Issue - meetings

Appended to the agenda is a schedule of requests for virements.  Table 1 sets out virement requests for approval by the Executive.  Table 2 sets out virements approved under delegated authority by the Strategic Director. 

Recommendation

that the virements set out in table 1 of the agenda report be approved. 

The Executive considered an agenda report setting out ten requests for virements.  Councillors approved the requests.  However, in doing so, the Executive noted that it had to increase the council’s budget for standards investigations to cover the cost of escalating parish council complaints.  The council had a duty to carry out these standards hearings and was unable to recharge the parish councils for their costs. 

Councillors also noted details of six virements approved by the Chief Finance Officer under delegated authority. 

RESOLVED

To approve the virement requests set out in table 1 of the agenda report.
