the Regulations’) require that a decision to opt in must be made by a meeting of the Council (meeting as a whole). The Council then needs to formally respond to PSAA’s invitation in the form specified by PSAA.”

 

A named vote was then taken, and all Members voted in favour.  The recommendation was therefore declared CARRIED, and it was

 

Resolved:  That the above recommendation be approved.

 

</AI5>

<AI6>

58.         Recommendations of the Executive in respect of the Capital Programme Monitor 3 2021/22

 

Cllr Aspden moved, and Cllr D’Agorne seconded, the following recommendation contained in Minute 93 of the Executive meeting held on 7 February 2022:

 

“Recommended: That Council approve the adjustments resulting in a decrease of £15.678m in the 2021/22 budget, as detailed in the report and contained in Annex A.

 

Reason:     To enable the effective management and monitoring of the council’s capital programme.”

Reason: To ensure a legally balanced budget is set.

Capital Budget 2022/23 to 2026/27

          iii.        The specified and non-specified investments schedule (annex B);
