Committee:     Fire & Public Safety Select Committee

 

Date:               19th AUGUST 2002

 

Title                 BUDGET MONITORING REPORT AS AT END OF JULY

 

REPORT OF THE STRATEGIC DIRECTOR FOR FINANCE & INFORMATION AND COUNTY TREASURER

 

 

 

SUMMARY / PURPOSE

 

This report sets out the budget and spending position on both revenue and capital for the services within this Committee’s remit, as at the end of July. The figures do not include budgets that are controlled elsewhere than the service concerned. These are monitored by the Committee which bears responsibility for the item concerned. (For example, Resources Select Committee monitors the building maintenance budget centrally, and building maintenance costs are not therefore shown against individual services below).

 

REVENUE EXPENDITURE

 

The expenditure and income to date against budget are shown at Appendix 1.

 

There are no significant variances or pressures to report at present.    However the comments contained in the Revenue Expenditure Table (Appx 1) should be noted.

 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

 

Expenditure against each scheme is shown at Appendix 2.
