Director of Resources

1. SUMMARY

1.1 This report brings together the revised revenue budgets for 2005/06 and draft revenue estimates for 2006/07.

1.2 The budget sheets are collated in line with the Cabinet Member portfolio responsibilities. In addition, the revised budget for 2005/06 and the draft estimates for 2006/07 have been prepared, as was the case last year, in accordance with the requirements of the Best Value Accounting Code of Practice (except in relation to Pension costs adjustments that do not impact either on the Budget Requirement or the Council Tax requirement).

2. THE BEST VALUE ACCOUNTING CODE OF PRACTICE

2.1 The Best Value Accounting Code of Practice is an authoritative guide to financial accounting for local authorities within the best value environment. The consistent and comparable calculation of the total cost of services provided by a local authority is core to best value. The Code applies to all best value reporting requirements for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2000. 2.2 Total cost exists in both gross and net terms. No categories of income are considered to be abatements of expenditure and movements to and from reserves must be excluded from total cost definitions:

(a) Gross total cost includes all expenditure relating to the service/activity, including employee costs, premises and transport, supplies and services, third party payments, an appropriate share of support services and overheads and capital charges (depreciation and notional interest elements).

(b) Net total cost is defined as gross total cost (as above) less income (from fees and charges and all specific and supplementary grants i.e. all grants except from re-distributed business rates and the formula grants).

2.3 The attached budget pages have been presented in the Best Value format showing the total cost of each service or activity. They have been collated in line with Cabinet Members Portfolio responsibilities.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

3. 2005/06 REVISED BUDGET

3.1 The revised estimate of General Fund requirements totals £13,494,520, an increase of £62,860 on the approved original budget of £13,431,660. The variance is analysed below:

£ £ Original Budget 13,431,660 Add: Carry forward from 2004/05 via reserves as agreed by Council 19.07.05: - Planned Maintenance 57,000 * - Economic Development Initiatives 22,900 * - Joint Health Promotion 23,500 * Risk Management Initiatives funded from the Insurance Reserve 24,190 * DMS Server funded from the Working Accounts Reserve (Cabinet 5/12/05) 5,600 * Ragwort removal funded from the Special and Other Emergency Reserve (Cabinet 21/9/05). 10,000 * Interim Chief Executive funded from the Special and Other Emergency Reserve (Appointments Committee 18/11/05). 20,320 * 163,510 Deduct: Net variations reported to Cabinet 12.12.05 (4,830 ) Amounts set aside from increases in fees and charges to fund abatement and infrastructure (39,610 ) improvements at the Crematorium reported to CM for the Environment 2.11.05 Net underspendings now identified at revised budget stage (56,210 ) (100,650)

REVISED BUDGET £13,494,520

3.2 The items asterisked above, totalling £163,510, will be financed from earmarked reserves.

3.3 The above analysis reveals an improvement on the situation reported to the Cabinet in December 2005, mainly due to additional interest earned on investments, better than expected variable income from the car parking contract and various successful business rating appeals on Council-owned properties. Full explanations of all of the variations are detailed in the variation analyses appearing at the start of each Cabinet Member’s budget in the attached papers.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

3. 2005/06 REVISED BUDGET (continued)

3.4 The Council agreed to fund the costs of dealing with the various issues related to the Chief Executive by way of supplementary estimates financed from the Special and Other Emergency Reserve. The costs incurred in appointing an interim chief executive (initially for a six month period) have been met from this earmarked reserve. No other financial provision has been made in the Council’s estimates to fund any costs in resolving the Chief Executive situation.

3.5 On the evidence presented in most of the recent financial years, spending patterns between revised budget stages and the end of the financial year, have shown there is every reason to expect further underspendings which will be reported when the final accounts come before the Cabinet in July 2006. If so, this will afford the opportunity to reflate once again some of the Council’s other hard pressed revenue reserves. However, any specific recommendations must be deferred until the outturn results are known.

4. DRAFT REVENUE ESTIMATES 2006/07

4.1 The initial forecast of General Fund requirements began soon after the budget for 2005/06 was approved. The forecast made certain assumptions on the likely level of inflation (generally 2.5%) and the previously agreed pay awards (2.95%) for the following year. Income from fees and charges was also assumed to increase in line with inflation.

4.2 In addition, allowance was made for all known, unavoidable and committed growth in expenditure and reductions in income. This included growth of £1.227m at that stage, mainly relating to the introduction of a new free bus travel scheme for older and disabled people (£0.5m), a continuing decline in Local Land Charges income (£0.1m), a further stepped increase in pension contributions (£0.15m), revenue implications of the Capital Investment Programme (£0.15m), annual staffing increments (£75,000) and provision for the Local Pay and Grading Review (£70,000).

4.3 To offset these increases in expenditure recurring savings of £295,000 were identified and the assumption was made that the Government would provide full subsidy on the change to the Concessionary Fares Scheme. In view of the large funding gap and to enable the increase in Council Tax to be as low as possible, the Cabinet agreed a no growth budget as the main plank of its budget strategy for 2006/07.

