Minutes:
Mr Thompson presented the Treasury Management Outturn Report for the year ended 31 March 2019. He reported that the position in respect of loans taken out by the Council continued to be monitored regularly. Whenever appropriate variable-rate loans had been converted into fixed rate loans to allow greater certainty in financial planning. He also informed the Committee that negotiations were ongoing to purchase loans as part of debt restructuring that would reduce costs to the Council.
The Committee queried what limit the Council had for levels of borrowing. Mr Thompson responded that it was the Council’s own responsibility to determine what level of risk it regarded as acceptable in terms of affordability and prudence and that current levels of borrowing were comparable with other authorities.
