Minutes:

Cabinet acknowledged that the council was required to operate a balanced budget, which broadly means that cash raised during the year will meet cash expenditure. Part of the treasury management operation is to ensure that this cash flow is adequately planned, with cash being available when it is needed. Surplus monies are invested in low risk counterparties or instruments commensurate with the council’s low risk appetite, providing adequate liquidity initially before considering investment return. As part of the discussion, Cabinet considered the following key items in the report:

 

  • The second main function of the treasury management service was the funding of the council’s capital plans. These capital plans provided a guide to the borrowing need of the council, essentially the longer-term cash flow planning, to ensure that the council could meet its capital spending obligations.capital expenditure of £35.6m forecast over the next three years (2021-22 to 2023-24 inclusive), requiring borrowing of £4.8m;

 

·  No change to the Minimum Revenue Provision policy (policy for paying off the accumulated borrowing requirement).
