Issue - meetings

The Senior Accounting Technician presented the Committee’s revenue estimate for 2019/20 to 2022/2023.

The following points were outlined in the report:

·The budget included the revised scale of fees previously agreed at the Committee meeting 23 September, 2019.

·     The schedule of repairs agreed by committee 23 May, 2019 were included.

·     The pension review was ongoing and it was hoped that the outcome would be known at the end of the financial year.

·     £3k had been built into the budgets from 2020/21 in order
to accommodate the costs of a carbon offsetting scheme

It was noted that some repairs work are required on two drains and also to remedy cracks in the Chapel wall. At present the full nature and cost of these works are unknown and have therefore not been included in the budgets. The Board were made aware that this will therefore create a variance to the budget at some time in the future.

RESOLVED –

1. That the revenue estimates for 2019/2020 be approved.

2. That the Capital schemes as outlined in paragraphs 3.4 and 6.7 of the officer’s report be approved.

3. That pursuant to Minute No. 19 (Chesterfield and District Joint
Crematorium Committee, 2016/17) approval be given to redistribute funds to the total of £639,190 to the Constituent
Authorities for 2019/20. This includes an additional amount to re-distribute excess funds held in the Revenue Reserve from 2018/19 (see paragraph 6.2)

4. That the planned use of reserves as outlined in paragraph 6.0 of the officer’s report be approved.

REASON FOR DECISION –

To enable the Crematorium to set a balanced budget and maintain
adequate reserves for 2019/20 and in future years.
