Reports from Dorset Council Councillor and Police Liaison
1. To receive and accept apologies and declarations of interest.
2. To approve the draft minutes of the Parish Council meeting held on 27th September 2022 (A).
With respect to minute 10 a parishioner has suggested that the proposal for
£100 to be made available for village hall hire and publicity material to kick start a bulk household PV scheme was invalid as it was not specified in the meeting agenda. As it is not absolutely clear that budgetary provision had been made for this expenditure it is recommended that:
- The Council ratifies its decision to make £100 available for this purpose.
- In the Council budget, the expression “devolved services s137” be changed to “non grant expenditure s137” so that such an eventuality is avoided in future.
3. To discuss matters arising from the minutes not covered in this Agenda.
4. To note the statement of expenditure to date and bank reconciliation (B) and to approve the schedule of payments since the last meeting. (C)
5. To approve the 2023/24 budget and precept (D)
