Agenda item

The Head of Finance highlighted the three main increases in specific reserves:

·         Restructuring

·         Information and Communications Technology (ICT)

·         Minerals and Legal

The possible demands on the restructuring reserve would be considered further by Members at a workshop in July.

The Head of Information Management would bring reports to the July ARP committee

on the Information Management Strategy and proposals to refresh the ICT infrastructure.

It was agreed that a fuller briefing would be arranged by officers for the Chair and  Vice Chair of Planning Committee on the schedule of Minerals and Legal reserve and the mitigation in place to deal with risks arising from case work.

The recommendation was moved, seconded, voted upon and carried.

RESOLVED:

The Committee notes the objectives set out for each reserve and endorses the current policy.
