(See pages 64 – 76 of the main agenda)
It was noted that an addendum report which set out a revised version of paragraph 13 of the main report had been circulated on page 2 of supplemental agenda 1.
The clerk stated that as part of its consideration of the previous item on the revenue budget, council assembly had agreed the level of council tax for 2013/14. This had been set out in the cabinet’s recommendation which had been agreed in the substantive motion on item 2.1. Council assembly now needed to formally agree the council tax resolution in line with the decisions of item 2.1.
In accordance with council assembly procedure rule 2.11 (2), the report was formally moved by the Mayor.
The recommendations contained within the report were put to the vote and declared to be carried.
