Adopted 2013 Budget (PDF-4657 kb) - Mayo County Council

The "Own Resources" provision for 2013 is €3,000,000 which is a reduction on the
2012 provision. The Councillors Notice of Motion allocation will also be reduced by
14% i.e .to €25,800. The Own Resources allocation is less than the level in 2002,
when the Notice of Motion allocation was £19,050 per Councillor.
2012 was the second year that the Council had to deal with the provisions of the
Department of Transport "Memorandum on Road Grants" This meant that €600,000
had to be set aside from the "Own Resources" allocation to cover the "ineligible"
expenditure which were no longer recoupable from grants. This sum will also have to
be provided in 2013 which will mean that less funding will be available for Local
Road Maintenance. The Memorandum also affected the operation and viability of the
Machinery Yard. Further down sizing of the Machinery Yard together with outsourcing
and increased efficiencies will be necessary to ensure the survival of the
facility.
