Joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Open Spaces.

The Committee considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Open Spaces updating them on their latest approved revenue budget for 2018/19 and seeking assurances for their provisional revenue budget for 2019/20, for subsequent submission to the Finance Committee.

The Chairman highlighted that it was important not to lose sight of the cyclical works detailed within the report.

RESOLVED – That, the Committee:

• Approve the provisional 2019/20 revenue budget for submission to the Finance Committee;

• 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, and changes to the Additional Works Programme. Any changes over £50,000 would be reported to Committee;

• Delegate to the Chamberlain any minor budget changes for 2018/19 and 2019/20 as a result of the completion of the asset verification exercise; and

• Approve the draft Capital and Supplementary Revenue budget.
