Report of the Head of Centre, Epping Forest (copy attached).

The Committee considered a report of the Head of Centre relative to the draft 2013 Action Plan and 2013 Financial Estimates.

The Head of Centre stated that he was into the cycle for 2011/14 and that everything was working well.  He also stated that he hoped that the City would continue to fund the Centre at the same level as the previous year.

The Chairman together with the Superintendent informed the Head of Centre that it was currently too early to confirm what the figure would be but would hope to find out from the Epping Forest and Commons Committee in November the final figure.

The Chairman also noted that the budget projected a loss but FSC confirmed that any loss would be borne by them.

RESOLVED:  That the plan be approved, subject to the following additional conditions:

·                The City’s budget process; and

·                Discussions between the FSC’s Director of Finance and the Chamberlain in relation to FSC Central costs that had previously been agreed at 14% of the Centre’s budgeted operating expenditure
