Report by Executive Director with responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Board gave consideration to a report which allowed them to review the current version of the 10 year asset management plan and consider increases in fees and charges for the financial year 2021/22 in order to meet borrowing requirements for the plan.

 

Decision

 

The Argyll and Bute Harbour Board;

 

1.    recommended to Council that when setting fees and charges for 2021/22 it approves an increase to piers and harbours fees and charges, over and above any inflationary increase, of 5% to generate sufficient income to develop the Council’s marine infrastructure;

 

2.    noted that the increase will be in-step with the motion passed at the Harbour Board meeting in January 2018 that agreed to set charges that meet both the asset sustainability costs and future improvement costs associated with the piers and harbours which the Council has a responsibility for; and

 

3.    agreed that the asset management plan will continue to be updated on a 10 year rolling basis.