4.4 The forecast also anticipated that any further growth in expenditure be restricted to unavoidable expenditure to satisfy the requirements of the Council’s Key Priorities, and any additional mandatory requirements placed upon the Council, provided these are funded by compensatory savings.

4.5 The detailed budget changes were approved by the Cabinet on the 12th December 2005. These changes were then presented to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee following that meeting, which recommended that the Cabinet should aim to reduce the provisional Council Tax for 2007/08 to less than 5%. The net expenditure forecast for 2006/07 agreed at that stage totalled £14.565m. This figure took into account the planned drawdowns from reserves agreed under the July 2005 budget strategy including no contribution from the working balance and £150,000 from the Pension Contributions Reserve (to help mitigate the impact of the 2004 Pension Fund valuation).

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

4. DRAFT REVENUE ESTIMATES 2006/07 (continued)

4.6 Detailed budgetary work is now complete (see attached summary). The final estimate of General Revenue Account requirements (net of the agreed transfers from reserves) is £14.630m, an increase of £65,000 on the forecast.

4.7 The key question of how the net budget requirement of £14.630m translates in to the Council Tax charge for next year cannot be determined until the Local Government Finance Settlement is finalised; details are expected to be announced around the end of January or early February 2006 and will be reported to the Cabinet at its meeting on either the 1st or the 6th February 2006. This issue is addressed in detail in a separate report elsewhere on the agenda titled “Setting of the Council Tax for the year 2006/07”.

4.8 Full details of all changes in the base budget from 2005/06 to 2006/07 are attached to each Cabinet Member’s budget pages, these are summarised briefly as follows:

£ £ 2005/06 Original Estimate 13,431,660 Add: Pay and Price Increases 367,720 13,799,380 Add: Committed and Unavoidable Growth: Increased Expenditure 1,324,520 Reduced Income 352,310 1,676,830 15,476,210 Less: Savings/Additional Income: Budget Savings (450,640) Additional Income (490,790) Other Net Budget Changes (14,560) (955,990 )

Net Cabinet Member Requirements 14,520,220 Add: Net Contributions to Reserves 259,780 (see paragraph 4.9) 14,780,000 Less: Transfer from Pension Contributions Reserve (see para. 4.5) (150,000 )

2006/07 BUDGET REQUIREMENT £14,630,000

4.9 Planned Net Contributions to Reserves – These mainly relate to:

h the provision of £26,250 agreed by the former Executive as a result of the acceptance of the tender for Insurance during 2003 and the increase in the self-insured risks as part of the overall insurance and risk management strategy.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

4. DRAFT REVENUE ESTIMATES 2006/07 (continued)

4.9 Planned Net Contributions to Reserves (continued)

h A part-year contribution from increased crematorium and cemetery charges w.e.f. 1/1/06, to finance capital improvement works and mercury emissions abatement works at the crematorium (agreed by Council 19/07/05 and CM for the Environment 2/11/05).

h A transfer of £168,050 to create a new Capacity Issues Reserve (see para. 6.2 (b)(xiii) below and recommendation 9.1 (c)).

5. HUMAN RESOURCES BUDGET 2006/07

5.1 Attached to this report is the summary human resources budget in respect of all employees working for the Council. These budgets allow for the deletion of posts identified in the “Capacity Issues” report elsewhere on this agenda.

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING

6.1 As reported last year, The Local Government Act 2003 introduced the following sections, which a local authority needs to comply with in dealing with its annual budget process.

(a) Section 25: Budget calculations: report on robustness of estimates etc

Section 25 of the Act requires an authority's Chief Finance Officer [in Worthing this is the Acting Assistant Director (Financial Services)] to make a report to the authority when it is considering its budget and council tax. The report must deal with the robustness of the estimates and the adequacy of the reserves allowed for in the budget proposals, so Members will have authoritative advice available to them when they make their decisions. The Section requires Members to have regard to the report in making their decisions.

(b) Sections 26 and 27: Minimum reserves

Section 26 gives the Secretary of State power to determine minimum reserves for local authorities in England by regulation. This minimum applies to the budget process: authorities have to ensure that their budget makes allowance for reserves at least equal to the minimum. Nothing in the Section prevents these reserves being used during the year, even if as a result they fall below the minimum. However, if it forecast that this is likely to happen, Section 27 requires the Chief Finance Officer to report to the authority, at the time the following year's budget and Council Tax is being considered, to explain the reasons and any action considered necessary to prevent a repetition.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING (continued)

6.1 (continued)

Local authorities need to monitor their income and expenditure against their budget, and be ready to take action if overspends or shortfalls in income emerge. These Sections make this a statutory duty. If monitoring establishes that the budgetary situation has deteriorated, authorities are required to take such action, as they consider necessary. This might include, for instance, action to reduce spending in the rest of the year, or to increase income, or the authority might decide to take no action but to finance the shortfall from reserves.

