A
Thank
you,
hello.
Everybody
welcome
to
the
joint
budget
decision
session,
which
covers
finance
and
performance
and
the
leaders,
portfolio,
policy
strategy
and
partnerships
which
have
seen
from
that
the
papers
in
terms
of
the
revenue
proposals
in
those
portfolios,
but
also
the
capital
proposals
across
a
number
of
different
portfolios,
and
so
the
first
agenda
item,
declarations
of
interest
and
I.
Don't
have
any
to
declare
second
item
public
participation
and
we
have
two
registered
speakers,
and
first
speaker
is
Gwen.
Swinburne
is
here
about
the
financial
strategy.
B
C
B
B
B
A
D
Yes,
well,
I
have
a
previous
speakers
comments
about
the
amount
of
money
if
we
are
going
to
be
I'd
like
that's
just
the
same
as
the
Arts
Council
that
give
me
half
of
what
this
piece
proposed
to
new
fifty
thousand
five
hundred
thousand.
They
are
our
business
and
how
many
more
years
have
been
a
support.
They
ought
to
learn
to
stand
on
their
own
two
feet
like
the
Joseph
Rowntree
and
the
ground
up.
Perhaps
why
is
it
such
a
thing
that
we
have
to
support
a
Theatre
Royal,
all
right?
D
It's
a
good
amenity
for
the
city.
Lots
of
outsiders
come
on
coaches
that
don't
nationally
spend
a
lot
of
money
in
your
when
you
do
with
the
faculty
leaves
have
our
slingshots
are
hot
door
outside
the
theater,
so
half
how
badly
money
comes
from
outsiders,
so
it's
not
just
for
your
residents.
The
theater,
however
I'll
say
actually
gets
too
much.
There
are
business
after
all
that
business
like
that
when
I
was
sitting
today
here,
a
cast
own
Charlie
dropped
a
long
time
and
I
understood
what
his
arguments
for
whatever
reason.
E
D
D
That
you
gave
them
four
years
ago,
it
included
server
access.
So
what
did
they
do
with
the
money?
I
think
they
need
to
be
watched
and
make
sure
they
would
use
the
mind,
manage
the
money
properly
and
do
the
things
that
are
supposed
to
do
about
the
social
of
mental
care
and
other
children's
things
that
are
going
going
off
performing.
They
should
be
I
said
on
Monday,
if,
if
all
the
landlords
of
the
HMOs
in
student
accommodation
pay,
the
council
tax
are
part
of
it,
then.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much
to
both
public
speakers
of
us
who
were
technical
comments
or
questions
into
account
when
we
get
to
the
substantive
item
on
the
agenda,
and
that
brings
us
straight
on
to
item
three,
which
is
the
financial
strategy.
Twenty
twenty
two
twenty
one
to
twenty
four
twenty
five
and
I'll
handle
the
first
fully
to
introduce
it
to
us.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
You
the
report
to
this
joint
decision
session
is
to
provide
the
key
information
in
advance
of
the
revenue
and
capital
budget
reports
that
will
be
going
forward
to
executive
on
13th
of
February
and
budget
Council
on
the
27th
of
February.
The
key
assumptions
around
this
year's
budget
are
shown
in
paragraph
three
being
a
council
tax
increase
of
one
point:
nine,
nine
percent,
the
two
percent
increase
in
Social
Care
precept
and
a
revenue
savings
target
of
four
million
pounds.
C
The
key
investments
in
the
revenue
budget
are
shown
in
paragraph
six
and
seven
and
highlight
the
investments
in
the
capital
program
proposed
across
all
council
profiles
with
over
fifty
three
million
pounds,
which
will
be
added
to
the
council's
capital
budget.
The
report
also
provides
background
into
the
national
take
from
locals
context
around
this
year's
budget.
Setting
consultation
is
taking
place
with
both
residents,
businesses,
of
which
further
detail
is
provided
in
the
report.
The
annexes
provide
details
of
the
proposed
growth
and
savings
within
these
two
portfolio.
C
C
C
A
The
initial
consultation
took
place
with
residents
that
helped
to
feed
into
the
proposals
that
are
in
front
of
us
today
and
obviously
these
decision
sessions
are
in
a
sense
the
next
stage
of
the
consultation
with
residents
and
what
particularly
have
we
done
with
businesses
as
part
of
that
whole
process.
