Issue - meetings

The Executive Director, Finance and Corporate Resources, informed Members that they would be provided with information on the Council’s budget position and any budget bids submitted by senior Officers for inclusion in its 2012/13 budget ahead of the special Board meeting on 5th December 2011. This would give Members the opportunity to consider the reports ahead of the meeting and to request further information if necessary.

It was explained that the Cabinet would start considering the budget bids at its meeting on 2nd November 2011. The information would therefore be publicly available. However, any sensitive information might need to be considered in confidential session at the meeting of the Board on 5th December 2011.

RESOLVED that the Work Programme be noted.
