Decision details

To support completion of the County Council budget for the financial year 2019/20 there needs to be agreement of the extent to which discretionary fees and charges are increased.  As a rule, the fees and charges will be increased by the Retail Price Index, as at September 2018, 3.3%.  This is in line with the County Council’s policy to budget for cost inflation.  All changes will be implemented from 1 April 2019, unless otherwise stated.

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources has approved that;

1)   the discretionary fees and charges as set out at Appendix A take effect from 1 April 2019 or as otherwise stated within this report; and

2)   the Directors, in consultation with the Director of Finance, Performance and Procurement and the relevant Cabinet Member/s, be granted delegated authority to vary fees and charges in-year within their respective portfolios in support of achieving their income budgets, taking account of changes in service costs, the market environment, demand and/or service levels and any statutory constraints, except where other specific decision-making arrangements have been formally adopted (for example, on-street car parking).
