Decision details

The minutes of the previous meeting, held on 6 June 2023, were approved as a correct record and SIGNED by the Leader subject to the following amendments:

a)    Minute no. 5 – 2022/23 Annual Treasury Management Outturn Report

The Cabinet were informed that this report should have included an onward recommendation from the Cabinet to full Council for approval, it had not.

The Leader asked the Cabinet whether they were content to RECOMMEND the 2022/23 Annual Treasury Management Outturn Report to full Council for approval on 19^th July 2023. A vote in favour of this was taken and was carried unanimously.

b)    Question no.2 asked by Mr Barry Warren at the 6^th June Cabinet meeting to be amended to read:

Question 2.

If the Company has not sold any properties since The Orchards in Halberton, is it not therefore a fact that 3 Rivers are paying interest to the Council out of loans from the Council? 

Answer

In Paragraph 3.5.7, on page 36 of the papers, it is reported that Council agreed to commission an external 3 Rivers option appraisal. 

An amount of £30k was included in the Revised 2023/24 Budget for this review. I am aware that the last Cabinet agreed, with Officers, the terms of reference for that review and directed that the reviewer be appointed before the election date (of 4th May 2023) in order that the results of the review would be available early for the new Cabinet to consider.
