As detailed in the recommendations.

The Director of Environment presented the report to propose the Council Fund Capital Programme for 2013/14 and to provide indicative details for 2014/15 to 2022/23, following consultation with the Corporate Resources Overview & Scrutiny Committee.  Since approval of the indicative allocations by Cabinet in December 2012, specific allocations were now £2,000 less than had been notified as a result of the final settlement.  The Director drew attention to the main points raised by Overview & Scrutiny in January 2013 and advised that the full programme for 2013/14 amounted to £29.908m.

RESOLVED:

That, taking account of the detail contained in the report to Cabinet on 18 December 2012 and the positive response from Corporate Resources Overview & Scrutiny, the following be recommended to Council on 1 March 2013:

(a)       Note the work that has been undertaken (and continues) to develop a Council Fund Capital Strategy and 10 year capital programme;

(b)       Note the estimated capital funding available over the 10 year period 2013/14 to 2022/23 (as shown in Appendix 1);

(c)        Approve the inclusion in the programme of the core service allocations to the maximum levels shown for 2013/14 (as detailed in Appendix 2), which takes account of the second year funding requirement (and funding through to completion in 2015/16) in respect of those schemes funded from ‘headroom’ as part of the approved 2012/13 Capital Programme;

(d)       Approve the allocation of resources on the basis of a two year programme (2013/14/15), which provides a net £0.106m available to meet minor contingencies, as necessary;

(e)       Note the total Council Fund Capital Programme for 2013/14 (as set out in Appendix 3) which includes those schemes funded from specific grants, unsupported (prudential) borrowing and LGBI, over and above the general funding detailed in Appendix 1; and

(f)        Note the indicative core programme details for 2014/15 to 2022/23 (as set out in Appendix 2).
