Decision details

To note the forecast capital outturn position, and to approve amendments to the capital programme

It was not possible to circulate this report five clear days in advance of the meeting. The chair agreed to accept this item as urgent as the council regularly updates cabinet on the capital monitoring position. This was vitally important in the current circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, and its financial impact on the council’s overall financial position.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the forecast outturn and resources for 2020-21 and future years for both the general fund and housing investment programmes as detailed in Appendices A, B and D of the report be noted.

2.  That the virements and variations to the general fund and housing investment capital programme as detailed in Appendix C of the report be approved.

3.  That the inclusion in the programme of the capital bids set out in Appendix E of the report be approved.

4.  That the significant funding requirement of £384.1m which needs to be identified for the general fund programme to be fully delivered over the remaining term of the programme, as detailed in Appendix A of the report be noted.

5.  That the significant funding requirement of £103.9m which needs to be identified for the housing investment programme to be fully delivered over the remaining term of the programme, as detailed in Appendix B of the report be noted.
