Decision details

Budget 2016-17 and Medium Financial Plan 2016-2020

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To present the draft budget for the General Fund, Housing Revenue Account and Capital programme for 2016-17 and the draft Medium Term Financial Plan for 2016-2020 for Cabinet to recommend to Full Council.

Decision:

Cabinet agreed to delegate the authority for the approval of the EK Housing Management Fee to the Director of Community Services in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Housing and Planning.

Reasons for the decision:

A proposal on the main budgetary requirement has already been provided and is included within the main budget report, however, as the negotiation on the EKH Management Fee is undertaken across the 4 partner authorities final decision will require some flexibility outside the budgetary reporting timetable.

Alternative options considered:

Any change from the provisional figure within the budget could go back to Cabinet for decision. However, as agreement has to be reached across 4 partners the Council’s timetable for Cabinet meetings may mean that TDC hold up the agreement across the partners as to the level of Management Fee for EKH.
