Minutes:
The Corporate Portfolio Holder presented the report. He noted that this was currently a draft budget, and he thus encouraged the people of North West Leicestershire to write in to register any issues or suggestions that they might have.
The Chair echoed the Portfolio Holder’s receptiveness to ideas from outside parties. The Portfolio Holder advised that he was meeting the opposition in in the coming days to discuss the draft budget and see whether there were points of agreement.
It was moved by Councillor N Rushton, seconded by Councillor R Blunt and
RESOLVED THAT:
1) The Draft General Fund Revenue, Capital and Special Expenses Budget, the Medium-Term Financial Plan (MTFP) for 2024/25 to 2028/29 and the budget proposals contained within the report and the proposed fees and charges for 2024/25 be proposed for statutory consultation.
2) The key risks to the Council’s budget be noted.
3) Responsibility be delegated to the Chief Executive in consultation with the Strategic Director of Resources (S151 Officer) and the relevant Portfolio Holder to spend £500k from the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) Reserve on the Transformation Programme.
Reason for decision: required as part of the 2024/25 budget setting process.
