Decision details

To accept the report on the end of August 2019 review of the Revenue Budget, and: 

1)    Note that there is a significant overspend by the Adults, Health and Well-being Department this year, and as complex details need to be clarified in this picture in Adults care, the Chief Executive has already called a meeting of the relevant officers to gain a better understanding and a clear response programme, as is the case in Child care.

2)    Ask the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, together with the Head of Children and Families Department, to get to the root of the Department's overspend and take steps to bring the situation within control and within budget by the end of the financial year and report to the Cabinet on their response plan.

3)    Allow the Environment Department to earmark (£220k) of the department's underspend following a recent judicial review of a capital scheme relating to the Llanbedr access Road, due to reasons beyond the Council's control, by putting it into a specific fund for this purpose.

4)    On Corporate budgets, transfer: 

-       (£240k) relating to capital costs to the capital programme’s financing fund.

-       (£995k) relating to repair and maintenance to the repair and maintenance fund.

-       net underspend of (£1,632k) on Corporate Budgets to the Supporting the Financial Strategy Fund to mitigate the risk of overspending of Council departments in 2019/20.
