The authority gets most of the final council tax bill, about two-thirds, with most homes giving it more than £1,000 each year.
It is looking to increase its council tax share by two per cent, about an extra £22 for an average home.
Today leader Councillor David Shakespeare (DS) will speak to the committee.
He will be followed by deputy leader Councillor Chapple (BC) and planning and waste and resources chiefs. Click the link at the bottom of this story for full agenda papers and figures.
Last week's questioning revealed the pothole budget could be cut in half (see links).
