Introduction
1.1
This report presents for approval the 2012/13 General Fund revenue and capital budgets
along with the Council Tax for 2012/13. It also presents for information only the current
budget projections for 2013/14 to 2015/16.
2.
2012/13 General Fund Budget
2.1
The budget for 2012/13, along with detailed projections for the following three financial
years, was considered in detail by Cabinet on 6 February 2012 and then by Overview
and Scrutiny Committee on 15 February 2012.
2.2
The Comprehensive Spending Review 2010 (CSR 2010) covering the period 2011/12 to
2014/15 was announced in October 2010. In relation to Local Government the statement
provided some headline announcements including the following:
• Reform of the planning system and introduction of a New Homes Bonus;
• Reduction in the size of the Department for Communities and Local Government
budget by 33 per cent in real terms by 2014/15;
• Funding to enable Local Authorities to freeze their Council Tax in 2011/12.
2.3
Confirmation of the Councils final allocation for 2012/13 was issued on 2 December
2011, this confirmed the amounts that had been provisionally announced back in
January 2011.The headline cash reduction in government grant for the Council for
2012/13 was originally estimated to be £833,835, which equated to a further reduction of
11.8%. However, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced in early October that a
further grant would be offered to those Authorities which freeze the Council Tax for
2012/13 at 2011/12 levels, but this grant was to be a ‘one-off grant’. This means the
grant will not be paid in future years and therefore it effectively becomes a further cut in
2013/14. Taking account of this £145,000 freeze grant the actual reduction in 2012/13 is
£688,835, representing a 10% reduction in cash terms. The reduction for 2013/14 is
£467,471 representing a further reduction of 7%.
2.4
2012/13 is the second year of the four year comprehensive spending review and
projections have been made covering the three subsequent years. These figures are
shown within the updated General Fund Summary at Appendix A.
2.5
In addition since reporting the budget to Cabinet the Council has received notification of
the Internal Drainage Board (IDB) Levies for the forthcoming year. This has resulted in a
small amendment to the figures previously reported and have been updated in Appendix
A.
2.6
Since producing the budget report as reported to Cabinet on 6 February 2012, the final
parish precepts have now been confirmed, the final figures are included in the Council
Tax Summary at Appendix B which shows the total value of parish and town council
precepts as £1,538,934. This means the total District amount billed for an average Band
D for 2012/13 will be £176.07, comprising District element £138.87 and parish element
£37.20.
Full Council
22 February 2012
2.7
In making decisions in relation to setting the Council Tax, section 25 of the Local
Government Act 2003 requires the Chief Financial Officer of the Council to report to it on
the robustness of the estimates and the adequacy of the proposed financial reserves.
This is presented in the section 3 of this report.
3.
Chief Financial Officer’s Report
Robustness of the Estimates
3.1
This part of the report comments on the robustness of the estimates now presented and
provides an analysis of the risks facing the Council of not being able to control
expenditure or influence the amount of income received as included in the budget being
recommended for 2012/13.
3.2
A similar process to that followed in previous years has been adopted for producing the
2012/13 budget. The process is aimed at ensuring all risks are mitigated when approving
the budget for the following year.
The framework within which the budget for 2012/13 is put together takes account of the
following:
3.3
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Previous financial year out-turn position (2010/11)
Financial Plan Update 2011/12 to 2014/15
Regular budget monitoring and associated reports
Current year revised budgets
Cash flow monitoring
a)
Previous Year Out-turn Position – The out-turn position at the 31 March 2011 as
reported to Members provisionally in June and the final audited position in September
2011 provides certainty about the financial position of the Council. Both the Financial
Plan Update produced in the year and the estimates for the following financial year take
into account the actual final position for the previous financial year, reflecting any
significant movements which will have an ongoing impact to the overall finances of the
Council.