6.2 Action Taken To Comply With Statutory Duty

(a) Budget calculations: report on robustness of estimates etc

(i) As Members are aware, local authorities decide every year how much they are going to raise from council tax. They base their decision on a budget that sets out estimates of what they plan to spend on each of their services. Because they decide on the council tax in advance of the financial year in question, and are unable to increase it during the year, they have to consider risks and uncertainties that might force them to spend more on their services than they planned. Allowance is made for these risks by:

h making prudent allowance in the estimates for each of the services, and in addition

h ensuring that there are adequate reserves to draw on if the service estimates turn out to be insufficient.

(ii) Overall view on the robustness of the estimates

The Acting Assistant Director (Financial Services) and Section 151 Officer’s overall view of robustness of the estimates is therefore as follows: The processes followed are sound and well established and identical to those that produced robust estimates in the past. The Council has also demonstrated that it has a sound system of internal control in place, except for the following significant issue declared in the Council’s published Statement on Internal Control (26th July, 2005):

“ Corporate Governance - Whilst her powers, functions and responsibilities have been delegated to, and are being undertaken by, the Director of Resources and the Director of Services, the long term absence of the Chief Executive continues to be a significant issue.”

With the appointment of an interim Chief Executive on 20th December, 2005, the Council has taken positive action to address this issue.

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING (continued)

6.2 Action Taken To Comply With Statutory Duty (continued)

(ii) Overall view on the robustness of the estimates (continued)

Subject to the important reservations below, a reasonable degree of assurance can be given about the robustness of the estimates and the adequacy of reserves. The exceptions relate to:

(1) The provision of estimates for items outside of the direct control of the Council:

h income from fees and charges, e.g. Leisure Services,

h Demand for new services, e.g. the free travel scheme introduced by the Government,

h External competition and declining markets, e.g. Local Land Charges

h Unavoidable costs e.g. ASDA inquiry legal costs

(2) Initiatives and risks not specifically budgeted for:

h Risks on staff savings, e.g. not achieving vacancy targets, CRM efficiencies, addressing further capacity issues

h Priority initiatives, e.g. residents’ magazine, Citizens’ Panel, reputation management

It will therefore be important for the Cabinet and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee to maintain a diligent budget monitoring regime during 2006/07.

(b) Sections 26 and 27: Minimum reserves

(i) There is a statutory requirement for local authority Chief Financial Officers to report at budget time on the adequacy of reserves held by their Council. The purpose is to ensure Members have authoritative advice available to them when they make their decisions on the budget and Council Tax levels and that they pay due regard to that advice in doing so. This Council has always paid full regard to the advice of its Chief Financial Officer.

(ii) CIPFA’s Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting (2002) advises that “Revenue reserves result from events which have allowed monies to be set aside, surpluses, or decisions causing anticipated expenditure to have been postponed or cancelled. Reserves of this nature are available and can be spent or earmarked at the discretion of an authority.”

(iii) CIPFA published in February 2003 a “Guidance Note on Local Authority Reserves and Balances” which includes a section covering the “Principles to assess the adequacy of reserves”. This states the following, “In order to assess the adequacy of unallocated general reserves when setting the budget, finance directors should take account of the strategic, operational and financial risks facing the authority. Setting the level of general reserves is just one of several related decisions in the formulation of the medium term financial strategy and the budget for a particular year.

6.2 Action Taken To Comply With Statutory Duty (continued)

(b) (iii) Sections 26 and 27: Minimum reserves (continued)

Account should be taken of the key financial assumptions underpinning the budget alongside a consideration of the authority’s financial management arrangements. In addition to the cash flow requirements of the authority the following factors should be considered:

Budget assumptions

♦ The treatment of inflation and interest rates

♦ Estimates of the level and timing of capital receipts

♦ The treatment of demand led pressures

♦ The treatment of planned efficiency savings/productivity gains

♦ The financial risks inherent in any significant new funding partnerships, major outsourcing arrangements or major capital developments

♦ The availability of other funds to deal with major contingencies and the adequacy of provisions

Financial standing and management

♦ The overall financial standing of the authority (level of borrowing, debt outstanding, council tax collection rates etc)

♦ The authority’s track record in budget and financial management including the robustness of the medium term plans

♦ The authority’s capacity to manage in-year budget pressures

♦ The strength of the financial information and reporting arrangements

♦ The authority’s virement and end of year procedures in relation to budget under/overspends at authority and departmental level

♦ The adequacy of the authority’s insurance arrangements to cover major unforeseen risks

(iv) To enable a view to be taken on the adequacy of reserves, Members need to be aware that, broadly speaking, there are two categories of revenue reserves relevant to this Council. The General Fund Working Balance which primarily is available to cushion the impact of uncertain cash flows and act as a contingency to meet unforeseen costs arising during a budget year (e.g. supplementary estimates); and Earmarked Reserves which are sums held for specific defined purposes and to meet known or predicted liabilities. Both categories of reserves can be used on a planned prudent basis to underpin the annual budget.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING (continued)

6.2 Action Taken To Comply With Statutory Duty (continued)

(b) Sections 26 and 27: Minimum reserves (continued)

(v) General Fund Working Balance

The Council’s budget principles and guidelines 2006/07 agreed in June 2005 that there would be no planned drawdown from the Working Balance to support annual budget requirements during the period 2006 – 2009. As indicated earlier in the report, the revised budget for 2005/06 and the estimate for next year assumes no drawdown from the working balance in either year.

