2 Minutes of Previous Meeting 
The minutes of the meeting of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum held on 9 February 2023
were submitted for approval as a correct record. 
The Forum decided: that the minutes be approved as a correct record. 
3a Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – General Fund Capital Programme 
A report dated 20 February 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the position of the General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023 for the period
1 April 2022 to 27 January 2023. 
The revised General Fund Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totalled £78.396 million, as
detailed in Appendix B to the report.  This included new adjustments to the programme agreed
by the Executive Committee on 1 March 2023, totalling £0.124 million, as detailed in Appendix A
to the report.  Those adjustments mainly reflected additional funding for new Roads projects. 
As reported in Period 10, the predicted spend position for the General Services Capital
Programme for 2022/2023 and current estimates from Resources suggested an outturn of £73
million.  This would leave an underspend across Resources of £5.3 million against the revised
budget of £78.396 million.  This was made up of project underspends totalling £9.7 million, offset
by projects with greater than anticipated spend of £4.4 million. 
The majority of variance was due to the timing of spend, resulting in budget being required in
2023/2024 rather than 2022/2023.  Funding for projects that remained as underspend at the
2
3

Page 4

financial year-end would be carried forward to allow the projects to be completed in 2023/2024.   
Again, this was a timing issue and funding for the overall spend on those projects had already
been identified into next year. 
A list of the main projects which were responsible for the overall underspend of £9.7 million, and
would now complete in 2023/2024, were detailed in Appendix E to the report. 
The programme spend and funding for the General Fund was summarised in Appendix D of the
report. 
Budget for the period was £38.915 million and spend to 27 January 2023 was £39.540 million,
an overspend of £0.625 million.  Actual funding received to 27 January 2023 was £68.848
million. 
The physical progress achieved with the General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023 at 27
January 2023 was detailed in appendices F to H to the report. 
The Head of Finance (Strategy) responded to members’ questions on various aspects of the
report. 
The Forum decided: that the position on the General Fund Capital Programme
as at 27 January 2023 be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 9 February 2023 (Paragraph 3a) and Minutes of the Executive
Committee of 1 March 2023 (Paragraph 4)] 
3b Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – Housing Capital Programme 
A report dated 20 February 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the position of the Housing Capital Programme 2022/2023 for the period 1
April 2022 to 27 January 2023 (Period 11). 
The revised Housing Capital Programme for 2022/2023 totalled £66.361 million.  Budget for the
period was £45.339 million and spend to 27 January 2023 was £43.015 million, which
represented an underspend of £2.324 million, as detailed in Appendix A to the report.  Actual
funding received at 27 January 2023 was £43.015 million. 
Current estimates from Housing and Technical Resources suggested an outturn of an
underspend of £4.1 million which was mainly due to the extreme weather experienced in
December 2022, which meant that operatives were diverted away from capital investment to
tackle urgent repairs. 
The physical progress achieved with the Housing Capital Programme 2022/2023 at 27 January
2023 was detailed in Appendix B to the report. 
The Council continued to experience material shortages, longer lead times and extraordinary
inflationary price increases and it was anticipated that this would continue to impact the supply
chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this would continue to be monitored and updates
provided to this Forum. 
Any significant increases in contract values for the Housing Capital Programme would be
brought to members’ attention. 
The Forum decided: that the position on the Housing Capital Programme as at
27 January 2023 be noted.

