Introduction 1.1 This report presents for approval the 2011/12 General Fund revenue and capital budgets along with the Council Tax for 2011/12. It also presents for information only the current budget projections for 2012/13 to 2014/15. 2. 2011/12 General Fund Budget 2.1 The budget for 2011/12, along with detailed projections for the following two financial years, was considered in detail by Cabinet on 14 February 2011 and then by Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 18 February 2011. The budget for 2011/12 is supported by a number of key documents including the Treasury Management Strategy and Prudential Indicators and the Asset Management Plan which have been revised for 2011/12 and were both considered by Cabinet and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee at the same time as the budget. 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 Following the CSR 2010 announcement the provisional finance settlement was announced on 13 December outlining provisional grant allocations for 2011/12 and 2012/13. The final announcement was subsequently made on 31 January 2011 which gave the final settlement figures for 2011/12 and provisional figures for 2012/13. The latter was subsequently updated on 7 February. The headline cash reduction in government grant for the Council in 2011/12 is £1,167,504 and represents a reduction of 14.2% in the year, with a further 11.8% (£833,835) reduction in 2012/13 based on the provisional figures issued on 7 February 2011. 2.4 2011/12 is the first year of the four year comprehensive spending review and therefore 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 14 February 2011, the final parish precept has 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 £1,450,222. This means the total District amount billed for an average Band D for 2011/12 will be £174.05, comprising District element £138.87 and parish element £35.18. 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. Full Council 3. 23 February 2011 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 2011/12. 3.2 A similar process to that followed in previous years has been adopted for producing the 2011/12 budget. The process is aimed at ensuring all risks are mitigated when approving the budget for the following year. 3.3 The framework within which the budget for 2011/12 is put together takes account of the following: a) b) c) d) e) Previous financial year out-turn position (2009/10) Financial Strategy 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 2010 as reported to Members provisionally in June and the final audited position in September 2010 provides certainty about the financial position of the Council. Both the Financial Strategy 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 Strategy - The Council has an established system of Financial Planning that begins each year with the preparation and production of the four year Financial Strategy, 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 strategy was produced in October/November 2010, there were a significant number of unknowns in terms of the severity of future government grant reductions for the next four years or the level of future council tax increases. By pulling together the financial forecasts, the Financial Strategy 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 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. Full Council 23 February 2011 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 Management 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 2011/12 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 £550,000 for 2011/12 and is based upon the Treasury Management Strategy’s view on interest rates as presented to Cabinet on 14 February 2011, for approval by Full Council. A reduction in the Council’s average investment rate of 0.25% potentially reduces future income streams by just under £36,000 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 2011/12 budget, these include: Car Park– The anticipated levels of gross car park income for 2011/12 are in excess of £1,853,690. This includes all car parking related income, i.e. pay and display, season tickets and excess parking charges; Planning Fee - Budgeted income from planning fees of £525,000; Building Control - Budgeted income from building control fees is £413,650 Land Charges - Budgeted income for land charges is £180,000 Full Council 23 February 2011 Waste and recycling – Achieving the budgeted level of income from waste and recycling credits of £898,960 will be dependant on the Council continuing to meet the recycling target of 47.5%. 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 £32.7 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 2011/12 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 14 February also outlined financial projections for the following three financial years to 2014/15. Based on the current level of service delivery assumed within the 2011/12 budget, additional resources from savings or additional income will need to be identified and achieved of £908,342 in 2012/13 increasing to £941,314 in 2013/14 and finally to over £1.6million in 2014/15. This takes account of the implications of the pay and grading review which is still a proposal at this stage. 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. The results of the procurement process undertaken during 2010 in relation to the waste, recycling, cleansing and grounds maintenance contract have been factored into the budget for 2011/12. 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 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 Full Council 23 February 2011 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 2011/12 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 following the elections in May 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: A contingency to cushion the impact of unexpected events or emergencies. A cushion against the impact of uneven cash flows and to avoid temporary borrowing. 