1545  (16)  FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2008/2011 - AN INTRODUCTION, REVENUE BUDGET 2008/2009 AND FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2008/2011, CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2008/2011, TREASURY MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY 2008/2009 AND THE BATHS HALL - The Service Director Finance submitted reports relating to the Financial Strategy 2008/2011, the Revenue Budget for 2008/2009 and the Financial Strategy 2008/2011, the Capital Programme 2008/2011 and the Treasury Management and Investment Strategy for 2008/2009. The Service Director Asset Management and Culture also submitted a report on the Baths Hall.  Each year the council decides its spending plans for the next financial year.  This started in April and the plans included - 

• A revenue budget to cover the day to day running costs of council services
• A capital programme of investment in buildings and infrastructure
• A Treasury Management and Investment Strategy which says how the council will invest its cash, borrow for investment in assets or to help its cash flow and manage its debt.

To pay for the planned spending, the council takes account of the amount of government grant it will receive and sets a local council tax to meet the balance of costs.  The budget was part of a three year financial strategy for 2008/2011 because the council needed to be sure that spending on services was sustainable.  As part of this strategy the council also needed to consider how to meet the requirements of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and related government proposals affecting how local government operated. These included - 

• A new Local Area Agreement (LAA) and Corporate Area Assessment (CAA).
• New efficiency targets of 3% cashable savings a year.

The report explained the legal framework in which the council determined its financial strategy and referred to the public consultation which had taken place on this and related issues.  Detailed proposals for revenue, capital and treasury management were included in three separate papers together with a report in relation to proposals around the Baths Hall, Scunthorpe.

 

There was a legal requirement to set the revenue budget each year.  The council had to decide the level of spending it could afford and had to take account of how much government grant it would receive and the level of council tax it wished to set.  The council had to make sure that it set a balanced budget - and had identified adequate finance to pay for its spending plans.

 

The government had reserve powers to cap increases in council tax and the revenue budget which it considered excessive.  The minister for local government had indicated that he expected increases in council tax to be below 5%.  The council also had to set a separate capital programme for longer term investment in services.  This was spending on the construction and improvement of assets such as schools, roads and other council run facilities.  The rules which governed this investment changed in 2004.  There was now a prudential code which governed investment.  The council had to ensure the scale of investment was affordable and prudent over the long term and it was specifically required to calculate the cost for the next three years.

 

The council had also adopted the CIPFA (Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy) Code of Practice for Treasury Management, the standard of best practice.  The council had to set a strategy for the investment of cash surpluses, the management of its debt portfolio and to define how and in what circumstances it would borrow.

 

Revenue, capital and treasury issues were considered in each of the three papers that followed.  However, each of these were inter-related and decisions had to be taken in the context of the council's overall financial strategy.  In addition, a further element of the reporting process was a report on proposals for the project to redevelop the Baths Hall and to establish funding in the capital programme to take the project forward.

 

With regard to the revenue budget, the report referred to the need to determine the council's revenue budget for 2008/2009, the setting of the council tax for 2008/2009,  the financial strategy for 2008/2011 and indicative council tax levels and the approval of other items required by the Local Government Act 2003.  The council's strategic plan set the direction of the council's services.  This strategy was underpinned by a three year financial plan which matched resources to spending needs and priorities.  The plan translated into an annual revenue budget for the day to day running of services and a separate programme of capital investment. 

 

In relation to the finance settlement, the report indicated that it was an established principle that the cost of running local authority services were met partly from local tax and partly from government grant.  The components changed over time so there was a balance between local and central funding.  Currently the only local tax was the council tax.  Business rates were set nationally, collected locally and paid over to government and re-distributed as grants.  The total of government grant support was called Aggregate External Finance (AEF).  This comes in three ways - Formula Grant, Specific Grants and Area Based Grant (ABG).  The Area Based Grant was a new funding stream, but not new money.  A number of specific grants which were previously paid separately would now be pooled and the government had argued that this would give local authorities more flexibility to determine their own priorities.

 

For the first time grants had been allocated for three years and not one: for 2008/2009, 2009/2010 and 2010/2011.  This was to give local authorities the ability to plan for the medium term with greater certainty.  Authorities were expected to make full use of this certainty to project council tax levels for the second and third years.  The report detailed the real terms increases in grant overall for this year and the subsequent two years which were detailed in paragraphs 2.6 onwards.

