That the Chief Finance Officer’s (CFO) report and the issues contained within, including the local government finance settlement and the sections on key risks, be noted when setting the council tax for 2017/18 and agreeing the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP).

The Executive considered the Chief Finance Officer’s report which set out the major financial issues facing the Council for consideration during the budget setting process.  The Local Government Act 2003 requires the Chief Finance Officer to report to Members, when setting the Council Tax, on the robustness of the budget presented and adequacy of reserves.

RESOLVED:  That the Chief Finance Officer’s (CFO) report and the issues contained within, including the local government finance settlement and the sections on key risks, be noted when setting the council tax for 2017/18 and agreeing the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP).
