Overview & Scrutiny Matters PDF 114 KB At the meeting held on 15th January 2020, the Overview & Scrutiny Committee made the following recommendations to Cabinet:
Agenda Item 11 - Executive / Scrutiny Protocol
‘To recommend that Cabinet approves the Executive/Scrutiny Protocol and refers it to Council for inclusion in the Constitution’
Agenda Item 10 – 2020/21 Base Budget
The Overview & Scrutiny Committee pre-scrutinised the revenue and capital budgets, the reserves and the range of risks and saving challenges. The Committee agreed that it was not able to conduct a high level holistic review of all the components comprising the budget setting process, principally because the accurate revenue and capital costs for five Corporate Plan themes, the Delivery Plan and the performance framework have yet to be developed. To that extent the Committee was not able to comment on the funding metrics to deliver the Corporate Plan, or the degree of integration of between the vital components. It was also agreed that there was little evidence of effective linkage with the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) at this stage, as that work has yet to be done. With those limitations and caveats in mind, the Committee makes the following process-based recommendations to Cabinet.
RESOLVED to recommend to Cabinet
1. That the revenue and capital implications for funding the Corporate Planning (CP) themes be developed to calculate accurate values, in order to populate the revenue and capital budgets to align with the implementation of the delivery plan.
2. That the full extent of internal and external borrowing to fund the CP be identified, and that the impact of this spending on the Council’s investment income and future savings demands be reflected in the MTFS.
3. That an in-depth review of the earmarked reserves is undertaken to verify whether these are still required and whether the values are still appropriate, in order to determine whether any reserves may be released for use elsewhere.
4. That work to identify the Council’s risk appetite is undertaken to assess the resilience and robustness of the 2020/21 revenue and capital budgets, the reserves, and the medium term funding challenges for 2021/22/23.
5. That the budget monitoring model be amended to integrate financial monitoring with the MTFS, and performance monitoring, to present higher level holistic updates rather than low level line by line variances.
