SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        9 JUNE 2020


Finance
The background information to the Mayoral Minute outlined that costs associated with meeting
facilitation and other staff resourcing would need to be considered in a future budget review. This
would also apply should the trial be considered for the 2021/22 financial year through a future
2020/21 budget review.

Risks & Opportunities
Risks
1.    Failure to recommence the trial for the 2021/22 budget process may result in reputational
      risk for Council being realised particularly regarding transparency and accountability to the
      community.
2.    Currently governments are still challenged regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in particular
      risks regarding second waves of infections in the community. These challenges will need to
      be considered in the context of the ability to commence the pilot project for the 2021/22
      budget process, and communicated accordingly if they are realised.

Opportunities
1.  The budget consultation process provides an opportunity for Council to further engage with
    its community to ensure that decisions made regarding levels of service and the allocation
    of resources aligns with the expectations of the community it represents.