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 2011/12 budget all reserves have been reviewed taking into account current and planned commitments against them. This has resulted in £829,477 being reallocated from a number of previously earmarked reserves to be allocated to the restructuring reserve (£129,477) and the general fund reserve (£700,000). The amounts allocated to the general reserve will be used over the next four years to cushion some of the impact of the severe grant cuts that the authority is faced with. 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 2011/12 and details the Council’s approach to reserves over the period 2011/12 to 2014/15 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 2011/12 the indicated level is £945,005 and represents 7.06% of the net budgeted operating expenditure. The actual balance forecast to be held at 31 March 2011 (after taking into account the planned use of the general reserve over the following three years) is £965,892 and represents 7.21% of the net budgeted operating expenditure. Therefore at the current time the balance in the general reserve is considered to be satisfactory. Full Council 23 February 2011 3.22 However the budget for 2011/12 requires savings of £558,268 and additional income/grant of £578,188 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 2011/12 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 2012 is currently £460,864, this is after allowing for the transfer in of the estimated surplus in 2011/12. However there will be further calls on this reserve during 2011/12 although this will be subject to business cases being approved and signed off by Corporate Management 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 2011/12, however this will be reviewed further during 2011/12. 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 2011/12 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 2011/12 budget will be closely monitored during the year. Regular reports will be made to the Corporate Management 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 2012/13 to 2014/15 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 2012/13 savings and/or additional income of £854,405 is required, increasing to £890,171 in 2013/14 and to £1,611,366 in 2014/15. 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 2011/12 has been set within a robust framework with an adequate level of financial reserves held by the Council. The review of reserves has enabled the Council to take advantage of one-off funding in 2011/12 and in future years enabling further savings to be delivered in a managed and Full Council 23 February 2011 planned way. Workstreams already identified that will deliver future savings will continue to be progressed over the next nine months in preparation of the 2012/13 budget. 3.29 Appendix A provides an updated general fund revenue budget summary for 2011/12. Appendix B shows the effect of this recommended budget on the District’s Council Tax for 2011/12. 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 2010/11 4.1 The following pages represent the information required for Members to set the Council Tax for the year commencing 1 April 2011. 4.2 Norfolk County Council is scheduled to meet on the 14 February 2011 to set its Council Tax. Norfolk Police Authority’s meeting for the same purpose is scheduled for the 15 February 2011. The County Council and the Police Authority are recommending freezing the council tax at the same levels as last year. The figures used in this report are based on the assumption that no increases will be approved, but if either the Police Authority or the County Council agree different figures, a replacement set of tables will need to be considered. 4.3 That it be NOTED that at its meeting on 14 December 2010, Full Council calculated the following Council Tax bases for the year 2011/12 in accordance with regulations made under Section 33(5) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992: a) 41,228 being calculated by the Council, in accordance with regulation 3 of the Local Authorities (Calculation of

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 2010/11, the Council will receive a council tax freeze grant of £143,000. This will not be payable if members decide to set a higher level of council tax, and the Council may also be at risk of council tax capping. 5.2 Equality and Diversity Implications - It is not considered that the budget presented for 2011/12 will have any significant impact on equality and diversity issues. The budget includes a number of service related savings which have been put forward by Service Managers and the Corporate Management Team. In preparing the budget the impact of these savings on the equalities agenda has been considered. In addition, the budget does assume rationalisation of management arrangements within two service areas which are under consultation and therefore any adverse impact arising from these changes on equality issues will be identified and mitigated through this process. 6. Recommendations It is recommended that having considered the Chief Financial Officer’s report on the robustness of the estimates and the adequacy of the proposed financial reserves, the following be approved: a) The General Fund Revenue Budget for 2011/12; b) The Policy Framework for the Earmarked Reserves and the Optimum Level of the General Reserve 2011/12 to 2014/15 (Appendix D); c) The level of the General Reserve maintained at a minimum of £950,000; d) The General and Earmarked Reserves are employed as shown in the Reserves Statement (Appendix C); e) That members undertake the council tax and statutory calculations set out at section 4, and set the Council Tax for 2011/12.
