Report of the Finance Team Manager

Anna Wright, Finance Team Manager, presented the report and draft Special Expenses Policy to Members and invited comments on the policy for feedback into the decision-making process later in the year.

In response to questions from Members, it was explained that the policy had been put together to formalise the Council’s existing position on Special Expenses. This was due to several requests  from the Working Party in recent years to fund work such as air quality that could not be classed or funded through Special Expenses and alternative funding sources had needed to be found.

The Leisure Services Team Manager also observed that a recent request by Members for officers to look into the Mobile Vehicle Activated Signage and report to a future meeting was an area relevant to this Policy as it could not be funded through Special Expenses.

It was moved by Councillor J Legrys, seconded by Councillor M Wyatt and

RESOLVED THAT
