Minutes:

It was proposed by Councillor D Minnery and seconded by the Leader, Councillor P Nuttingthat the report of the Head of Finance, Governance and Assurance on the Annual Treasury Report 2017/18, a copy of which is attached to the signed minutes and the recommendations contained therein, be received and agreed.

 

Responding to concerns raised by some Members on the level of cash required and whether investing it would achieve a better financial return, the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Councillor D Minnery, explained that the level of cash needed varied throughout the year and statute constrained its use.  He continued that investing this money would also create difficulties with retrieval when required and limit flexibility to act.

 

RESOLVED: That the position as set out in the Annual Treasury report 2017/18 of the Head of Finance, Governance and Assurance be approved.
