BUDGET SETTING TIMETABLE 2002/2003
 

Consideration was given to a report regarding the budget planning process for 2002/2003 which took account of the new political management structures and the statutory requirements for setting council tax levels and giving notice of any rent increases that might be proposed.  A diagrammatic representation of the proposals was submitted.
 

The draft timetable provided for the reprogramming of some previously agreed meetings.  Notably, it might be necessary for the informal Council meeting on 13th February, 2002 to be formal in part, to enable consideration of any referral of the Housing Revenue Account budget.  Also, the 13th March, 2002 formal Council meeting would need to be brought forward to 6th March to allow proper management of the council tax billing process.  The Housing Scrutiny Committee due to take place on 6th March would therefore need to be reprogrammed.

That the timetable for bringing budget planning reports to Cabinet and for consideration of budget proposals by Council be approved as submitted.
