Issue - meetings

The Senior Accounting Technician submitted a report on the Period 5 Budget Monitoring position as at the end of August 2020.

There had been additional expenditure on staffing, supplies and services caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. A decision had been taken to offer free webcasting to families during this time and therefore £13,486 of income had been forgone. Planned works had been delayed and so premises costs and capital expenditure were below profile. The committee heard that the increase in income was as a result of an increase in the number of cremations and extended use of the chapel. It was noted that therefore there was a favourable profiled variance.

RESOLVED –

That the report be noted.

REASON FOR DECISION

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