(vi) The year-end level on the General Fund Working Balance for the foreseeable future, therefore, is estimated as follows:

£’000 Balance carried forward – per Final 31.03.2005 1,140 Accounts 31.03.2006 No planned drawdown expected 1,140 31.03.2007 No planned drawdown expected 1,140 31.03.2008 No planned drawdown expected 1,140 31.03.2009 No planned drawdown expected 1,140

(vii) I suspect that when the budget strategy is reviewed in July 2006, the continuation of the policy of having no planned drawdown will continue as indicated in the table above. Also I consider it highly likely that, once the final accounts for 2005/06 are known, there will be no recommended drawdown for this year, due to the inherent inclination for the authority to underspend in the final few months of each financial year.

(viii) However, on the basis of the year-end figures above, and taking into account past performance and the acknowledged track record of sound financial management in this Council, I believe the working balance is adequate for its purpose. To confirm this view, a limited number of yardsticks are available, not least from one of the Audit Commission’s criteria for a “good” ranking under their CPA methodology, which expects the GF Working Balance to be at least 5% of forecast net operating expenditure. For 2006/07 the 5% minimum would equate to around £732,000. The Council itself (October 2005) has agreed a slightly higher minimum limit of 6% (£879,000) with an upper limit of 8% (£1,172,600); the forecast level falls within these parameters.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING (continued)

6.2 Action Taken To Comply With Statutory Duty (continued)

(b) Sections 26 and 27: Minimum reserves (continued)

Earmarked Reserves

(ix) As at 31st March 2005, the Council maintained fourteen individual earmarked revenue reserves, ranging from small sums held for such purposes as Conservation Grants and Economic Development Initiatives to the substantial balances held in the Special and Other Emergency Expenditure Reserve, which the Council has agreed will be used to finance the external legal and professional employment advice in dealing with various matters associated with the Chief Executive and the appointment of an interim Chief Executive. The Pension Contributions Reserve was set up specifically to help mitigate the future impact of the Pension Fund revaluation. (These are all listed and explained in detail in the Council’s Statement of Accounts 2004/05).

(x) The total balance on all these earmarked revenue reserves at 31st March 2005 was £2,485,000. The figure excludes S.106 commuted sums held for future environmental improvements and other sums held in reserve solely for capital expenditure purposes.

(xi) As CIPFA says, “earmarked reserves are a means of building up funds to meet known or predicted liabilities”. By definition they are there to be spent for specific purposes, primarily on a planned basis. They will, therefore, fluctuate more significantly than, say, the working balance, as spending plans come to fruition.

(xii) For example, a core element of the Council’s medium term budget strategy is the planned utilisation of £600,000 from the Pension Contributions Reserve over the four years 2005/06 to 2007/08 to help offset the impact on the Council Taxpayer of the increase in employer’s pension costs arising from the Pension Fund revaluation in 2001 and more recently in 2004. A report on the Valuation was considered by the Cabinet at its meeting on the 19th January 2005. At face value, the overall level of earmarked reserves will be seen to diminish considerably over the years as the Pension Contributions Reserve is used up but, provided the spending plan is adhered to carefully, the Council should not be overly concerned. The Reserve, which has been accumulated from past surpluses, will have been spent prudently and reasonably for the medium term benefit of all Council Taxpayers.

(xiii) During the budget setting process, a number of capacity issues have been identified by Members and budget managers. These have been collated, prioritised and are presented for the Cabinet’s consideration elsewhere on this agenda. Medium and low priorities are still to be considered. In addition, the demand-led pressures identified in paragraph 6.2(a)(ii) above, carry with them a degree of uncertainty. This is particularly true of the new concessionary fares scheme, where there is no prior history on which to base estimates.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING (continued)

6.2 (continued)

(b) Sections 26 and 27: Minimum reserves (continued)

Furthermore, numerous cost pressures have been identified in the three-year revenue forecast, which will also have a profound effect on the Council’s financial capacity in 2007/08; items such as the full year effect of:

h the Local Plan Public Consultation (£102k)

h the Local Pay and Grading Review (£420k)

h revenue costs of the Capital Investment Programme (£125k)

For these reasons, I am recommending that the Cabinet establishes a new earmarked reserve (the Capacity Issues Reserve) to build in some financial capacity to cope with budgetary fluctuations during the forthcoming and future years. Any proposed spending from this earmarked reserve would need prior approval of the Cabinet in the normal way.