4 Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 and Probable Outturn 
A report dated 16 February 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted on the overall financial position of the Council’s General Fund Revenue Account
and the Housing Revenue Account for the period 1 April to 27 January 2023 (Period 11), along
with a projection for the year to 31 March 2023. 
The report:- 
 summarised the previously reported probable outturn position for the Council’s General
Fund Revenue Account to 31 March 2023
 provided details on the probable outturn position for the Housing Revenue Account to 31
March 2023
 provided details of the position of the General Fund Revenue Account and the Housing
Revenue Account to the 27 January 2023 respectively 
As reported previously, the 2022/2023 probable outturn position for the General Services
presented an underspend of £4.696 million.  At its meeting on 1 February 2023, the Executive
Committee agreed the proposed transfers to reserves and the use of the £4.696 million
underspend to assist in the 2023/2024 Budget Strategy.  The forecast position before and after
transfer to reserves was detailed in appendices 1 and 2 of the report. The position presented in
Appendix 2 included the underspend of £4.696 million as a transfer to reserves.  This resulted in
a break-even position for the 2022/2023 probable outturn. 
At 27 January 2023, the position on the General Fund Revenue Account, after transfers to
reserves, was an underspend of £0.355 million.   
The figures showed a breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account at 27 January 2023. 
The forecast to 31 March 2023 on the Housing Revenue Account was a breakeven position. 
The Forum decided: 
(1) that it be noted that the Council’s outturn position was breakeven after transfers to
reserves, as detailed in section 4.2 of the report; 
(2) that the underspend position of £0.355 million on the General Fund Revenue Account as
at 27 January 2023 after transfers to reserves, as detailed in section 5.1 of the report, be
noted; and 
(3) that the breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account as at 27 January 2023 and
the forecast to 31 March 2023 of breakeven, as detailed in sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the
report, be noted. 
[Reference: Minutes of 9 February 2023 (Paragraph 4) and Minutes of the Executive Committee
of 1 March 2023 (Paragraph 3)] 
5 Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 – Detailed Resource Analysis 
A report dated 16 February 2023 by the Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)
was submitted comparing actual expenditure against budgeted expenditure for the period 1 April
to 27 January 2023 (Period 11). 
Appendices A to F to the report provided the following information for each Resource and the
Housing Revenue Account:- 
 an Executive Summary showing the top level position for each of the Services within the
Resource and the Housing Revenue Account as at 27 January 2023
 details of the most significant variances within Resources and the Housing Revenue
Account across subjective headings and across Services as at 27 January 2023
5

Page 6

 a line by line trend analysis of the total Resources’ expenditure and income across
subjective headings as at 27 January 2023 
The Forum decided: that the position as at 27 January 2023 (Period 11) be
noted.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 27 April 2023
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 - General Fund
Capital Programme 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 update members of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum of progress on the
Council’s General Fund Capital Programme for the period covering 1 April 2022
to 24 February 2023.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation:
[recs]
(1) that the physical and financial progress of the 2022/2023 General Fund
Capital Programme be noted. 
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. The Capital reports attached provide detail on the position as at 24 February 2023
from both a financial and physical perspective.   
3.2. Appendices A to E show the financial position of the General Fund Capital
Programme, with the physical progress detailed in Appendices F to H – as they are
split into Build, Non Build and Roads.  Projects which were reported as behind
programme last period have now been re-profiled based on the revised completion
dates.   
4. General Fund Capital Programme 2022/2023
4.1. 2022/23 Budget: The revised programme for the General Fund is £78.396 million,
as shown in Appendix B.  This revised programme consists of the base budget plus
carry forward projects and adjustments which have been agreed by the Executive
Committee up to and including its meeting on 29 March 2023.   
4.2. The total programme of £78.396 million reflects an adjustment to the programme,
which is detailed in Appendix A, and which was approved by the Executive
Committee on 29 March 2023.  The adjustment totalled £0.180 million and is
additional funding for an existing project.  Due to the timing of project spend, it is
anticipated that this funding will slip into 2023/2024 and the net impact on the
2022/2023 Capital Programme is therefore nil.   
4.3. The programme spend for the General Fund is summarised in Appendix B with a full
breakdown of expenditure across Services included in Appendix C.   
3a
7

