Agenda Item 7 Management Committee 31 October 2017 2018/19 Budget Update For Decision Brief Holder Cllr Jeff Cant – Finance & Assets Senior Leadership Team Contact: J Vaughan, Strategic Director Report Author: J Vaughan, Strategic Director Statutory Authority Local Government Acts 1972, 1988, 1992 and 2003 Purpose of Report 1 To provide an update on the latest budget forecast and to outline the process for setting the budget. Officer Recommendations 2 That the Committee receives a report in February with the final budget proposals. Reason for Decision 3 To enable the Council to balance the 2018/19 budget. Background and Reason Decision Needed 4 The Budget report in February 2016 set out the financial forecast for the next three financial years with estimated budget gaps. Against this background the Councils Financial Strategy focused upon three strategic options, those being:- Plan A – Unitary Council Plan B – Single ‘super District’ Council Plan C – Stay as a stand-alone Council 5. The proposals for Unitary Councils in Dorset were submitted to the Secretary of State in February and at the time of writing the report we have not received the outcome of this. Page 5 Summary of the Key Issue 6. The key issues can be summarised as:- a. The budget gap across the decade is £10.693million. b. The current year’s budget is fully balanced and the latest Business Review reports shows a predicted underspend for the year due to savings being achieved ahead of scheduled. c. The work that has already been done on the 2018/19 budget means that despite it being just under £900,000 we are very confident that will have a balanced budget for next year. d. The Council has reserves over and above the risk based level. e. The budget process will identify options for balancing the 2019/20 budget and will enable the Council to continue with its financial management approach of planning ahead and delivering savings early. f. Overall the Council is now in a relatively strong financial position despite the environment being very challenging. Decade of Change in funding and financing 7. Although the council has faced some difficult financial challenges in the past, the current decade represents the biggest financial challenge due to the combination of the austerity measures and changes in financing of local authorities. 8. The table below is a summary of other overall financial impact upon the councils funding. The table below shows the budget gap each year that has been or needs to be closed by either increasing income or reducing expenditure. Year Gap Cumulative Gap £’000s £’000s 2010/11 1,109 1,109 2011/12 1,212 2,321 2012/13 827 3,148 2013/14 2,265 5,413 2014/15 900 6,313 2015/16 750 7,063 2016/17 529 7,592 2017/18 1,198 8,790 2018/19 897 9,687 2019/20 1,006 10,693 9. To help put this into context the Councils Budgeted Expenditure for the current year is £50.3million however out of this £30.7million is spent on Housing benefits over which the Council has no control. This leaves only £19.6million and means that there has to be some significant changes in how the council’s finances are managed and services provided. The vehicle for doing this has been the unique Partnership between the three Councils which has delivered significant savings and increased income. Page 6 10. The decade has also seen significant changes in how Councils are funded and the introduction of 50% Business Rates retention scheme. However, with the Government still controlling the multiplier and the Valuation Office setting the values, the funding the Council actually receives is significantly less than it collects. 11. The table below shows the funding collected from business rates and the amount that the Council retains. Total Business Rates collected £14.7m District 40% Share £5.9m Less Tariff Payment (£4.6m) Net Income £1.3m S31 Grant / Safety Net / Levy £0.5m Final Total Income £1.8m % of income collected 12% Financial Forecast 12. Part of the key to having a strong financial position is to focus on the medium term rather than just the year ahead. This enables you to make strategic decisions and understand the longer term impact of them. The Medium Term Financial Forecast has been therefore been extended to cover 2020/21.

  • The Community Justice Court in Plymouth the Community Justice Court in Plymouth Has Now Been Operation for Over a Year
    Issue 3 – December 2008 Welcome to the third Community Justice Update. Eighteen months since the start of the project there has been a great deal of change and exciting developments. This brief newsletter provides you with an update on the progress made in both elements of the Community Justice Initiative Explaining the Community Justice Initiative in 2008 and onwards We are still running the Community Justice Initiative through a project management structure, with a multi-agency Steering Group providing a decision-making forum. The Senior Responsible Officer for the Initiative has changed from David Gentry to Steve Cross (Head of Operations, Her Majesty’s Courts Service). Changes to the national Community Justice Programme now means work locally is split into two elements: innovation (including problem solving) and community engagement. Innovation The Community Justice Initiative Steering Group has recently agreed to expand the Community Justice Court principles to cases from across the city of Plymouth. This will remove the ‘two tier’ system. Further innovation such as: community impact statements pilot (Devon and Cornwall) and supporting life events problem solving model (Cornwall). Community Engagement Her Majesty’s Courts Service (HMCS) are required to increase community engagement by Magistrates’ across the country. In Devon and Cornwall a new member of staff, Tori Tweedie, is doing this. Tori joined the Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB) support team in August 2008 and you can read more about her, and the work she is involved in, later in this newsletter. The Community Justice Court in Plymouth The Community Justice Court in Plymouth has now been operation for over a year.
