Service Charge Working Party

Minutes:

 

  • The Chair reminded the Committee that a “root and branch” review of the budget process for 2025/26 with assistance from the Chamberlain’s Department had been committed to but there had been significant delay. However, there had been a recent, welcome change of approach with responsibility and accountability for the budget production and justification passing to the Assistant Director of the BRE. The Assistant Director advised the Committee that the budget had historically ran concurrently with the City Fund risk but the City Fund budget and risk had now been separated from the local risk and service charge contributions. Officers would continue to review, change and monitor the service charge budget for the following year and a report was expected to be submitted to the RCC at its first meeting of 2025 following consultation with the working party to finalise figures.</AI7>
