Report by Finance Manager

The Committee considered a report setting out the estimated funding available for distribution for funds for the charities and trust funds in the Oban, Lorn and the Isles area for 2015-16.

The Committee confirmed they were not happy with this report and had a concern in regards to trust fund monies being allocated for use by Council departments.

Decision

The Committee:

1.    Agreed for this report to come back to the April Area Committee detailing reasons of why trust funds are being transferred to each service to be more specific in regards to the figures;

2.    Asked the Area Committee Manager to contact the Finance Department regarding the MacDougall Trust; and

3.    Agreed that if Members had any more concerns relating to this paper, to relay their concerns to the Area Committee Manager who will take them to the Finance Department.
