Minutes:
The
Committee chose to scrutinise the following items:
Cabinet
Board Proposals
6.1 Council Tax Write Offs
Members received information on
Council Tax Write Offs as
contained within the circulated
report.
Members asked for further information in the form
of a comparative report from another Council on Council Tax write offs.
Officers stated that while this would be possible, the comparison would be
difficult as the figures from a different Authority would be different to how
the figures are collated in this Council.
Members queried if officers collate the reasons why
Members of the public do not pay Council Tax and if there is a common thread.
Members asked for a Case Study on 3 individual case studies to be brought back
to a future meeting.
Members highlighted that Ward Members previously received
letters on changes of public in their ward and asked if these letters could be
reintroduced.
Following scrutiny, the Committee was supportive of
the proposal to be considered by the Cabinet Board.