(xiv) The following table illustrates the impact of the expected drawdowns on overall earmarked revenue reserves over the medium term:

£’000 Balance carried forward – see Final 31.03.2005 2,485 Accounts 2004/05 31.03.2006 (After planned drawdown [-£150k] from 2,296 Pension Reserve and others agreed in year [-£39k net]) 31.03.2007 (After planned drawdown [-£150k] from 2,412 Pension Reserve and others agreed in year [+£266k net]) 31.03.2008 (After planned drawdown [-£150k] from 2,262 Pension Reserve) 31.03.2009 (After planned drawdown [-£150k] from 2,112 Pension Reserve)

(xiv) In all probability, the Council will continue to have occasional opportunities to put money into earmarked reserves rather than solely to drawdown on a planned basis. Even without this, I believe the earmarked revenue reserves are adequate for their particular purposes but their relative paucity in comparison with many other authorities leaves the Council with little room for using these reserves for new spending initiatives. The Council will have to maintain its current policy of spending its scarce earmarked reserves (other than the Pension Contributions Reserve) on supporting one-off rather than recurring revenue expenditures.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

6. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION - ROBUSTNESS OF ESTIMATES, ADEQUACY OF REVENUE RESERVES AND BUDGET MONITORING (continued)

6.2 Action Taken To Comply With Statutory Duty (continued)

(i) Members will recall that at the meeting of the Cabinet in December, 2004, the report on the budget forecast contained a proposal to invest the proceeds from the disposal of certain assets in 2005/06 and 2006/07, which are being accumulated to provide the investment resources necessary to re-provide the Council’s swimming facilities and to re-furbish the Leisure Centre.

(ii) This will be carried out in accordance with the agreed Treasury Management Strategy and these receipts will begin to accrue interest earnings from the date of receipt. In 2006/07, interest earnings in excess of £70,000 could be generated from these investments. This will only be a temporary situation, as the capital receipts could be consumed very quickly if the planned use of these receipts goes ahead.

(iii) In accordance with the Cabinet’s approval, the interest generated from these receipts, once they have been invested, will be set aside in an earmarked reserve for the purposes of providing funds for one-off initiatives or pump-priming funds connected with the achievement of the Council’s Corporate Plan and Key Priorities.

(d) To conclude this section, it is worth remembering that the Council has a long proven record of managing its financial affairs within tight budgetary constraints and without the benefit of substantial surplus cash held in reserve. The authority has grown used “to cutting its cloth” accordingly, and has done so successfully. Provided, in the future, the Council remains prudent and maintains a regular review of its budget strategy the level of revenue reserves should prove adequate, certainly over the lifetime of the medium term financial plan.

7. COUNCIL TAX SETTING

7.1 The Council is obliged to raise the balance of its resources after grant to finance the General Fund Revenue Budget from its local Council Taxpayers. The Worthing Borough Council Tax will be added to the Precepts from the West Sussex County Council and the Sussex Police Authority to form a combined Council Tax to levy on the taxpayers of Worthing.

7.2 Once the Cabinet has reached a decision on the Total Budget Requirement it wishes to recommend to the Council for the 2006/07 Budget, the resulting Council Tax for the Borough can be set. This takes into account the Total Aggregate External Finance (Revenue Support Grant and Business Rates contributions) and any contribution to or from the local Collection Fund.

7.3 A separate report has been prepared on the amount which is recommended to be raised through the Council Tax, and can be found elsewhere on the agenda. This will also be considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

INTRODUCTION SUMMARY REVENUE BUDGET REPORT

8 CONCLUSION

8.1 Once again, an early start to the budgetary process proved invaluable in preparing and agreeing the agreed budget strategy. The discipline of reviewing budgets and identifying efficiency and savings options in a continuing process will be critical to ensure the Council’s effectiveness in providing Value for Money for Council Taxpayers.

8.2 In preparing the strategy and forecast for 2006/07 an assessment was carried out of the significant risks and factors which may have an impact on the Council’s budget. Some of these have been dealt with and the budget adjusted accordingly. However, the following items have not been completely dealt with and will have a bearing on future budgets:

Local Government Finance Settlement White Paper on Local Government Reorganisation Balance of Funding Review The Efficiency Review Interest Rates Funding the Vision and Key Priorities Financial Capacity Pension Contributions

Many of these are dealt with in the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan, which is due to be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The preparation of an updated three-year rolling budget forecast will form an essential part of this work.

8.3 The annual preparation of the budget is a massive exercise involving the co- operation and support of countless officers in all departments of the Council. Most of the work, of course, falls on the Financial Services Section and has to be completed within tight time constraints at a difficult time of year.

