Full Council received report ES/1502 by Councillor Cook, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Resources. He stated that on 22 February 2023, Full Council had approved a balanced budget and set the Band D rate of Council Tax for 2023/24. The report considered at that meeting had set out the 2023/24 Council Tax Resolutions (Appendix E) which was unanimously agreed by Full Council.
After the report had been approved by Full Council, an administrative error was identified in the Council Tax Resolutions, which showed the incorrect aggregate Council Tax amounts by Parish for each category of dwelling (Council Tax Banding). This information was presented in Appendix E2 of the Budget Report. The remainder of Appendix E was correct.
Councillor Cook stated that this report ES/1502, required approval of the amended Council Tax Resolutions for 2023/24, ahead of the publication of the statutory notice for the amounts of Council Tax for 2023/24. He confirmed that the correction required was presentational only.
As there were no questions, Councillor Cook moved the recommendation within the report and this was seconded by Councillor Gallant, who reserved his right to speak.
There being no debate, Councillor Gallant thanked those Councillors for their attendance at this meeting. He commented that mistakes do happen, however, this matter had been dealt with swiftly, once it had been identified.
N.B. Councillor Tom Daly arrived at this point in the proceedings. As he had not been in attendance when the report was presented, he took no part in the voting thereon.
The Vice Chairman invited Mr Bing, Monitoring Officer, to undertake the Recorded Vote for this item. The results of the Recorded Vote are shown below:
