Town Park: Capital Budget Repayments

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Town Park Capital budget repayments.

Decision(s): The Minister approved a budget transfer of £250,000 from the Town Park Capital vote to the TTS Rolling Infrastructure Vote.

The Minister also approved a budget transfer of £250,000 from the Town Park Capital Vote to the Housing Rolling Vote, subject to approval from the Housing Minister.

Reason(s) for Decision: The Town Park project had originally been lent £250,000 from the TTS infrastructure vote and £250,000 from the Housing Rolling Vote to act as an additional contingency should the project encounter significant issues. The project is now complete and did not encounter any significant issues. Therefore the budget should be returned to the TTS infrastructure rolling vote and Housing Rolling Vote

Resource Implications: The Town Park Capital Head of Expenditure (Q00BP10017) will decrease by £500,000.

The TTS Infrastructure Rolling Vote Capital Head of Expenditure (Q00RL10011) will increase by £250,000.

The Housing Rolling Vote Capital Head of Expenditure (H00RL10007) will increase by £250,000.

Action required: The Finance Director to seek approval from the Minister for Treasury and Resources and then to action the budget transfers in conjunction with the Head of Financial Performance Reporting.
