3 Motion

In terms of Standing Order 3.4, a written requisition by at least nine Members of the Council has been submitted to call for consideration of the undernoted motion:

"The Council acknowledges that using non-recurring such as reserves to balance the Council’s revenue budget increases the budget gap in the following year.

 

Council notes the approach adopted by the last administration of allocating one-off savings such as released reserves, refinanced loans and budget underspends to the Councils Investment Fund which has been used to support the development of the Council owned solar farms, Community Wealth Building, and the one-off cost-of-living support package.

 

Council believes the Investment Fund approach provides a strategic medium to long term plan to make the Council more financially sustainable, making possible transformational projects like council owned renewable energy as well as emergency support to residents in times like the current cost-of-living crisis.

 

Council therefore agrees that unearmarked reserves should be set at 2% in the forthcoming budget for 2023-24 with any additional surplus (currently around £3.25million) and end-of-year underspend allocated to the Investment Fund to support initiatives such as the i3 renewable energy plan."

Any other business which the Provost considers to be urgent.
