| CF08 - 08/09 | Council Tax 2009/10 The Chair had agreed that this item could
be dealt with as a matter of urgency. The reason the report was not
circulated with the agenda was that the County Council and the
Police Authority had not set their precepts until 24th and 20th
February respectively. The overall level of Council Tax needed to
be approved to comply with legal and good practice requirements on
billing.
The Committee received a report of the Director of Finance consolidating the decisions of this Council and the two precepting authorities to give the overall Council Tax for the residents of Watford for the coming Financial Year. RESOLVED:
that the Council Tax for Watford Borough Council, including the precepts for Hertfordshire County Council and the Hertfordshire Police Authority, be set as attached to the minutes in Appendix 1. The final precepts notified, and included in the table as shown in the Appendix, represent increases of: Watford Borough Council - £2.50, an increase of 1.00% Hertfordshire County Council - £37.71, an increase of 3.49% Hertfordshire Police Authority - £6.15, an increase of 4.50% |
