Decision details

A report was received to provide the Q1 position for the revenue and capital programmes of the Sheffield City Region Mayoral Combined Authority for the financial year 2019/20.

Members were asked to consider the following virements between budget heads within the MCA/LEP revenue budget:

•      Transfer £218k from Business Support to Staffing to reflect the fact that the 6 members of the SCR Finance Team became employees of the SCR with effect from 1 July 2019 (previously they were employees of SCC and therefore charged as Business Support).

•      Transfer £24k from Premises to Staffing to cover the proportion of the Building Manager’s salary costs chargeable to the MCA/LEP budget.

RESOLVED, that the MCA:

1.    Notes the forecast underspend of c. £204k on the MCA/LEP Revenue Budget.

2.    Notes the forecast spend on the MCA/LEP Revenue Programmes is to budget.

3.    Notes the forecast overspend of c. £615k on the South Yorkshire Transport Revenue Budget.
