Decision details

Spalding Special Expenses Drawdown

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To recommend that a drawdown of up to £10,000 be made from Spalding Special Expenses Reserve, to be used toward an event for Spalding residents to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III

Decision:

1)    That a drawdown for an amount of up to £10,000 from Spalding Special Expenses Reserves be agreed, to fund an event for the residents of Spalding to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III; and

 

2)    That an additional £1,000 contingency amount be agreed, to be made available if required.

Reasons for the decision:

To enable an event to be held to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III, as Spalding does not have its own Parish/Town Council.

Alternative options considered:

·       Do Nothing – a drawdown from Spalding Special Expenses reserves would not be made and an alternative funding source would need to be found to fund an event for the residents of Spalding;

·       A lesser amount be drawn down from Spalding Special Expenses reserves

 

Wards Affected: Spalding Castle; Spalding Monkshouse; Spalding St John's; Spalding St Mary's; Spalding St Paul's; Spalding Wygate;
