Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report on the current position on the Medium Term Financial Plan (revenue budgets) for 2009-2010 to 2011-2012, including proposed pressures and savings.  During the discussion on budget pressures, Members requested officers to categorise the Customer Service Centre funding required as a high priority not unavoidable.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that, subject to the comment in the preamble above, the unavoidable and high pressures identified in Appendices A and B of the Report, together with those categorised as medium and low as shown at Appendix C of the report, be noted;

(b)       that officers continue to review the pressures and savings with the aim of balancing the budget for 2009-2010 and 2011-2012; and;

(c)        that officers investigate all options to mitigate the potential impact of redundancies across the council.
