Agenda item

Joint report of the Chamberlain and the Commissioner (copy attached).

The Committee considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and the Commissioner updating the Committee on the latest approved revenue budget for 2012/13 and seeking approval for the proposed revenue budget for 2013/14.

The Deputy Chairman sought assurances from the Chamberlain the funding for the Accommodation Project would not be met from the Force’s reserves. The Chamberlain explained that there was no intention to do so at present.

The Director of Corporate Services made reference to the 2013/14 budget set out in Appendix B, advising that this was predicated on the expected levels of funding from several grants which had not yet been confirmed. Should the budget change he undertook to keep Members updated.

RESOLVED: That:-

·         the latest approved revenue budget for 2012/13 be noted;

·         the 2013/14 revenue budget for submission to Finance Committee be approved; and,

·         the draft Capital budget be approved.
