Overview of the 2012/13 Budget 1. Introduction to the Budget Book

The Council’s budget is comprised of two main accounts:

• The General Fund (Detailed budgets page 13 – 40) • The Capital Programme (Detailed budgets page 41 – 44)

The General Fund includes all income and expenditure incurred in the day-to-day running of the Council. The Capital budgets include income and expenditure which acquire, enhance or improve long-term assets (e.g. Cotgrave Masterplan, Information Systems Strategy, Vehicle Replacements etc.)

2. Corporate Strategy 2012/16

In order to proactively prepare Rushcliffe for the future a strategy for the next four years has been drawn up with three key themes at the heart. These are:

• Supporting sustainable economic growth to ensure a prosperous and thriving local economy

• Maintaining and enhancing our residents’ quality of life

• Transforming the Council to enable the delivery of efficient high quality

services The Corporate Strategy has been developed alongside the Council’s Budget setting process in order to align resources to the delivery of key priorities. The Medium Term Financial Strategy was approved by Cabinet in October 2011. It set out 5 high level “guiding principles” that have provided an overarching framework for the 2012/13 budget and medium term financial forecasts (see Section 2).

3. The General Fund Budget Requirement

The budget requirement is the amount of money the Council estimates it will require to provide the level of services determined within the budget. The chart below shows the estimated level of spend by service category.

Variance Explanations

The changes had three major impacts.1. Central Support Costs have been re-classified as Operating Expenditure.2. Corporate Management costs have been re-allocated to Services.3. Capital charges costs for support services have been re-allocated to Services.

Where these variances occur in the following detailed budgets they are referenced with an x.

SUMMARY OF GENERAL FUND REVENUE ESTIMATES

11,066,950 9,932,380

The following pages outline detailed service budgets and variances from the Original Budget 2011/12. It is important to note that the change in methodology creates many variances within services but not against the overall Net Council Budget.

The increase in the 2012/13 budget is due to a review of work undertaken through the grounds maintenance SLA. This has been offset by possible savings identified in the service review of security cost reductions at Rushcliffe Country Park (RCP).

As part of the service review, income generation has been identified at Rushcliffe Country Park for the ice cream concession and additional parking income potential at Bridgefield.

In accordance with SerCOP direct revenue financing costs are no longer shown on the face of the service budgets.

The increase in the 2012/13 budget is due to a review of work undertaken through the grounds maintenance SLA.

Variance Explanations7 The Waste Collection service area has made savings due to the redesign

project in the collection of Green Waste, from the cessation of Trade Waste and from a small reduction in costs apportioned from the Environment & Waste Management and support staff. However these savings have been more than offset by the change in the method of support service costs apportionment resulting in an overall increase to the service expenditure. Income for 2012/13 on household waste has increased due to charging for the collection of garden waste. Income on recycling has reduced due to the resale price of glass cullet falling. Medical waste income has reduced as a result of a change in legislation affecting the items that can be charged for

Variance Explanations8 The Streewise service has been disaggregated to show two distinct services -

Street Cleansing and Grounds Maintenance. In doing so the service has been recast into the recipient service areas which has in most cases resulted in a variance from the previous combined recharge. The Streetwise service, prior to disaggregation, has made savings in employee costs by removing the cleaners in the villages and removing 3 posts where the current level of work allowed for the reduction in staff.However, the savings made have been offset by an increase in support services following a change in the method of time apportionment.

The funding agreement with EMDA for the Manvers Business Park, where a proportion of rental income is paid over, ceases in 2012/13 resulting in savings. The void allowances on rental income has been reviewed to reflect actual occupancy rates, leading to the additional increase in budgeted income.

Savings have arisen from reduced insurance costs following the renegotiated tender.

Void rates have been reassessed to reflect current occupancy patterns, resulting in an increase in budgeted income.

The Streewise service has been disaggregated to show two distinct services - Street Cleansing and Grounds Maintenance. In doing so the service has been recast into the recipient service areas which has in most cases resulted in a variance from the previous combined recharge. The Streetwise service, prior to disaggregation, has made savings in employee costs by removing the cleaners in the villages and removing 3 posts where the current level of work allowed for the reduction in staff. However, the savings made have been offset by an increase in support services following a change in the method of time

Plans for roofing maintenance at the Civic Centre are being reconsidered to establish the full extent of works required and the most effective way of funding those works. An adjustment has therefore been made to the revenue budget for 2012/13.
