Issue - meetings

The Bereavement Services Manager and Clerk and Treasurer submitted a report on the Period 5 Budget Monitoring position as at the end of August 2016.

It was noted that the budget was currently showing a favourable profiled variance of £118,073 and this was detailed in the following:

·        Employee costs

·        Premises costs

·        Transport

·        Supplies and services

·        Agency and contracted services

·        Income

The report also noted that an increased capital expenditure was required for the purchase of a new tractor.

It was anticipated that the outturn for the year would come in under the original budget. All the above issues would be taken into account when the revised budget was prepared and presented to the committee on 12 December, 2016.

RESOLVED –

1)   That the report be noted.

2)   That the capital expenditure of £28,170 for the new tractor, increased from the £26,000 as originally budgeted for, be noted.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATIONS

To keep the Joint Committee informed about the current financial performance of the Joint Crematorium.
