Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report which presented the latest projections for revenue and capital expenditure for the City Strategy portfolio together with Monitor 2 performance 2008/09 against target for a number of key indicators.

 

It was reported that, following releases from contingency and budget transfers since Monitor 1,  there was a current budget of £17,611k. Current projections were that the City Strategy Directorate would overspend by £+208k which represented 0.6% of the gross expenditure. It was confirmed that this was made up of key identified overspends totalling £+994k which was offset by identified savings totalling £-786k. The primary reasons for the level of overspend was the downturn in parking and planning income resulting from the economic climate and additional costs incurred in defending planning appeals and inquiries.

 

In order to bring the budget into balance it was recommended that the capital element of the Housing and Planning Delivery Grant £135k was used to fund an element of structural highway maintenance currently funded by revenue. If this was agreed the projected overspend would reduce to £73k.