b)
Financial Plan Update - The Council has an established system of Financial Planning
that begins each year with the preparation and production of the four year Financial
Plan, including a financial forecast for the same period. During August to November
each year the Council critically examines the proposed expenditure and income on
existing services and seeks to identify changed priorities in service delivery and planned
future developments in response to both local and national pressures. It also identifies
changes to spending plans and income projections. These are informed by the previous
years out-turn position and the current year’s budget monitoring projections. The
financial forecast does aim to highlight the more significant budget movements as a
precursor to producing the full detailed budget for the forthcoming year. At the same time
the anticipated level of future external Government funding is reviewed along with
estimated increases in Council Tax for the same period. When the financial plan was
produced in October 2011, there were a significant number of unknowns in terms of the
severity of future government grant reductions for future years and also the impact of a
number of new initiatives from central government such as the localisation of business
rates and council tax benefit which are due to be implemented in 2013/14. By pulling
together the financial forecasts, the Financial Plan seeks to identify future estimated
budget requirements and financing shortfalls at an early stage of the annual budget
process.
c)
Regular Budget Monitoring – The regular budget monitoring process is carried out
throughout the year with all expenditure and income being monitored on a monthly
Full Council
22 February 2012
basis. Not only does it provide an essential tool for ensuring that the current years
budget is achievable, but it is also fundamental in ensuring that the most up to date
information is incorporated into the future budget and projections taking into account
where budget pressures are highlighted during the year. The regular budget monitoring
is used to inform the annual financial planning and budget process of changes that will
have an ongoing financial impact in future years, as opposed to having only a one-off
implication in the current financial year.
As part of the budget monitoring process, monthly variance reports are provided to
budget managers and regular reports presented to Cabinet and Overview and Scrutiny
Committee. Regular reviews of expenditure and commitments to date, along with income
streams, are carried out to ensure that overspends or shortfalls in income are identified
at the earliest opportunity and reported to Corporate Leadership Team and Members
along with recommended action plans where appropriate to ensure that the Councils
overall budget can be met.
d)
Current Year Revised Budgets – The revised budget for the current year is approved in
December each year and is informed by the budget monitoring reports throughout the
year. It incorporates a detailed review of the current budget whilst highlighting future
spending pressures and income streams.
e)
Cash Flow Monitoring – Throughout the four year period the Council has no cash flow
issues given the level of its investments and no long term borrowing. Sufficient liquidity is
maintained to cover day to day cash requirements with only limited (if at all) short term
borrowing for daily cash flow purposes. The Council’s cash flow position is monitored on
a daily basis and managed within the Council’s Treasury Management Strategy which is
approved alongside the budget each year.
3.4
Some aspects of the Council’s future spend can be forecast with a reasonable amount of
certainty. Other budgets are prepared on the best information available at the time for
which the Council has no control over. For example, for employee related expenditure,
NNDC is part of a national agreement therefore employee pay increases are set after
the budget is approved. There are also other budgets that are less certain, particularly
where the service is demand-led. As in previous years, the Council’s budget relies on a
number of major income streams, but economic, social and sometimes environmental
factors outside of the control of the Council can significantly influence the levels of
income actually achieved. This has been particularly evident over the past few years as
the economic downturn continues to have a significant reduction in the level of
investment income anticipated in 2012/13 and future years compared to previous years.
There has also been an impact in a number of demand-led property related budgets for
example planning and land charges income for which the actual levels of income
generation are dependant upon market conditions. Should these income streams fall
short of anticipated levels, then the Council requires sufficient reserves to mitigate
losses in current and future years, particularly where the impact may be over the
medium-term.
3.5
Income from the Council’s investments is assumed to be £269,900 for 2012/13 and is
based upon the Treasury Management Strategy’s view on interest rates as presented to
Cabinet on 6 February 2012, for approval by Full Council. A reduction in the Council’s
average investment rate of 0.25% potentially reduces future income streams by
approximately £60,000 per annum.
3.6
In addition to investment income there are a number of other income streams that have
been highlighted as posing significant potential risks for the 2012/13 budget, these
include:
Full Council
22 February 2012
ƒ
Car Parking – The anticipated levels of gross car park income for 2012/13 are in
excess of £1,921,175. This includes all car parking related income, i.e. pay and
display, season tickets and excess parking charges;
ƒ
Planning Fee - Budgeted income from planning fees of £525,000;
ƒ
Building Control - Budgeted income from building control fees is £413,650
ƒ
Land Charges - Budgeted income for land charges is £198,000
ƒ
Waste and recycling – Budgeted income from waste and recycling credits of
£890,818
3.7
Income from the demand led services of car parking and property related areas, i.e.
planning, land charges and building control fees will continue to be closely monitored
throughout the year to ensure that where shortfalls are projected, appropriate actions
can be taken to ensure the budget remains achievable.
