The Committee considered the budget monitoring report for the third quarter for the financial year 2013-2014 for the period 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2013.
It is forecast that the Council will be transferring the sum of £607,000 to reserves against a budget which proposed to utilise £1,473,000 from reserves. This represents an underspend against the original budget of £2,080,000.
The Beacon Park and Marina Centre funds would be rolled over.
It was agreed that the Scrutiny Committee would ask a representative from DCLG or a Minister why the Council had received the level of grant it had received and why it was of a reduced amount.
RESOLVED:
That the report be noted and that a Minister or a representative from DCLG be requested to attend a future Scrutiny Committee to explain why the Council received the level of grant and why it was of a reduced amount.
