Agenda Item 272 – Fees and Charges Policy 2024 / 25

Recommended that the 2024 / 25 Fees and Charges Policies at APPENDIX 1 be approved.

The Council considered the recommendation set out on the agenda coming forward for consideration from the Strategy and Resources Committee.

Minute No. 272 – Fees and Charges Policy 2024 / 25

The Interim Chief Finance Officer advised that one amendment was required to the Policy prior to approval.  The amendment related to wharfage fees which the Council, in February 2023, had agreed to provide a 50% discount on until the end of 2025 / 26.  She informed the Council that the detailed Fees and Charges Schedule would be brought back to the Council for final approval.

The Chairperson put the recommendation, subject to the above amendment, to the Council.  This was duly seconded.

Councillor A S Fluker referred to the ‘Green Waste Bin Service’ item highlighted in Appendix 1 appended to this item on the agenda and particularly reference to ‘and in line with other authorities’.  He expressed concern regarding the proposed change to the Council’s policy and resulting fee increase.  Councillor Fluker then proposed that reference to ‘and in line with other authorities’ in this item be deleted.  This proposal was duly seconded.  The Chairperson advised that there was already a proposal on the table and the Council would vote on that first and should it fail then Councillor Fluker’s’ proposition would be put.

The Chairperson then moved his earlier proposition which upon a vote being taken this was agreed.

RESOLVED that subject to the above amendment relating to wharfage fees, the 2024 / 25 Fees and Charges Policies attached at Appendix 1 to the report be approved.
