Received a report from the Corporate Director of Resources recommending the appropriate level of fees and charges for 2008/09 for those traditional services where the Council has an obligation to set fee levels.
In addition to those traditional income services, the Council also has the power under the Local Government Act 2003 to charge for other discretionary services that it may already or may wish to provide for in the future.
By Minute 108 (22 January 2008), it was agreed that the overall inflation uplift for 2008/09 for fees and charges should be at least 2.5% and applied to all 2008/09 income base budgets, which had been reflected in the 2008/09 budget strategy, base budget position and savings proposals.
Agreed, as a matter of good financial practice, to the fees and charges for 2008/09 as set out in Appendix A to the report, to be effective from 1 April 2008.
