There was submitted Report No 23-2001 by the Director of Finance providing members with an analysis of the 2000/2001 Revenue Out-Turn as at 30th November 2000 monitored against the adjusted 2000/2001 Revenue Budget.

 

The Committee instructed the Director of Finance, in conjunction with all Chief Officers of the Council, to continue to monitor the Council's 2000/2001 projected Revenue Out-turn and to use his best endeavours to ensure that the final outcome for the financial year was as close to the approved Revenue Budget as possible.

 

In addition, the Committee noted that the overall General Fund 2000/2001 projected Revenue Out-turn, as at 30th November 2000, showed an overspend of 125,000 against the adjusted 2000/2001 Revenue Budget and that the Housing Revenue Account projected a 2000/2001 spend in line with budget.
