Decision:
Cabinet noted the treasury management performance for the second six months of 2019/20 and has recommended the report to Council for consideration.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report by the Chief Finance Officer (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) summarising the Council’s treasury management activity over the second half of the 2019/20 financial year which included investment and borrowing activity and treasury performance.
The Executive Councillor for Finance and Resources reported that investments had generated £3.6m of income for the Council in 2019/20 which represented a rate of return of 6.5% which was welcomed by the Cabinet. The Chief Finance Officer then went on to report that owing to the COVID-19 pandemic there had been a reduction in the valuation of properties and expressed her view that this would be a temporary issue over the next 6-12 months as the market recovered.
In response to a question raised by a Member, it was confirmed that the valuation of the properties had been undertaken by a third party as at 31 March 2020. Whereupon, it was
RESOLVED
(a) that the treasury management performance for the second six months of 2019/20 be noted; and
(b) that the Council be recommended to consider the content of the report.
