Minutes:
Councillor M Radulovic MBE offered his sincerest thanks to all Councillors and Officers who assisted in preparing the budget.
The following amendment was
proposed by Councillor R I Jackson and seconded by Councillor M J
Crow:
Establish a cross party staff vacancy member reference panel to deliver a saving of £180,000 from current new and long-term vacant posts noting that the current new and senior vacant posts total £448,208 including on costs.
The debate on the amendment focussed on the performance of the previous administration, that the proposal would not mean redundancies, and would balance the books without a Council Tax rise, against the pressure that was put on Officers by vacant posts being deleted.
On being put to the meeting the motion fell. The vote was recorded and the voting was as follows:
