MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor D. Looney

Mayors Business

That this Council notes with grave concern the lack of clarity with regard to funding streams and levels of funding available to local authorities in the wake of the introduction of the Local Property Tax; that this Council calls on the Government to immediately clarify all issues with regard to funding streams and levels ahead of Budget 2014; and that this Council calls on Government to ensure that the funding available to this local authority through the LPT, motor tax or other channels is significantly in excess of the previous arrangement under the Local Government Fund.

REPORT:

Should the motion be agreed by the Members correspondence will issue to the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government outlining the sentiments of the motion.
