Minutes:

The Executive Director, Finance and Resources introduced the item which was seeking the approval of the appropriate formal resolutions to determine the levels of Council Tax for 2020/21, taking into account the requirements of this Council, Worcestershire County Council, Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia, Hereford and Worcester Fire & Rescue Authority and the various Parish Councils.

 

It was noted that, whilst the figures quoted within the report had not changed at all, the cross references to the Medium Term Financial Plan were incorrect, as the report had been considered at the Cabinet meeting on 15th January.  Revised recommendations were therefore tabled at the meeting and would be attached to these minutes for ease of reference.  It was also highlighted that at 3.3 of the report the figure quoted should be £1,875.28 and not £1,809.56 as stated.

(b)    for dwellings in those parts of its area to which a Parish precept relates the amounts as shown in Column 4 of the attached Schedule 1.

(b)       £33,183,608  being the aggregate of the amounts which the Council estimates for the items set out in Section 31A (3) of the Act.  (i.e. Gross income)                      

 

(c)        £9,435,442 being the amount by which the aggregate of 2.2.2 (a) above exceeds the aggregate at 2.2.2 (b) above, calculated by the Council, in accordance with Section 31A (4) of the Act, as its Council Tax requirement for the year. (Item R in the formula in Section 31B of the Act).                   

 

(d)       £253.58 being the amount at 2.2.2 (c) above (Item R), all divided by Item T (2.1.(a) above), calculated by the Council, in accordance with Section 31B of the Act, as the basic amount of its Council Tax for the year (including Parish precepts).
