Report of the Chamberlain and Director of Open Spaces.

The Committee noted the revenue outturn for the services overseen by the

Committee in 2015/16 with the final agreed budget for the year. Members noted that the Director’s better than budget position of £23,000 (Local Risk) has been

aggregated with budget variations on services overseen by other committees,

which produces an overall better than budget position of £903,000 (Local Risk)

across all Open Spaces. It is proposed to carry forward £500,000 of this

underspend. These requests will be considered by the Chamberlain in

consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Resource Allocation

Sub Committee.

The City Surveyor’s better than budget position of £61,000 is mainly due to an

underspend in the Additional Works Programme. In the tables, figures in brackets indicate income or in hand balances, increases in income or decreases in expenditure.

Resolved – that the update be noted.
