The Cabinet is requested to consider the agenda report and make the following resolution as set out below:

That delegated authority is given to the Chief Executive to use the remaining government funding of £20k, if required, to mitigate against the potential impact of a No Deal Brexit.

RESOLVED

That delegated authority is given to the Chief Executive to use the remaining Government funding of £20,000 and any further funding that may be received, if required, to mitigate against the potential impact of a No Deal Brexit.

Mrs Shepherd introduced the item. She explained that the council is required to plan for a no deal Brexit. To date the Government has provided the council with £51,000 in order to make the relevant preparations. At the June 2019 Cabinet it was agreed to release £31,000 to pay for a fuel storage unit, leaving a remaining £20,000 unallocated. Delegation is sought to enable the release of the remaining funding and any additional funding in an efficient and timely manner.

Decision

The Cabinet then voted unanimously to make the resolution below.

RESOLVED

That delegated authority is given to the Chief Executive to use the remaining Government funding of £20,000 and any further funding that may be received, if required, to mitigate against the potential impact of a No Deal Brexit.
