Revenue Estimates and District Rate 2024/25 Additional documents:
Minutes: (Mr. T. Wallace, Director of Finance, attended in connection with this item).
The Committee considered a report, which had been prepared by the Director of Finance, in relation to the establishment of the District Rate and the compilation of the Estimates of Revenue Expenditure for the year 2024/2025.
The Director outlined that the paper should not be subject to call-in as it would cause an unreasonable delay which would be prejudicial to the Council and the public’s interest in striking the district rate by the legislative deadline of 15th February, 2024.
He referred to the cash limit for the People and Communities Committee for 2024/2025, as recommended by the Strategic Policy and Resources Committee, at its meeting on 19th January, and outlined the next steps in the rate setting process leading to the setting of the district rate by the Council at its meeting in February 2024.
Following consideration, the Committee noted the next steps in the rate setting process and:
· agreed a cash limit for the People and Communities Committee for 2024/25 of £105,332,936 and the individual service cash limits; and
· agreed that the decision would not be subject to call-in, given that it would cause unreasonable delay which would be prejudicial to the Council’s and the public’s interests in striking the rate by the legislative deadline of 15th February, 2024.
