Joint Report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Open Spaces (copy attached).

The Committee considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Open Spaces updating Members on its latest approved revenue budget for 2012/13 and sought approval for a provisional revenue budget for 2013/14, for subsequent submission to the Finance Committee. The budgets had been prepared within the resources allocated to the Director and the table in the report summarises the position.

RESOLVED: That Members,

i)     review the provisional 2013/14 revenue budget to ensure that it reflects the Committee’s objectives and, if so, approve the budget for submission to the Finance Committee;

ii)    review and approve the draft capital budget;

iii)   authorise the Chamberlain, in consultation with the Director of Open Spaces, to revise these budgets to allow for any further implications arising from Corporate Projects, departmental reorganisations and other reviews, changes to the Additional Works Programme, and implications arising from Carbon Trading Allowances.