3.8
The budget also includes benefit payments of approximately £34.4 million in respect of
payments of rent allowances and council tax benefits. It is assumed that these will be
100% recoverable through subsidy; however, this is closely linked to performance, and
again requires close monitoring and an integrated approach to financial and
performance management.
3.9
The 2012/13 budget presented for approval does make use of one-off funding from
reserves of £200,000 to help cushion the impact of the grant cuts faced by the authority
in the year. Use of reserves in this way represents one-off funding and once used the
reserves are not available for use in future years, or to earn investment income.
3.10
The budget report to Cabinet on 6 February also outlined financial projections for the
following three financial years to 2015/16. Based on the current level of service delivery
assumed within the 2012/13 budget, additional resources from savings or additional
income will need to be identified and achieved of £266,508 in 2013/14 increasing to
£1,072,432 in 2014/15 and finally to £1,232,022 in 2015/16.
3.11
The funding for the future capital programme is reliant on new capital receipts from
preserved right to buy disposals and the VAT shelter arrangements for the housing
capital programme and other non housing capital receipts from general fund asset
disposals for other capital schemes. Prudent estimates have been made and the level
and timing of these is monitored as part of the budget monitoring process.
3.12
The ongoing budget monitoring process throughout the year is critical to ensuring the
robustness of the estimates. It is through our ability to manage and control the spending
within the approved budgets and where appropriate identifying and recommending
appropriate actions, which mitigates the Council’s level of financial risk.
3.13
In preparing the budgets detailed information is used to support the figures. The
estimates make prudent assumptions about inflation and activity levels on contracts,
other fees and charges and future levels of income. Throughout the process of preparing
the Council’s budget there is involvement of the Elected Members through
Officer/Member meetings and reports to Cabinet and Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
3.14
The Council also takes advice from third party organisations concerning a number of
more technical factors that impact on the budget process, for example external advice in
relation to treasury management, VAT and Insurance. In this way, trends in interest
Full Council
22 February 2012
rates, inflation and employment can be monitored and actions taken to mitigate the level
of financial risk faced by the Council.
3.15
The external pressures on public finance have created an environment of budget
reductions. In response to this the Council must deliver cashable savings or identify
additional income sources. This is a very challenging agenda and there are some risks
that the level of savings or additional income may not be achieved or delivered within the
timescales anticipated within the budget. The level of risk is considered as part of the
commentary on reserves.
Commentary on the Planned Use of the General and Earmarked Reserves
3.16
The uncertainty of future grant cuts has had a significant impact on the Council’s overall
financial position. The 2012/13 budget assumes a one off use of the general reserve of
£200,000 and has been necessary in the year to ensure that a balanced budget position
can be achieved. In terms of the medium to long term financial forecast for the Authority
further work will need to be carried out at an early stage to ensure that a sustainable
budget position can be supported for future years.
Adequacy of Reserves
3.17
Reserves are normally held for three main purposes:
ƒ
A contingency to cushion the impact of unexpected events or emergencies.
ƒ
A cushion against the impact of uneven cash flows and to avoid temporary
borrowing.
ƒ
As a means of building up funds to meet known or predicted liabilities (earmarked
reserves).
3.18
An updated Reserve Statement for the Council is included at Appendix C. In setting the
2012/13 budget all reserves have been reviewed taking into account current and
planned commitments against them.
3.19
The adequacy of the unallocated general reserve of the Council has been reviewed in
the light of planned service delivery costs contained within the budget and also
considers the level of financial risks that the Council is likely to face. The policy
framework for assessing the level of general and earmarked reserves has been
reviewed alongside setting the budget for 2012/13 and details the Council’s approach to
reserves over the period 2012/13 to 2015/16 is included at Appendix D.
3.20
A number of income streams were highlighted above at 3.5 and 3.6 as being potential
risk areas should income levels not be achieved as planned. There is also a risk that
budgets are overspent, although this is mitigated somewhat by the regular budget
monitoring reports and budgetary control procedures that ensure budget ownership and
accountability by Managers. The Councils policy on general and earmarked reserves
does take into account a number of risk items for example shortfall in demand led
services, underachievement of planned savings and sensitivity of inflationary increases
above the level assumed within the budget.