9. RECOMMENDATION

9.1 The Cabinet is recommended to:

(a) agree the revised budgets for 2005/06 produced in Cabinet Member Portfolio order;

INTRODUCTION SETTING OF WORTHING BOROUGH COUNCIL TAX

Ward: N/A

Agenda Item: 6 Committee: Cabinet Subject: Setting of the Council Tax for 1st February, 2006 the year 2006/2007

Overview & Scrutiny Authors: Acting Assistant Director 6th February, 2006 (Financial Services)

Director of Resources

1. SUMMARY

1.1 This report follows on from the previous report dealing with the approval of the overall net revenue budget requirements for Worthing Borough Council purposes. The report recommends the Borough’s element of the Council Tax for each of the tax bands for 2006/2007. This will be subject to any proposals to change the draft revenue budget following the consideration of the Cabinet’s budget proposals by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

1.2 The precept requirements of the West Sussex County Council and Sussex Police Authority are not known at this stage and will not be confirmed until 10th and 9th February 2006 respectively. Therefore the formal detailed resolution setting the overall Council Tax for next year will be presented direct to the Council Meeting on 21st February 2006.

1.3 The Cabinet is asked to agree a provisional level of Council Tax for 2006/07, and to refer the report and recommendations to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on the 6th February 2006 for their comments. The Cabinet will then consider any final amendments to the Council Tax at its meeting on the 6th February 2006, prior to its submission to the Council for approval on the 21st February 2006.

2. NET BUDGET REQUIREMENT 2006/2007

2.1 The Cabinet, in considering the previous item on this agenda, has been asked to agree the draft Revenue Budget for 2006/07, which takes into account the base budget changes identified in the forecast report, plus any further changes which have come to light in the course of the detailed budget preparation.

2.2 The net budget requirement is the key starting point in calculating the amount to be raised from local Council Taxpayers in 2006/2007. Following the detailed budget preparation, the total budget now stands at £14,630m.

3. COUNCIL TAX

3.1 Details of the final Local Government Finance Settlement for 2006/2007 are not expected to be announced by the Government until late January or early February 2006. In terms of Council Tax setting, the settlement contains the final amounts of government support for the local Council Tax, Aggregate External Finance (AEF). In the meantime, the Cabinet will want to provide some indication of the likely level of the Council Tax for 2006/2007, and the information contained in the provisional Local Government Finance Settlement announced on the 5th December 2005 has been used in this report.

3.2 Worthing Borough Council

(a) The following table shows the net sum to be raised from local Council Taxpayers in 2006/2007:s

£ £ Net Budget Requirement – per previous item 14,630,000 on this agenda Less: Aggregate External Finance (para 3.1): Revenue Support Grant 1,218,977 Contribution from Business Rates 6,314,776 7,533,753 7,096,247 Less: Contribution from the Collection Fund Deficit 37,766

Balance to be raised from Council Tax 7,058,481

(b) The Borough’s tax base for 2006/2007, as approved by the Assistant Director (Financial Services) under delegated powers granted to him by the Council on 18th December 2003, comprises 37,887.71 Band D equivalent properties. In order to raise the required sum, the Council Tax at Band D must be set at £186.30, an increase of 4.86% on 2005/06 (£177.66).

(c) This Council Tax projection will change if, as indicated earlier, the final Finance Settlement for Worthing differs significantly from the provisional Settlement figures used in this report, or if changes are made to the budget following consideration of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

3.3 West Sussex County Council and Sussex Police Authority

(a) Neither of these authorities has yet determined their precepts on this Council for 2006/07. The County Council’s requirements are expected to be confirmed on 10th February 2006, with the Police Authority’s announcement expected on the previous day.

(b) Provisional figures emanating from County Hall suggests an increase of 4.9% for the County Council (as per budget reports currently being circulated) and a maximum of 5% for the Police Authority. On this basis the overall increase in the Council Tax for Borough residents would be finalised somewhere around 4.9%.

3.4 Overall Council Tax

(a) The final figures for all authorities will be incorporated into the formal Council Tax setting resolution to be presented to the Borough Council meeting on 21st February 2006. In the meantime, the provisional Council Tax for Worthing Borough Council at the various bands for 2006/07 is shown below.

Proportion in relation Worthing Borough Band to Band D Council % £ A 66.7 124.20 B 77.8 144.90 C 88.9 165.60 D 100.0 186.30 E 122.2 227.70 F 144.4 269.10 G 166.7 310.50 H 200.0 372.60

3.5 Council Tax Capping

(a) The report on the Local Government Finance Settlement includes information about the Government’s view on the level of Council Tax increases for 2006/07. The Minister has already made it clear that the Government will not hesitate in using its reserve powers to “cap” authorities that set budgets which result in excessive increases in Council Tax.

(b) Members will be aware of the current media discussion and various announcements from Government Ministers which seem to indicate that increases above 5% may be deemed to be excessive.

(c) The following is an extract from the Statement made by the Minister for Local Government (Phil Woolas) on the 5th December 2005 in announcing the Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement to the House of Commons:

“Three year settlements

Sensible planning for service delivery needs a stable and predictable funding environment. Freezes on grant distribution changes have helped. But the time has come to go further, and give councils firm forward financial allocations. There is no reason why councils cannot now provide similar certainty for their local taxpayers when setting their council tax for 2006/07, by providing an indicative council tax for 2007/08.

