Minutes:
The Committee gave consideration to a report providing information on savings options identified by officers for consideration for financial year 2021/22 and beyond.
Decision
The Policy and Resources Committee –
1.
Noted
the savings options identified by Officers and agreed by the Budget Working
Group to be moved forward to the 2021/22 budget process and noted that further
information on the options would be brought forward to Council as part of the
2021/22 budget papers.
2.
Noted
that the savings options developed were aimed at addressing the 2021/22 budget
gap but significant savings would be required in future years to address
continued significant funding gaps. This would be considered as part of the
revision of the medium to long term financial strategy.
3.
Noted
that officers would continue to identify further savings over the coming months
to bridge the gap.
4.
Noted
that the Head of Customer Support Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ would take forward a statutory
consultation process with the Trade Unions for those savings options that could
have a direct impact on jobs.