3.21
The assessment of the General Fund Reserve included in Appendix D provides a
detailed analysis of the individual items that have been taken into account when
recommending the minimum balance to be held by the Council in the general reserve.
For 2012/13 the indicated level is £899,700 and represents 8.06% of the net budgeted
operating expenditure, although this requirement increases to around £950,000 in future
Full Council
22 February 2012
years. The actual balance forecast to be held at 31 March 2013 (after taking into account
the planned use of the general reserve over the following three years) is £1,028,947 and
represents 9.22% of the net budgeted operating expenditure. Therefore at the current
time the balance in the general reserve is considered to be satisfactory.
3.22
However the budget for 2012/13 requires savings of £581,258 and additional
income/grant of £315,838, totaling £897,096, to be delivered in the year with further
savings required in future years in order to produce a balanced position that does not
rely on the use of general or earmarked reserves to fund ongoing expenditure.
3.23
The Council holds an earmarked reserve for restructuring proposals to fund initial one-off
costs of organisational restructures. Further work on a number of the savings proposals
put forward as part of approving the 2012/13 budget will require some one-off costs to
be funded from this reserve and are yet to be quantified. The forecast balance at 1 April
2013 is currently £198,749, this is after allowing for the transfer in of the estimated
surplus in 2012/13. However there will be further calls on this reserve during 2012/13
although this will be subject to business cases being approved and signed off by
Corporate Leadership Team, the Leader and the Portfolio Holder with responsibility for
Organisational Development.
3.24
The Council continues to hold an earmarked reserve of £435,000 in respect of Large
Scale Voluntary Transfer (LSVT). Following the housing stock transfer in 2006 the
Council gave a number of warranties and indemnities to the Housing Trust and its
lender, for example risks associated with the level of arrears, pension scheme,
disclosures relating to property including environmental issues. The potential financial
impact of any claim against the Council has in some of these cases been reduced by
bonds and insurance. However, claims could still be made against the Council that
would not be covered by these measures of mitigation. No amendment to this
earmarked reserve has therefore been recommended for 2012/13, however this will be
reviewed further as part of the financial planning process for future years.
3.25
The reserves policy framework as attached at Appendix D is set out for both the
earmarked reserves and the general reserve and concludes with the Chief Financial
Officer’s opinion of the adequacy and appropriateness of the proposed reserves.
Summary of Chief Financial Officer’s Report
3.26
Achievement of the 2012/13 budget is subject to the successful delivery of a number of
savings along with additional income and grants across various service headings.
Delivery of the savings and income within the timescales assumed in the 2012/13
budget will be closely monitored during the year. Regular reports will be made to the
Corporate Leadership Team, Cabinet and Overview and Scrutiny to monitor progress
and where applicable recommend action plans to be implemented to ensure the budget
remains achievable. Some risk still does remain that savings and additional income are
not delivered either within the timeframe or to the level assumed. This risk is reflected in
the policy framework for the reserves as detailed at Appendix D. If there is an unplanned
use of the General Reserve in the year the Financial Strategy will need to be updated to
reflect a revised strategy which re-establishes the recommended level of General
Reserve.
3.27
In support of the medium term financial plan projections for the three financial years
2013/14 to 2015/16 are also presented for information. This assumes the current level of
service, predictions of future expenditure and income based on information currently
available, along with forecast government grant allocations. In order to produce a
balanced budget for 2013/14 savings and/or additional income of £266,508 is required,
increasing to £1,072,432 in 2014/15 and to £1,232,022 in 2015/16.
Full Council
22 February 2012
3.28
Taking all of the above factors into consideration, it is my considered opinion as the
Council’s Chief Financial Officer, that the budget for 2012/13 has been set within a
robust framework with an adequate level of financial reserves held by the Council.
Workstreams already identified that will deliver future savings will continue to be
progressed over the next nine months in preparation of the 2013/14 budget.
3.29
Appendix A provides an updated general fund revenue budget summary for 2012/13.
