Fees and Charges 2015/16

Joint Report of the Treasurer to the Joint Committee / Corporate Director: Resources and the Corporate Director of Neighbourhood Services.

Minutes:

The Head of Finance - Financial Services referred Members to Fees and Charges 2015/16 report (for copy see file of minutes).

 

Members recalled that last year it had been agreed by the Joint Committee to raise the adult cremation fee to be in line with the average charges levied by other facilities in the region.  It was explained that as improvement works were ongoing and that these included substantial works to the Chapel area during the summer months, it was proposed that the fees be held at a standstill position for 2015/16 while works were being carried out.  It was added that the fee for child cremations remained as a nil charge and also there would be no increase in respect of the fee for the Book of Remembrance.

 

Resolved:

 

(i)                  That the proposed fees and charges, which seek to maintain charges at existing levels, be approved and be effective from 1 April 2015.

(ii)                 That the approved fees and charges be incorporated into the 2015/16 Budget.
