The Finance Committee was scheduled to consider budget setting principles and an update on income and savings. The meeting was also scheduled to address non-public questions and any other urgent business that the Chair deemed appropriate for discussion while the public was excluded.
Budget Setting Principles and Income and Savings Update
The committee was scheduled to consider a report from the Chamberlain regarding budget setting principles and an update on income and savings. This report was expected to inform decisions on the council's financial planning.
The agenda also indicated that the public would be excluded from certain parts of the meeting. This was to be done under Section 100(A) of the Local Government Act 1972, on the grounds that the discussions would likely involve the disclosure of exempt information.
The meeting was scheduled to take place at the Guildhall. Members of the public were able to observe the public parts of the meeting via a YouTube livestream provided by the City of London Corporation.^[1]
