Issue - meetings

RESOLVED

(i)                that the Minutes of the meeting of the Council held on 22 February 2023 be received.

Item 5 – Declaration of Interest

Councillor Mrs P A Channer advised that her declaration referred to the wrong Agenda Item and should read as follows:

Councillor Mrs P A Channer declared an interest in Agenda Item 12 - Business Rates Discretionary Rate Relief Scheme Agenda Item 7b Strategy and Resources Committee – 26 January 2023, Agenda Item 12: Council Tax Discretionary Discount Levels specifically regarding future matters and advised she would not speak or vote on this item of business.

This amendment was duly noted.

Item 8 – 2023 / 24 Budget and Medium-Term Financial Strategy

Councillor Mrs P A Channer advised of the following two amendments, which were subsequently noted by the Council:

·                  on page 9, the fourth paragraph was incorrect and should refer to ‘£6.35 a year’. 

·                  on page 11, the last sentence in paragraph 2 should read ‘those services were important to Residents were kept’.

Councillor A S Fluker queried whether paragraph three on page 10 was incomplete, as he thought Members had agreed his proposal which had been seconded.  In response to this query, Officers advised that they were unable to provide clarification until records had been checked.  The Chairman advised that the Committee Clerk would look into this matter and report back to the Council at the start of the second session of this meeting at 7pm. 

RESOLVED

(ii)              that with the exception of Minute 8 – 2023 / 24 Budget and Medium Term Financial Strategy and subject to the above amendments the Minutes of the meeting of the Council held on 22 February 2023 be confirmed.
