Minutes:

Members considered a report which

·        Informed them of the likely outturn position of the 2008/09 Capital Programme, based on the spend profile and information to the end of January 2009;

·        Sought approval for any resulting changes to the programme;

·        Informed the Executive Member of any slippage, and sought approval for the associated funding to be slipped between the relevant financial years to reflect this.

The currently appoved capital programme for 2008/09 amounted to £8.658m, financed by £6.903m of external funding, which left a cost to the Council of £1.775m.

Officers reported that a summary of the proposed main changes to the programme were included at Annex 2 to the report. If the proposed changes were accepted the total value of the City Strategy Capital Programme for 2008/09 would be £8,603k including overprogramming. The overprogramming would reduce from £762k to £124k and the budget would decrease to £8,479k.

Members questioned the following aspects of the report:

  • Details of the additional costs for work undertaken on Clifton Bridge and its approaches and at what stage these costs were known;
  • Underspend on the Lendal Sub-Station scheme and the use of Cycle City funding for schemes.

Officers confirmed that they would circulate, by email, a detailed breakdown of the additional costs for the work undertaken at Clifton Bridge, for member’s information.
