Joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Community and Children’s Services (copy attached).

The Committee considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Community and Children’s Services submitting the revenue budgets overseen by the Committee and seeking approval to the provisional revenue budget for 2013/14, for subsequent submission to the Finance Committee.

The Chamberlain reported that, overall, the 2013/14 provisional revenue budget totals £149,000, an increase of £9,000 compared with the final budget for 2012/13. He reported that this was due to making provision for RPI within the Memorandum of Understanding.

The Chairman highlighted that the service overview at Annexes ‘B1’ and ‘B2’ was to be revised and updated before re-submission to the Committee by email before its next meeting. It was agreed that this would reflect the most up-to-date position and would also include reference to the capital sum received by the City following the sale of the Royal Exchange lease.

RESOLVED – That, the Committee approve the provisional 2013/14 revenue budget for submission to the Finance Committee.
