Joint Report of the Chamberlain, the Town Clerk, the City Surveyor and the Remembrancer.

The Committee received a Report of the Chamberlain concerning the revenue outturn for 2019/20.

The Chamberlain apologised for the delay in submitting this paper, future iterations would be brought to the July meeting. She added that Carry forwards are much lower this year, this reflected the steer from the Chairman of Finance and the Chair of Policy & Resources to impose a much tougher line on carry forwards.

In response to a query concerning a carry forward for the MS extended Support line (appendix 2) – the Chamberlain would revert to the Member after the meeting to clarify the situation.

In response to a query concerning the impact of the £1m underspend in the Chamberlain’s department, the Chamberlain assured Members that the previous levels of productivity and output had been maintained.

The Chamberlain added that the £347,000 carry forward highlighted in the Report was for IT projects which had slipped into the current financial year.

RESOLVED – that the Committee noted the Report.