Appendix B shows the effect of this recommended budget on the District’s Council Tax
for 2012/13. Appendix E shows the full information regarding the individual Parish and
Town Council areas together with a summary of the County, Police and Parish/Town
Councils elements.
4.
COUNCIL TAX SETTING FOR 2012/13
4.1
The following pages represent the information required for Members to set the Council
Tax for the year commencing 1 April 2012.
4.2
Norfolk County Council is scheduled to meet on the 13 February 2012 to set its Council
Tax. Norfolk Police Authority’s meeting for the same purpose is scheduled for the 21
February 2012. The County Council is recommending freezing the council tax at the
same level as last year, and the Police Authority is considering 3 options - no increase, a
3.0% increase and a 3.75% increase. The figures used in this report are based on the
assumption that there will be no increase for North Norfolk District Council (excluding
town and parish council precepts) and Norfolk County Council, and a 3.0% increase for
Norfolk Police Authority, which is considered the most likely option. If the Police
Authority agrees a different figure, replacement tables will be made available at the
meeting for consideration.
4.3
The Localism Act 2011 makes provision for council tax referendums to be held if an
authority increases its basic amount of council tax in excess of principles determined by
the Secretary of State. These excessiveness principles are set each year and the
Secretary of State has proposed that for 2012/13 a referendum will be triggered if North
Norfolk District Council or Norfolk County Council set a council tax increase which
exceeds 3.5% compared to 2011/12, or a 4.0% increase in the case of the Police
Authority. Town and parish councils and their precepts are excluded from the
excessiveness calculations for 2012/13.
4.4
Local precepting authorities are not subject to council tax referendums in 2012/13 (but
could be in future years depending on the excessiveness principles which may apply in
those years).
4.5
That it be NOTED that at its meeting on 14 December 2011, Full Council calculated the
following Council Tax bases for the year 2012/13 in accordance with regulations made
under Section 33(5) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992: a) 41,366 being calculated by the Council, in accordance with Regulation 3 of the Local
Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) Regulations 1992, as its Council Tax
base for the year;

4.9
Excessiveness Determination
4.9.1
The Council’s basic amount of council tax as calculated in paragraph 4.6 (f) above is the
same as that calculated for 2011/12, and therefore within the 3.5% increase limit above
which a referendum would be required.
4.9.2
Accordingly, it be DETERMINED that the Council’s basic amount of Council Tax is not
excessive for 2012/13 in accordance with the principles approved under Section 52ZB of
the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
5.
Implications and Risks to the Council
5.1
Financial implications - The Council is required to set the Council Tax each year in
accordance with the legislation set out above in this report. If this is not done, there is a
risk that the council will be unable to bill in a timely manner with a consequential loss of
revenue, and this may prevent the prudent management of the Council’s financial affairs.
By maintaining the council tax at the same level as 2011/12, the Council will receive a
council tax freeze grant of £145,000. This will not be payable if members decide to set a
higher level of council tax. The Council will be required to hold a referendum if it decides
to increase its council tax by more than 3.5%.
Full Council
5.2
22 February 2012
Equality and diversity implications - The Council is legally required to consider the
equality duty in its decision-making and this includes the budget process. As part of any
savings or investments the Council must consider how it can:
1.
2.
3.
Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation;
Advance equality of opportunity between different groups; and
Foster good relations between different groups by tackling prejudice and
promoting understanding.
5.3
As part of the 2012/13 budget process papers were issued during August and senior
managers were asked to explore service savings and options for additional income. Part
of the pack of information received by managers included a ‘Budget Equality Form’
which provided the framework to undertake an Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA),
which managers were required to complete. This form requested details of the bid, and
whether it had any affect on a number of protected groups, and where any negative
affect was identified, how this could be minimised or removed.
5.4
The completed forms can be found on the Council’s website on the Finance page under
the
section
which
covers
the
Council
Budget
(http://www.northnorfolk.org/council/9208.asp). A cumulative assessment has been
undertaken in relation to the equality forms and the savings proposals and no negative
impact has been highlighted as a result of this exercise.
6.

section 4, and set the Council Tax for 2012/13;
g)
The final demand on the Collection Fund will be;
(i)
£5,789,171 for District purposes;
(ii)
£1,538,934 for Parish/Town precepts
