Report Agenda Item Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum Date of Meeting: 10 October 2024 Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources) Subject: Revenue Budget Monitoring 2024/2025 1. Purpose of Report 1.1. The purpose of the report is to: [purpose] advise the Forum of the forecast for the year to 31 March 2025 for the Council’s General Fund Revenue Account and Housing Revenue Account, and the actual spend position for the period 1 April 2024 to 9 August 2024 [1purpose] 2. Recommendation(s) 2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation(s): [recs] (1) that the projected break-even position on the General Fund Revenue Account for 2024/2025, and the actual spend as at 9 August 2024 (section 4 and Appendix 1), be noted; and (2) that the projected break-even position on the Housing Revenue Account for 2024/2025, and the actual spend as at 9 August 2024 (section 5 and Appendix 2 of the report), be noted. 3. Background 3.1. This overview report will summarise the projected outturn for 2024/2025 for both the Council’s General Fund (section 4) and for the Housing Revenue Account (section 5). It will also provide the actual spend as at 9 August 2024. 4. General Services 2024/2025 Projected Outturn as at 9 August 2024 4.1. As at 9 August 2024, the projected outturn position for 2024/2025 on the General Services budget is break-even (Appendix 1). 4.2. Section 4.3 onwards provides detail on a number of key budget areas. 4.3. Teacher Numbers: As previously reported, in relation to 2024/2025, the Council has received notification that the allocation of funding for teacher numbers of £145.5 million for 2024/2025 will be distributed via Specific Resource Grants, and those grants will be conditional on councils agreeing at the outset to maintain teacher numbers. Our share of the £145.5 million funding is £9.379 million. Scottish Government have indicated that they will consider mitigations presented by councils for reducing teacher numbers, but we will not know if mitigations will be acceptable until much later in the year. 4.4. The Scottish Government have responded to communication from Council officers continuing to reiterate that any mitigations would be considered on a case-by-case basis, but they will not be in a position to agree any mitigations in advance of the teacher number census publication (December 2024). This position was reiterated 4 31
Page 32
by Scottish Government officials at a meeting with Council officers on 27 August 2024. At the meeting, officers explained the Council’s various mitigations in detail, and undertook to provide these in writing to the Scottish Government to provide context to the census information when this is complete. 4.5. Employers Pension Contribution Increase (Teachers): As advised previously, on 1 April 2024, the Council’s pension contribution for Teachers’ Pensions was increased from 23% to 26% of basic pay. The cost to the Council is an estimated £5.5 million however, the Council has not yet been notified of funding to support this increase. That said, the Scottish Government expect to receive funding for this from the UK Government and have committed to passing this on to councils. 5. Housing Revenue Account Position 5.1. As at 9 August 2024, Appendix 2 of the report shows a projected break-even position on the Housing Revenue Account for financial year 2024/2025. 6. Employee Implications 6.1. None. 7. Financial Implications 7.1. As detailed in sections 4 to 5 of the report. 8. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications 8.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability, or the environment in terms of the information contained in this report. 9. Other Implications 9.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an overspend. The risk has been assessed as low given the detailed budget management applied across the Resources. The risk is managed through four weekly Budget Monitoring Meetings at which any variance is analysed. In addition, the probable outturn exercise ensures early warning for corrective action to be taken where appropriate. 9.2. There are no implications for sustainability in terms of the information contained in this report. 10. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements 10.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a change to an existing policy, function, or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is required. 10.2. There is also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the information contained in this report.