So.
C
We've
promoted
during
Business
Week
and
asking
businesses
to
take
part
in
the
consultation
we've
promoted
to
consult
consultation
by
on
our
social
media
website
channels,
as
we
have
seen
in
previous
years,
so
good
key
stakeholders
in
the
city
were
asked
to
pass
on
details
to
their
members
and
we've
done
this
every
year.
Examples
include
the
bid
Chamber
of
Commerce
making.
C
A
Presumably,
when,
when
the
papers
get
brought
back
together
to
go
to
executive
and
we
can
have
a
specific
update
on
the
business
consultation
alongside
the
resident
engaging,
presumably
some
still
come
coming
in
to
pull
that
together
and
thank
you
and
just
a
general,
a
general
point
that
I
was
young
I'm
aware
that
there
has
been
consideration
of
equalities
issues
in
creating
this
report
that
is
outlined
on
paragraphs
46
to
48.
But
just
for
the
minutes.
E
Typically,
lasting
impact
assessment,
it's
not
to
reassure
you
as
decision-makers
that
that
document
is
not
as
a
standalone
finished
document.
It
remains
as
a
living
document
throughout
the
entire
budgetary
process.
So
there's
a
lot
of
factors
that
feed
into
it.
It
could
be
responses
from
consultation.
It
could
be
further
analysis
and
then
outcomes
of
these
meetings
and
comment
ways,
but
it
does
remain
a
living
document.
So
the
one
to
present
it
to
full
council
agrees
today
was
possible
to
support
the
budget
so
ensure
that
you
can
make
a
fully
reasoned
detailed
decision.
E
So
it
is
a
living
living
document
that
will
be
provided.
So
what
we
have
now
is
a
stopgap
in
time
in
terms
of
the
known
impacts
that
we
have
on
the
protected
characteristics.
There's
a
90
in
total
and
for
the
purposes
of
today
highlighted
some
of
the
areas
where
we
already
know
there
are
some
in
negative
potential
negative
impacts.
Then
some
potential
mitigation
that's
going
in,
but
that
will
change
as
the
budgetary
process
continues,
that
we
constantly
reviewed
for
this.
Thank.
A
You
and
and
a
general
point,
obviously
there's
a
question
earlier
about
dual
Theatre:
Royal
I,
don't
expect
it.
The
particular
offices
personally
I
have
no
issue
that,
for
example,
in
a
decision
session
report
coming
forward
to
the
relevant
executive
member
and
asking
the
the
theater
to
obviously
going
forward
what
they
are
doing
on
accessibility
and
sustainability
beyond
this,
which
I
think
would
be
an
interesting
discussion
to
have
at
that
time.
So,
just
to
note
that
cats
lair
not.
F
F
It
doesn't
you
mentioned-
is
that
it's
what's
known
as
a
national
portfolio
organization
and
tentative
Arts,
Council
funding,
so
they
are
actually
receiving
2.2
million
pounds
of
funding
from
the
Arts
Council
between
2018
and
2022,
as
for
portfolio
held
a
fellatio
is
something
well-versed
in
that
funding
is
always
continued
from
the
our
Council
on
there
being
some
level
of
support
from
the
local
authority.
If
local
authorities
do
not
support
arts
case
or
organizations,
the
Arts
Council
will
not
step
in
and
fill
that
gap.
F
So
if
I
were
to
give
the
theater
oil
nothing,
they
wouldn't
affect.
I
lose
two
point:
three
million
pounds
of
investment
from
the
Arts
Council,
something
that
is
part
of
why
they
have
a
swag
didn't
do
musicals
with
the
same
in
terms
of
how
we
support
those
something
there
are
four
national
portfolio
organizations
within
your
boundaries
and
all
of
those
providing
some
level
of
local
authority
funding.
So
it
is
slightly
different
and
also
responds
to
the
pure
commercialism.
F
I
think
commercialism
drag
around
certain
programming
in
a
certain
agenda,
and
the
theater
world
should
always
be
appreciative.
Do
things
over
and
above
what
is
commercially
viable
in
many
ways
in
terms
of
living,
art
and
culture.
For
the
city
topping
those
are
the
two.
