Minutes:

The Executive Member received a report as part of the consultation on the 2011/12 budget process.  The report presented the 2011/12 budget proposals for Customer and Business Support Services and included:

 

  • 2011/12 Base Budget, as set out in paragraph 18 of the report;
  • Service pressure proposals, as set out in Annex 2 of the report;
  • Savings proposals set out in Annex 3 of the report;
  • Fees and charges, as set out in Annex 4 of the report

 

The Executive Member was invited to consider whether the budget proposals were in line with the council’s priorities and to comment on the budget proposals for savings and growth, which had been prepared by officers and contained in the report.  The proposals were intended to form part of the council’s budget to be considered by the Budget Executive on 15 February 2011.  Budget Council would be held on 24 February 2011 and would make decisions on the overall budget for the council.

 

Officers went through the key issues in the report.  The Executive Member noted the savings that had already been made within the directorate, including those implemented through the More for York programme. 

 

It was noted that all growth in the directorate would be self-funding, other than the costs of the local elections.  From 2012/13 onwards it was proposed to set aside £70k per annum in order to build up the budget required for the local election cycle. 

 

RESOLVED:            (i)            That it be confirmed that the budget proposals are in line

                                    with the council’s priorities.

 

                        (ii)            That the report be referred to Budget Executive.

 

(iii)That thanks be recorded to staff for their hard work in preparing the report.

 

REASON:            As part of the 2011/12 budget consultation.
