Budget for Financial year 2022/23 PDF 363 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The
committee were presented with the proposed budget for the
South West Wales Corporate Joint Committee for financial year 2022/23 and an amended
Appendix A as contained within the circulated report and reminded that they
were formally required to set a budget by 31st January 2022. In
its meeting on 13th January 2022 members of
the committee had made key decisions in line with legislation and a draft
budget was agreed. The levy apportionment on population was confirmed,
which allowed the draft budget to be amended and members were asked to note that
the proposed budget had dropped from £715,000 to £ 575.000 and certain elements
had been moved around slightly. Members’ attention was drawn
to the nominal budget amount allocated for sub-committees at this stage as
without knowing the exact work programme for the year it was difficult to
allocate a precise figure. The
committee was asked to note the assumptions around calculations as detailed on
page 13 of the report including that the transitional grant
supporting the South West Wales Corporate Joint Committee is currently
administered by Swansea Council. In addition it
was felt that it would be inappropriate to put a levy on National Parks this
year as the value is deminimus in terms of a charge. The
committee noted that the budget included provision for administrative support
as well as building a reserve. It
was queried if the original grant had been utilised to
cover all expenditure and if there was any remaining. It was confirmed that there
were elements of the grant still available and that it was
administered by Swansea Council as it had been arranged before s.151
responsibility had been discharged to Carmarthenshire and that it will remain
vested with Swansea for administration purposes. RESOLVED:
-
That the budget set out in the amended appendix A as
circulated be approved -
That the budget requirement for the South West Wales Corporate
Joint Committee as £575,411 be approved. -
-
That the Levy Charge based on population as contained within
the report be approved. |
