Joint report of The Chamberlain and the Interim Executive Director Environment.

The Committee received a joint report of The Chamberlain and the Interim Executive Director Environment regarding the revenue budgets for the Licensing Committee for 2024/25.

A Member raised a point regarding table one on page 58, on the issue of approved revised budgets. It was noted that the Finance Committee had been clear that the procedure of having the latest approved budget must stop. These must be done with the original budget rather than the revised, as this was particularly important for monitoring functions. The Committee noted that the values on the table were the original budget plus the approved adjustments only, therefore this was not a revision. The Chairman suggested that the wording in the column is changed to reflect this, to which officers agreed to take the feedback back to the Chamberlain.

RESOLVED – That Members,

·       review and approve the proposed Licensing Committee revenue budget for 2024/25 for submission to Finance Committee.
