To consider the report of the Interim Section 151 Officer, (copy enclosed).

The Committee considered the report of the Interim Section 151 Officer, reporting virements and supplementary estimates agreed under delegated powers and procurement exemptions granted.  The report also reported on the use of the Repairs and Maintenance reserve during the year.

Members were advised that there had been two supplementary estiamtes approved during the period 1 April – 30 September 2019 and these related to:

·                 Reinstatement of grave stone topple testing (£5,000 recurring);

·                 Operational costs of delivery of the new Heybridge Basin ward (£16,000 non-recurring).

One procurement exemption had also been approved for the purchase of three second-hand vehicles for the parks department.  It was noted that three vehicles were purchased rather than the two originally budgeted for.

There were no virements or drawback on reserves to report for this period.

RESOLVED that the supplementary estimates and procurement exemption detailed in the report be noted.
