805a | Medium Term Financial Plan
MP gave an overview of the Medium-Term Financial Plan. A discussion took place around the content of the report, in particular underspends in relation to the overall total budget and the fact that it was likely that there would be significant slippage in the 2016/17 financial year on the capital and revenue development programme. It was agreed that progress of work against previous Decision Notices needed to be completed, that projects allocated to 2017/18 needed to prioritised to ensure that 2016/17 projects were completed first and, that a reserves review needed to be provided to the Board the next time a financial update was provided. |
