To review projected revenue outturn for 2017/18 and invite cabinet members to consider performance for the first two months of the year.

THAT:

(a) performance for the first two months of 2017/18 and projected financial outturn are reviewed and cabinet determines any additional actions required to achieve improvement; and

(b) £200k be vired from the waste management budget to the community

services budget.

To provide assurance that progress is being made towards achievement of the

agreed revenue budget and service delivery targets, and that the reasons for major

variances or potential under-performance are understood and are being addressed to

the cabinet’s satisfaction.

Cabinet may: choose to review financial and operational performance more or less

frequently; or determine alternative actions to address any identified areas of underperformance, including referral to the relevant scrutiny committee.

It is open to cabinet not to approve the proposed virement; this is not recommended

because the virement would ensure that community services continue to operate

within approved budgets pending delivery of the planned savings during the lifetime

of the medium term financial strategy.