Budgets and Council Tax

We have provided a stable and predictable funding basis for local services. We expect local Government to respond positively as far as council tax is concerned.

INTRODUCTION SETTING OF WORTHING BOROUGH COUNCIL TAX

3. COUNCIL TAX (continued)

3.5 Council Tax Capping (continued)

Budgets and Council Tax (continued)

Therefore we expect to see average council tax increases in each of the next two years of less than 5%. There is, following today’s announcement, no excuse for excessive increases.

Local government should be under no illusions; if there are excessive increase, we will take capping action - as we have done over the last two years."

3.6 In the light of this, and the decision taken on the level of the net budget requirement needed to provide Worthing Borough Council services in 2006/2007, Members are recommended to confirm the provisional increase in the Council Tax to be applied in 2006/07.

3.7 In view of the risks and uncertainties identified in future years as part of the Medium Term Financial Plan (see also the “Summary Revenue Budget Report” on this agenda), it is recommended that no indicative Council Tax is set for 2007/08. However, Members will recall that the Cabinet has already endorsed the recommendation of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee to reduce the provisional Council Tax increase for 2007/08 to less than 5% (Cabinet 15/12/05).

4. RECOMMENDATION

4.1 The Cabinet is asked to recommend that:

(a) the provisional Council Tax for Worthing Borough Council’s requirements in 2006/2007 of £186.30 for a Band D equivalent property be set as a result of agreeing the draft civic budget and the resulting net budget requirement. (The formal detailed resolution will be presented to the Council on 21st February 2006); and

(b) the report be submitted to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, and to receive back any comments, observations or recommendations at the meeting of the Cabinet on the 6th February 2006, prior to making final recommendations on the level of Council Tax to the Council for approval on the 21st February 2006.

4.2 The Overview and Scrutiny Committee:

(a) is asked if it wishes to refer any comments, observations or recommendations back to the Cabinet on the 6th February 2006, prior to the Cabinet making a final recommendation on the level of Council Tax for Worthing for submission to the Council for approval on the 21st February 2006.

1. SUMMARY

1.1 This report and the attached formal resolution sets out details of the Council Tax for each band for the financial year 2006/2007. The Council is recommended to agree the Council Tax as set out in the attached papers, resulting in an overall increase of 4.86% in the Council Tax for the year 2006/2007.

2. BACKGROUND

2.1 The Council Tax for Worthing Borough Council was considered and recommended to the Council following a meeting of the Cabinet held on the 6th February 2006.

2.2 At the date of the meeting of the Cabinet, the Council Tax and Precept to be levied on this Authority by the West Sussex County Council and the Sussex Police Authority was not available. These have since been formally notified to the Council following meetings of those authorities on the 17th and 16th of February 2006, respectively.

3. COUNCIL TAX

Worthing Borough Council

3.1 As reported at the meeting of the Cabinet held on the 6th February 2006, the Borough’s tax base for 2006/07 comprises 37,887.71 Band D equivalent properties. In setting the Council’s budget requirement at £14,630,000 and deducting £7,533,753 Aggregate External Finance and £37,766 Collection Fund surplus, the Authority has to raise £7,058,481 from local Council Taxpayers. The Cabinet has therefore, recommended a Band “D” tax of £186.30, an increase of 4.86% on 2005/2006 (£177.66).

West Sussex County Council and Sussex Police Authority

3.2 The County Council has notified this Authority that their precept for 2006/2007 will be £1,001.34. The Sussex Police Authority has also confirmed their precept requirement as £115.74 for 2006/2007.

(a) This budget is mainly a Government Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) grant towards administration costs. It is cash limited and assessed using a formula based on number of claims. From 2006/07, the DWP has changed the way it distributes this grant by combining the elements relating to the payment of rent allowances and council tax benefits with those for verification framework (VF) and security against fraud and error (SAFE). This has penalised those authorities like Worthing who have had a good record in fraud and verification performance and resulted in an overall reduction in grant of £37,440 in 2006/07 and £60,200 from 2007/08 onwards.

The garden was bequeathed to the people of the Borough of Worthing in 1968 and houses the most unique planting classified by the National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens (N.C.C.P.G.) as a national collection. The garden attracts serious horticultural interest internationally as well as from national, regional and local audiences, and is the possessor of a green flag award.

DEPARTMENTAL AND OFFICE ACCOMMODATION HOLDING ACCOUNTS

The following pages refer to the estimates for Central and Departmental Support Service Holding Accounts, which comprise the range of support service costs that each service bears. The estimates of all support services are analysed by department.

The Support Services Summary Account below summarises all these accounts and shows the main heads of expenditure on each Holding Account together with the main service areas where these have been recharged. The total budgeted expenditure and recharges for the original estimate and next year’s estimate are shown with the variance.

These tables demonstrate that the net cost of all support services are fully recharged to the services provided by the Council under each Cabinet Member’s responsibility.

