There was submitted Report No. 509-2001 by the Director of Finance providing the Committee with an analysis of the 2001/02 Projected Revenue Outurn as at 30th June 2001 monitored against the adjusted 2001/02 Revenue Budget.

 

The Committee agreed to:-

(iii)instruct the Director of Finance to take every reasonable action to eliminate the projected overspend referred to in (i) above; and

 

(iv)instruct the Director of Finance, in conjunction with all Chief Officers of the Council to continue to monitor the Council's 2001/2002 Projected Revenue Outurn.
