CUMBRIA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AGREEMENT To consider a report from the Executive Director – Corporate, Customer and Community Services (copy enclosed).
Additional documents:
Minutes: Members considered a report from the Director Finance (Section 151 Officer) which updated members on the income and expenditure of the Holehird Estate to date, and identified the amount available for grants and fees for the 2019-20 financial year.
Discussion took place regarding the income and expenditure accounts for the eight months ended 30 November 2019 and it was acknowledged that the accounts were in a healthy condition. Members were reminded that in the meeting held on 6th March 2017 the amount made available for distribution on grants for each year of the current agreement with Cumbria Community Foundation was set at £ 40,000 with fees of £ 4,000 (10% of grants awarded). In 2018-19 the amount distributed on grants was £ 40,000. As there were no unallocated amounts for the 2018-19 financial year no adjustment to the amounts available for 2019-20 need be made. To date £ 20,705 had been distributed on grants leaving a further £ 19,295 available to be distributed during the 2019-20 financial year. During the audit of the 2017-18 accounts it was suggested that, due to capital and revenue expenditure not being accounted for separately that there is no further need for a Capital Reserve. An in depth discussion took place over why it was no longer thought appropriate to keep a separate Capital Reserve. Whenever expenditure is incurred by the Trust on what would be accounted for as capital expenditure in commercial entities, an amount equal to the cost is transferred from the Capital Reserve to the Unrestricted Reserve. However, as capital and revenue expenditure are not accounted for separately by the Trust the cost of the capital ultimately comes from the Unrestricted Reserve. It was clarified that overall there would be no impact on the Trust’s reserves if the transfer was to take place. RESOLVED that, 1) members note the amounts available for distribution on grants and fees for 2019-20 financial year.
2) members approve the transfer of the balance of the Trust’s Capital Reserve to the Unrestricted Reserve. |
