111 Review of Council Wide Fees and Charges PDF 256 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise,
Community and Resources, on the review of the Council wide fees and charges.
The Board was advised that, as part of the budget preparations for 2019/20,
a review of fees and charges had been carried out. The
aim in setting fees and charges was to ensure that the Council fully recovered
the cost incurred in providing the service, although this was dependent on a
number of factors outside of the agreed charge. These were detailed in the
report and noted as including demand, which could change year on year and be
affected by the weather; regional factors or demographics; competition, where
there may be a strong competitive market; and a statutory element, where some
charges were outside the control of the Council and there was no discretion to
what could be charged.
Attached at Appendix A was a schedule of
statutory fees which may increase during the financial year. Chargeable rates
for The Brindley Theatre and the Registrar’s Service were attached at Appendix
B and C respectively.
RESOLVED: That the proposed
fees and charges for 2019/20 as set out in Appendix A
attached to the report and for 2020/21 as set out in Appendices B and C
attached to the report, be approved.
