Agenda item

Joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Markets & Consumer Protection.

The Committee considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection detailing the revenue budgets they oversee and seeking approval to the latest revenue budget for 2016/17 and provisional revenue budget for 2017/18 for subsequent submission to the Finance Committee.

The Chamberlain reported that the increase of £19,000 referred to in the report was for existing Environmental Health costs in relation to massage and special treatment licences. She clarified that, although this had not previously been included in the budget, there was effectively no material change and that the inclusion of this sum now balanced income and expenditure on this item.

RESOLVED – That, Members:

·        Approve the latest 2016/17 revenue budget for submission to the Finance Committee;

·        Approve the provisional 2017/18 revenue budget for submission to Finance Committee; and

·        Authorise the Chamberlain, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to revise these budgets for changes in respect of the Late Night Levy and of recharges.
