Report of the Interim Director of Resources

Presented by the Corporate Portfolio Holder

Minutes:

The Corporate Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members, highlighting the fact that it would be the eighth consecutive year without an increase in council tax and this was something that no other authority in Leicestershire had been able to achieve.  He referred to the reserves figure which was prudent in the current climate, especially due to the uncertainty with the new homes bonus scheme.  He concluded that Cabinet were approving the proposals for statutory consultation and they would also be considered by the Policy Development Group in January. 

 

It was moved by Councillor N J Rushton, seconded by Councillor R D Bayliss and

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

a)       The 2017/18 budget proposals be agreed for statutory consultation.

 

b)       The Localisation of Council Tax Support Grant at the current level of 85 percent continue to be supported.

 

Reason for decision: Required to complete the 2017/18 budget process.
