Board/Committee Meetings ONLY Report For Noting For Reports to be held in Private Classification: Reason 1 Purpose 1.1 To advise the Board of the final Capital Budget position for the financial year ending 31 March 2018 and to outline the areas which have benefitted from the investment.

2 Background 2.1 The Scottish Government allocated funding to SFRS within its 2017/18 Budget of £311.825 million. This funding comprised a Cash Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) of £287.146 million and £24.679 million in respect of depreciation (Ring-fenced or “non- cash” DEL).

2.2 Within the Cash DEL funding for 2017/18, the Capital Programme was set at £32.500 million and the balance of £254.646 million was assigned to the Resource Budget.

2.3 In addition to DEL funding, the Capital Programme initially anticipated income from capital receipts of £9.500million, which was revised during the year to £8.397 million.

3 Final Outturn 3.1 The final Net Capital Expenditure for 2017/18, as reported in the draft accounts, was £31.335 million which comprised the following:

£000 Capital Category Programme Property 11,565 Vehicles 17,001 ICT 4,119 Operational Equipment 7,047

SFRSBoard/Report/CapitalBudget Page 1 of 10 Version 1.0: 10/10/2018 OutturnReport2017-18 NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED 3.2 When compared with the Capital DEL funding, this represents an underspend against budget of £1.165 million (0.037%). £1.112 million of the underspend was due to the SFRS being able to reclaim VAT from 16 March 2018, which was two weeks earlier than anticipated. £0.053 million of the underspend was due to good/services not being received by 31 March 2018.

3.3 Capital Receipts of £8.397 million arose from the sale of the former Fire Service Training College at Gullane, the former Grampian Fire Service’s Headquarters at North Anderson Drive, former Kinlochleven Fire Station, excess land at Balloch, Tongue and Beauly, as well as miscellaneous vehicle and operational equipment sales.

SFRSBoard/Report/CapitalBudget Page 3 of 10 Version 1.0: 10/10/2018 OutturnReport2017-18 NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED 6.7 Timing 6.7.1 This report covers the financial year 2017/18.

6.10.2 Risks were recognised in relation to the delivery and value of capital receipts. During the year the sale of Mounthooly was postponed due to delays in the sale process, however the impact of this was managed to match expenditure to income/funding.