WORTHING CONTRACT SERVICES TRADING ACCOUNTS

The AWS (Adur and Worthing Services) project is a major joint working initiative which involves the bringing together of the Direct Services Organisations of both Councils. It covers many of the direct front line service areas that the public traditionally associate with their local Council, refuse collection recycling and street cleansing.

Considerable advancement has been made on the project. The key task of bringing the two DSOs together in a single depot at Commerce Way, Lancing was successfully completed in 2005. As a result, Meadow Road Depot has been transformed into an industrial estate and much of it has been let to local organisations and businesses who offer employment and charitable works to the community. Work has now started on bringing the two workforces together as a single service.

Budget codes (showing income and expenditure relating to Worthing Borough Council) comprise:

Refuse Collection: Clinical Waste Collection – Budget Code 2321 Household Waste Collection – Budget Code 2311 Recycling – Budget Code 2351 Trade Waste – Budget Code 2341

Street Cleaning – Budget Code 2331

Sea Defence – Budget Code 2721

Grounds Maintenance (Leisure Centre only) – Budget Code 2711

Vehicle Maintenance – Budget Code 2911

Additional Information

(a) The 2006/07 Budget includes increased expenditure of £50,960 funded by anticipated extra income in relation to the FIT4 scheme reported to Cabinet 12th December, 2005.

(b) There has been a rationalisation of the coding structure and the Household and Recycling budgets have been split in order that the individual waste functions may be shown. The 2006/07 budgets include the growth and savings items reported to Cabinet 12th December, 2005 and itemised on the service page within the Cabinet Member for the Environment’s portfolio.

(c) The 2006/07 Budget Estimate includes a reduction in income due to loss of contracts (£30,000) offset by reduced employee costs (Cr £18,000), reported to Cabinet 12th December, 2005.

(d) The 2005/06 Revised and 2006/07 Budget Estimate includes the cost of a Fitter post, which had previously been unfilled and a Garage Hand. These costs should be recovered by additional income from MOT works and increased hourly charge out rates.

THREE YEAR CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME

1. Financial Control - In view of the requirements of the Council's Financial Regulations concerning the control of Index Of Lead Officers capital expenditure, the Capital Investment Programme has been prepared in order to distinguish between: Chief Executive’s Department: (a) Schemes Under £100,000 – schemes where approval has been given under delegated authority; and MB Mike Bleakley A.D. (Policy Development) (b) Key Decisions – schemes which result in the Council incurring capital expenditure in excess of £100,000 CM Clare Mangan Strategic Housing & Planning and which require Cabinet or Cabinet Member approval. Manager

2. Capital Strategy – The Council agreed its second Capital Strategy document in July 2002 and was awarded a Resources Department: “good” rating. This means that the Council is not required to submit a further document, but to keep it updated for review by auditors. The preparation of this year’s programme has been carried out in line with the principles SC Steve Coe Estates Manager contained in the agreed strategy. The strategy lays down the basis for the prioritisation of bids for schemes to BC Bryan Curtis Principal Engineer be included in the three-year programme covering all services, including Housing. TC Terry Cutler Benefits Policy & Investigation Manager 3. Prioritisation of Schemes – The programme has been prepared in light of the scoring mechanism agreed in CF Carl Flinn Surveying and Design the Capital Strategy and is used by Officers as a guide on which to identify the schemes recommended for Services Manager inclusion in the programme. Amendments have been made to the scores this year to align the scoring WF William Fullbrook Group Accountant (Services) mechanism with the Revenue Priority Scoring System. CH Cliff Harrison A.D. (Property Services) SH Suzi Hughes Joint Strategic Head of H.R. 4. Contingency for Inflation and Fluctuations AJ Anthony Jackson Group Accountant (Corporate) The Housing Programme, which provides resources to meet the needs identified in the Council’s Housing SS Steve Spinner Business Services Manager Strategy, is estimated at outturn prices. Estimates for all other schemes are at November 2005 prices as, for most

projects, it is not practical at this stage to forecast the effects of future inflation. In order to ensure that adequate Services Department: finance is available to meet such expenditure over the three years, a general contingency has been included in

each Cabinet Member's programme. JA James Appleton A.D. (Planning Services)

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Band D Equivalents This term relates to one of the Council Tax Valuation Bands (see Council Tax). The Bands A to C and E to H are weighted to the equivalent of Band D. This derived band D Equivalent is used as a basis for calculating the Council Tax.

Best Value Legislation requires councils to achieve best value in service provision with effect from 1st April, 2000. They must deliver economic, efficient and effective services and strive for continuous improvement in all areas of activity.

Best Value The Best Value Accounting Code of Practice first issued in 2000 is an Accounting Code of authoritative guide to financial accounting for local authorities within the Practice (ACOP) best value environment. The Code modernises the framework for local authority accounting. It has been formally approved by the Government indicating that it is not currently minded instead, to make regulations about the keeping of local authority accounts.
