I am sure that you will understand (with your level of education) that there is a difference between not increasing the contribution to reserves and withdrawing money from the reserves.
From what g jones (Labour group leader) has been saying here it sounds like its directly from the reserves, he never said anything about taking it from not increasing reserves.

Here's a direct extract from the council meeting:
