Minutes:
Members considered the submitted report on proposals for up-rating the current Council Tax Support Scheme for 2014/15. It was noted that the report was submitted in response to the Department of Communities and Local Government’s advice that if the Council did not agree its own local scheme for 2014/15 then its scheme for 2013/14 would continue. A revised officer recommendation was tabled at the meeting.
It was proposed by the Mayor and seconded by Councillor Excell:
(i) that the Torbay Council Tax Reduction Scheme 2014/15, as set out in appendix 4 to the submitted report be approved;
(ii) that the applicable amounts and non dependant deductions in the 2013/14 scheme be up-rated in order to calculate Council Tax Support from 1 April 2014, and
(iii) that authority be delegated to the Executive Head of Finance, in consultation with the Executive Lead Member for Finance, to make any further adjustments required to the 2014/15 Council Tax Support scheme, the Exceptional Hardship Policy and Fund and the Vulnerable policy.
On being put to the vote, the motion was declared carried.
