Councillor McCaig moved as a further amendment, seconded by Councillor Noble:-
That the Council -
(1) approve the revenue budget for 2013/14 as amended below, along with an indicative five-year budget;
(2) approve the five-year non-housing capital programme as amended below;
(3) approve recommendations (c) to (g) contained within the report;
(4) instruct the Director of Housing and Environment to submit a report to the next committee meeting on the administration of a welfare reform hardship fund of £500,000 in 2013/14 and 2014/15 with consideration of whether this can be enhanced by use of the £1million set aside to meet the costs of welfare reform;
(5) instruct the Director of Social Care and Wellbeing to submit a report to the next committee meeting on how best to utilise an additional £1million for care to address the problems currently being experienced in this sector. Proposals should consider both the Council hiring more carers and increasing the amount paid to care providers to help them hire and retain staff;
(6) instruct the Director of Housing and Environment to prepare a business plan for the delivery of 100 new one bedroom flats to be submitted to the North East Pension Fund as an investment proposal; and
(7) instruct the Director of Education, Culture and Sport to bring forward a report to the next committee meeting with proposals for a new replacement primary school.