You
want
differences
in
terms
of
theater
volume
and
that's
why
you
do
have
to
continue
to
support
them.
We
took
the
decision.
F
I
took
the
decision
four
years
ago
to
seize
the
revenue,
support
grant,
and
that
was
done
in
consultation
with
the
theater
board
and
in
consultation
with
the
Arts
Council
to
see
what
was
sort
of
the
minimum
level
of
investment.
We
could
maintain
to
enable
to
keep
Arts
Council
funding,
and
that
was
the
capital
of
evening.
He
had
in
four
years
ago
that
period
to
come
to
an
end.
F
F
E
G
F
C
G
Will
be
other
things
such
as
just
the
general
highways
program,
for
example,
a
lot
of
the
ongoing
scheme
you
see
in
the
program
show
in
every
year
are
typically
not
schemes
who
get
grant
funding
for,
and
so
some
of
them
are.
You
know,
disposed
day
to
day
schemes
as
well.
So
yes,
so
those
are
the
big
ones,
but
there
are
there
ones
in
the
program
as
well.
So
it's
funding
a
whole
range
of
schemes.
G
It
was
just
the
other
points
made
I
think
I,
think
in
terms
of
schemes
referred
to
except
member.
Quite
a
lot
of
them
do
end
up
going
back
to
exact
member
decision
and
when
you
look
at
their
list
on
the
capital,
certainly
numbers
will
naturally
go
there.
So
things
like
city
center
access
measures,
the
high-risk
schemes
tend
to
be
subject
to
exact
number
decisions
and
progress
reports.
G
E
G
That's
the
asset
management
to
put
forward
a
proposal.
They
do
talk
about
half
a
million
pounds
over
a
four
year
period
and
that
is
really
looking
at
building
on
some
previous
schemes,
where
they've
invested
both
for
the
regeneration
protecting
the
city,
but
also
achieve
a
commercial
in
terms
of
purchase
of
assets.
So
that
is
really
just
looking
at
the
potential.
In
terms
of
looking
at
that,
in
terms
of
where
we
might
invest
to
get
a
return
to
make
some
savings
and
then
protect
from
line
services,.
G
B
F
A
Check
right
and
no
more
room
from
me,
so
just
just
to
obviously
that
reflect
really
on
the
visit.
That's
Pauline
highlighted
in
terms
of
paragraphs.
It's
obviously
highlights
a
range
of
areas
where
there's
significant
revenue
in
investment
and
lots
of
action
to
find
a
specific
policy
and
strategy,
but
into
other
areas,
but
Mike.
My
colleagues
would
have
spoken
well,
I,
hope
or
win
that
their
decision
sessions,
but
for
the
purposes
of
this
decision
session
in
paragraph
seven,
he
does
talk
about
a
range
of
capital,
budgets
and
I.
A
Think
some
of
them,
such
as
the
use
of
Robotics,
which
is
in
comparison
to
the
rest
of
the
structure
with
the
capital,
throw
and
the
relatively
small
amount,
but
actually
in
the
next
four
years
that
they
will
become
increasingly
important,
particularly
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
ongoing
sort
of
budgetary
pressures
in
adult
social
care,
not
just
for
us,
but
across
the
country
and
I.
Look
forward
to
schemes
like
that
and
coming
to
fruition
over
the
over
the
course
of
the
year.
So
the
recommendation
that
we've
got
in
front
of
us.
A
Is
to
consider
the
revenue
savings
proposal
for
this
portfolio
assets
our
next
one
to
consider
the
revenue
growth
proposals
as
set
out
in
annex
2
and
the
feedback
from
the
consultation
for
their
portfolio
for
the
portfolio
which
is
happening
on
x3
and
particularly
for
this
decision
session.
The
schemes
for
inclusion
in
the
capital
strategy
and,
as
sets
out
for
annex
for
and
obviously
in
Sami.
A
E
F
G
A
Time
that
correct
the
word
exact
yeah.
So
with
that
slight
amendment,
obviously
what
we
are
asked
to
do
is
to
agree
those
so
that
it
can
then
be
sent
all
over
the
other
decision,
such
and
papers
for
further
consideration
that
the
executives
to
be
brought
together
to
see.
If
we
then
there's
an
executive
want
to
send
it
to
full
council.
