Report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

 Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services and the Chamberlain which provided the annual submission of the Revenue and Capital Budgets overseen by the Barbican Residential Committee.

In response to a query about the variation between the original to latest approved budgets, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, who is also a Member of this Committee, advised that he would be raising this at tomorrow’s meeting of the Finance Committee. A Member suggested that the information about the variations might be more transparent in future reports.  Whilst noting these comments, the Chairman suggested that Members might benefit from a half day training session with the Chamberlain, covering the compilation of the annual budget reports.

RESOLVED, that:

1.     The provisional 2018/19 Revenue Budget be approved for submission to the Finance Committee.

2.     The draft Capital Budget be approved.

3.     The Chamberlain be authorised to revise these budgets to allow for further implications arising from departmental reorganisations, other reviews and corporate projects.
