Decision details

Before the Committee was a report by the Director for Digital, Sustainability & Resources, copies of which had been circulated to all Members and a copy of which is attached to the signed copy of these minutes as Item 6.

The report updated the Adur Joint Strategic Sub-Committee with the latest expenditure and income projections for Adur District Council and Worthing Borough Council for the current financial year 2022/23, compared to the Revenue Budget approved by both Councils in February. Whilst the 'spend to date' was the position as at the 30th September 2022, the forecast outturn position reflected the latest information available to ensure an up-to-date forecast was presented.

As at quarter 2, the current outturn projection for the 2022/23 financial year for the Adur District Council General Fund was a net overspend after reserve transfers of £64,000. A breakdown was set out in section 4.4 of the report.

Members welcomed the report and paid thanks to the officers for all of their work in getting to this position.

The recommendations in the report were unanimously supported.

The Adur Joint Strategic Sub-Committee noted the report and projected outturn position for the Joint Committee and Adur District Council against the approved revenue budgets and proposed use of reserves (Appendix 2b).
