2. Recommendations
2.1. Members are requested to:
(a) Note the projected Revenue outturn position detailed in Table 1 above; 
(b) Note the projected Capital outturn position detailed in Table 2 above; and 
(c) Note the budget adjustments detailed at sections 4 and 6. 
3. Revenue
3.1. The Revenue Budget Monitoring report at Appendix 1 identifies a projected
underspend of £0.034 million (1.1% of total budget) for all services reporting
to this Policy Board.  Detailed division service reports can also be found here,
together with an explanation of any significant projected variances.
3.2. The projected outturn is based on information currently available, and
assumptions made by service budget holders.  Any changes to these
projections will be detailed in future reports to the Board.
3.3. The main reasons for the projected outturn position are indicated below the
tables showing both the subjective analysis (what the budget is spent on) and
the objective analysis (which division is spending the budget). 
4. Revenue Budget Adjustments
4.1. Members are requested to note from Appendix 1 that minor budget
adjustments totalling £0.013 million have been processed since the previous
report to board.  
5. Capital
5.1. The Capital Investment Programme 2022/23 to 2026/27 was approved by the
Council on 3 March 2022. For Economy and Regeneration the approved
capital spend for 2022/23 is £33.482m
5.2. The Capital Monitoring report at Appendix 2 indicates net budget adjustments
to date in the 2022/23 approved capital programme for Economy and
Regeneration of £12.389m, largely as a result of reprofiling budget from
2022/23 into 2023/24 for Paisley Town Hall and Paisley Museum to reflect
updated cashflows. 
5.3. Further detail, including reasons for significant variances (where applicable),
can be found at appendix 2. 
6. Capital Budget Adjustments
6.1. Since the last report, budget changes totalling £12.702m have arisen which
reflect the following:
