Budget 2019/20 (A137/PN)

Minutes:

The Authority were asked to approve the 2019/20 Budget. It was noted that the budget had been prepared in accordance with the approach to investing in delivery of the Authority’s Corporate Strategy presented to Members on 7th December 2018, and workshops during the year.

 

It was noted that the 2019/20 financial year was the final year of the 4 year current spending review period, and it showed the inflation protection announced by the Chancellor in his Statement of 2015, which was then set out in the settlement letter from DEFRA in 2016. This showed an increase in the National Park Grant in 2018/19 of £113,272.

 

In discussing the report Members sought and received assurances on the reserve position. 

 

 

Cllr Jim Perkins left the room at 10:23 and returned at 10:27

 

Members  thanked the Head of Finance for a clear budget report and for making it self-explanatory.

 

The recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

 

1.    To approve the base budget for the 2019/20 financial year shown in Appendix 1 and 2 of the report.

 

2.    To note the financial position of the Authority in the period up to March 2020 as explained in paragraph 11 of the report.