 

The report then referred to the revenue account, the revenue budget for 2007/2008, the detailed financial plan for 2008/2011, the need to set a balanced budget for 2008/2009, the adequacy of reserves, the robustness of business estimates for 2008/2011 and value for money.

 

The report also referred to the council tax and precepts for 2008/2009.  North Lincolnshire Council was the billing authority for the area and this meant that it was responsible for setting the council tax to meet its own demands and meet the precepts of lower and higher tier authorities in the area.  The precepting authorities were Parish and Town Councils in North Lincolnshire, the Humberside Police Authority and the Humberside Fire Authority.  In addition, special expenses for Scunthorpe, equivalent to a parish precept had to be set by the council.  Each precepting body decided its own budget and council tax requirements.  Parish precepts were set by parish councils but were required to be part of the budget requirement set by the council.  Special expenses were for the council to decide.  The Police Authority set its precept on 12 February and the Fire Authority on 11 February 2008.  Parish details were contained in appendix C to the report.

 

In relation to the capital programme, the report indicated that the council had to decide its capital programme for 2008/2011 and approve the prudential indicators for council borrowing to meet the requirements of the Local Government Act 2003.  The building for improvement of assets such as schools, roads, housing and other council owned facilities was covered by the council's capital programme.  Grants to other organisations and individuals for capital purposes were also included.  The Local Government Act 2003 required capital spending to be accounted for separately.  The council had to fund capital expenditure in certain ways.  These included - 

• Grants and other external funding.
• Borrowing.
• Capital receipts from the sale of council assets.
• Direct contributions from the council's general fund and revenue budget.

There were some restrictions attached to each type of funding and these were detailed in paragraph 2.3 of the report.

 

The council had to take into account the advice of the Chief Financial Officer on the affordability of the capital programme being proposed.  This set a limit on the size of the prudential capital programme and priorities had to be determined.  His advice had to take account of the prudential code, produced by CIPFA. This set out the key principles that had to be followed, details of which were contained in paragraph 2.5.  A series of indicators and limits also had to be agreed by the council to meet prudential rules and these would help to decide what was affordable and what was prudent.  They were specific to the council.  No national guidelines had been set.  The key limits and indicators set for the rolling three year period (2008/2009 to 2010/2011) were detailed in paragraph 2.6 of the report.  The prudential code also required two further indicators as follows - 

• An upper limit on the council's fixed interest and day rate exposures (a limit on what can be borrowed at fixed and variable interest rates).
• Upper and lower limits for the maturity structure of borrowing (the term of the debt).

These indicators had to be regularly reviewed and revised where necessary.  Details of these were shown in appendix D or in the report on treasury management.  In addition, the council was expected to have adopted the CIPFA Code of Practice for Treasury Management in the Public Service.  This had been approved by Cabinet on 15 October 2002. 

 

The report contained further detailed information about the proposed capital programme which was contained in various appendices. 

 

With regard to the treasury management and investment strategy, the report detailed the rules for councils when they borrowed to pay for investment.  The report at appendix 4 outlined the treasury management and investment strategy for 2008/2009.  It had been prepared in line with 

• The CIPFA Code of Practice for Treasury Management.
• The Prudential Code
• The Local Government Finance Act 2003
• Guidance on Local Government Investments from the former Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM)

The suggested strategy for 2008/2009 was based on the council's views on interest rates, supplemented by leading market forecasts provided by the council's brokers, advisers and press statements. The strategy covered the current treasury position, prospects for interest rates, the investment strategy, the borrowing strategy, prudential indicators for external data and treasury management and proposed changes to capital finance regulations.  The report also detailed the current portfolio position, borrowing, prospects for interest rates, the investment strategy, the borrowing strategy, debt rescheduling, the prudential indicators for 2008/2009 to 2010/2011 and other detailed information.

 

Finally, a report was submitted in relation to the Baths Hall, Scunthorpe and particularly around the scope of the project to re-develop the Baths Hall and the establishment of funding in the capital programme to take it forward.  The report detailed various issues around the Baths Hall including options to be considered, together with the resource and other implications.
