E.37/21: Delivery of Electric Charging Points in

RESOLVED
1.
That a Collaboration Agreement be entered into with
the Devon and Torbay Residential Chargepoint Scheme for the installation of Electric
Vehicle Charging Points;
2.
That the potential site locations (as listed in
paragraph 1.3 of the published agenda report) be approved for the

E.39/21: Medium Term Financial Strategy 2022/23 to
2024/25
RESOLVED
That Council:
1.
sets the strategic intention to raise Council Tax by
the maximum allowed in any given year, without triggering a Council
Tax Referendum, to endeavour to continue to deliver
services. (NB. the actual Council Tax
for any given year will be decided by the Council in the preceding
February);
2.
adopts the principle of using funding in the Business Rates Retention
Reserve to smooth out the anticipated volatility in Business Rates
income over the next three years (as set out in section 3.19 of the
published agenda report). The
volatility is due to the business rates baseline reset anticipated in
2023/24 (this will result in the Council having a negative Revenue
Support Grant) and the predicted loss of Business Rates pooling
gain at the same time. It is
recommended that funding held in the Business Rates Retention
Reserve is retained for the purpose of smoothing out the business
rates volatility / negative revenue support grant and should not be
used for unrelated purposes, other than commitments already made or
as part of one-off funding for the Corporate Strategy, for at least
the next three years;
3.
continues to respond
to Government consultations on Business Rates Reform;
4.
continues to actively
lobby and engage with the Government, Devon MPs, South West
Councils and other sector bodies such as the District
Councils’ Network and the Rural Services Network, for a
realistic business rates baseline to be set for the Council for
2023 onwards, when the business rates reset happens;
5.
continues to lobby in
support of the Government eliminating Negative Revenue Support
Grant in 2022/23 (and thereafter) and continue to lobby for Rural
Services Delivery Grant allocations which adequately reflect the
cost of rural service provision; and
6.
notes the forecast
budget gap for 2022/23 of £79,587 (0.8% of the current Net
Budget of £9.68 million) and the position for future years be
noted.
