Budget Process 2019/20

Meeting: 17/05/2018 - Corporate Resources Overview & Scrutiny Committee (Item 6)

Budget Process 2019/20 (verbal)

Decision:

That the verbal update be noted.

Minutes:

The Chief Executive provided a verbal update on the budget process for 2019/20.   He informed Members that there would be two all-Member workshops in July to discuss stage one of the budget.  The intention was for the first workshop to be informative on Council budgets, and the second to explore budget options.

 

It was emphasised that the budget process was beginning three months earlier than in previous years, so that Members had all the information to make important decisions.  The Democratic Services Manager confirmed that the first workshop would take place at 10.30 a.m. on 13 July and the second at 2.00 p.m. on 23 July.

 

There was no significant change in the budget forecast to report at this early stage of planning for 2019/20.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the verbal update be noted.
