Minutes:
Councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst moved the recommendation as set out in the report, seconded by Councillor Jonathon Solomons.
It was noted that Croxley Green Parish Council should have been referred to correctly in the report.
Councillor Tony Humphreys arrived at 20:52.
Key points on property growth and collection rate assumptions were discussed, detailing that the estimated collection rate is set at an unusually high 99%. However, historical data shows that the actual collection rate for the previous year was lower, raising concerns about the accuracy of the current estimate and urging for a more prudent approach.
It was clarified that this item has consistently been on the agenda for Full Council and followed the recommendations of the Director of Finance, therefore, there was no reason to alter this practice. The incorrect listing of Croxley Green Parish Council in the report was noted and the necessary amendment will be made.
On being put to the Council the motion was declared CARRIED by the Chair of Council, the voting being 25 For, 0 Against, 11 Abstention.
