Chief Finance Officer (Deputy Chief Executive and CFO) to report to
Members, when setting the level of Council Tax, on the robustness
of the budget presented and adequacy of reserves. The CFO report

outlines the major financial issues facing the Council in the
medium-term period, which without the Council taking a commercial
approach could increase the reliance on council tax income as well
as impact on the future delivery of Council services.
