Outturn Surplus and Re-allocation of Funds

Councillor Greenslade to move:

 

‘(1) that the County Council notes that earmarked reserves at outturn for 2016/17, excluding carry forwards, increased in year by £15,299 m with no spending being made against the reserves for budget management, business rates risk, emergency, and on street parking in 2016/17.

 

Accordingly County Council agrees to compensate all school budgets, which had suffered a £33 per pupil cut in 2017/18, by the equivalent of the loss in their budgets consequent upon this decision taken in setting the County Council’s budget for 2017/18.

 

The cost of this action, approx £2.2m, be met from the earmarked reserve for budget management.

 

(2) that the County Council organises a round table at which representatives of the Devon schools community debate with all the MP’s representing new Devon the issue of future school funding including a revised schools funding formula.’
