Recycling Services - Financial Issues |
The joint report of the Director of Health and Housing and Director of Finance considered financial issues associated with the proposal to improve the Council's kerbside recycling collection services (Minute LEM 12/022 refers). Members were advised that to facilitate the collection of the additional materials the purchase of additional waste receptacles would be necessary at an estimated cost of £560,000. It was noted that the Council's annual capital allowance had been fully utilised for 2012/13 and consideration was given to a suggestion that the requisite capital plan provision should operate outside the 'normal' capital plan review process. This would involve an increase in the contribution to the revenue reserve for capital schemes which could be facilitated largely from the favourable outturn position for 2011/12. RECOMMENDED: That (1) the requisite capital plan provision sit outside the 'normal' capital plan review process; and (2) the contribution to the revenue reserve for capital schemes for 2012/13 be increased from £350,000 to in the order of £910,000. *Referred to Cabinet |