Page 8

4.4. Programmed funding for the year also totals £78.396 million.  The funding available to
support the programme is detailed in Appendix D.   
4.5. 2022/2023 Outturn:  As reported previously, estimates from Resources suggested
an outturn of around £73 million, a net underspend across Resources of £5.3 million
against the revised budget of £78.396 million.  The majority of the variance is due to
the timing of spend, resulting in budget required in 2023/2024 rather than
2022/2023.   
4.6. As at 24 February 2023, work continues to clarify the predicted spend position for the
General Services Capital Programme for the remainder of this financial year. 
Funding for projects remaining underspent at the financial year-end will be carried
forward to allow the projects to be completed in 2023/2024.  Again, this is a timing
issue only with funding for the overall spend on these projects already identified into
next financial year.  Officers will continue to work to maximise spend in 2022/2023,
where possible.   
4.7. A list of the main projects making up the predicted £5.3 million underspend as
declared previously, and which will now complete in 2023/2024, is included in
Appendix E.  This Appendix also includes their anticipated completion dates. 
4.8. Period 12 Position:  The programme spend and funding for the General Fund is
summarised in Appendix D.  As noted in 4.1, the total capital spending programme
for the year is £78.396 million. 
4.9.  Appendix D also shows budget for the period of £46.008 million and spend to the 24
February 2023 of £45.607 million, an underspend of £0.401 million.  This is mainly
due to the timing of spend of the Roads Investment Programme (£0.970m) and City
Deal project at Greenhills Road (£0.300m), both within Community and Enterprise
Resources, being less than anticipated at this stage.  This is offset by good progress
on the Oracle Fusion project within Finance and Corporate Resources (£0.850m).         
4.10. Actual funding received to 24 February 2023 is £70.470 million.   
4.11. Relevant officers will continue to closely monitor the generation of all income
including receipts. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. There are no employee implications as a result of this report. 
6. Financial Implications
6.1. The financial implications are included in section 4 of this report. 
7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Capital Programme is an overspend. 
There are detailed project management plans prepared and the risk of overspend on
each project is monitored through four weekly investment management meetings. 
8.2. The Council continues to experience material shortages, longer lead times and
extraordinary inflationary price increases and it is anticipated that this will continue to
impact the supply chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this will continue to
8

Page 9

be monitored through the four weekly investment management meetings.  Further
updates will be reported in the coming months with any significant increases in
contract values being brought to members’ attention.   
9. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is
required. 
9.2. There was also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

APPENDIX A
Adjustments Approved by Executive Committee – 29 March 2023 
Community and Enterprise Resources 
Chatelherault Allotments
The 2022/2023 Capital Programme already includes an allocation (£0.120m) to
create allotments at the former Garden Centre site within Chatelherault Country
Park, which is now vacant.  The tender exercise is now complete and contributions
from the Food Strategy Support Fund (£0.100m) and Community and Enterprise
Resources Revenue budget (£0.080m) have been identified to augment the existing
budget allocation.  This will allow the project to progress. 
Due to the profiling of project expenditure, this element of the budget will not be
required until 2023/2024.  Approval is sought to slip this additional funding of £0.180
million into the 2023/2024 Capital Programme.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 27 April 2023
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Capital Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 - Housing Capital
Programme 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 update members of the Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum of progress on the
Council’s Housing Capital Programme for the period covering 1 April 2022 to 24
February 2023.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation:
[recs]
(1) that the physical and financial progress of the Housing Capital Programme be
noted. 
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. The Capital reports attached provide detail on the position as at 24 February 2023 from
both a financial and physical perspective.   
3.2. Appendix A shows the financial position of the Housing Capital Programme, with the
physical progress detailed in Appendix B. 
4. 2022/2023 Housing Capital Programme 
4.1. 2022/2023 Budget:  The revised Housing Capital Programme for the year is £66.361
million reflecting changes to the programme approved by the Executive Committee on
24 August 2022.  There have been no further changes to the budget since this meeting.   
4.2. Programmed funding for the year also totals £66.361 million.  The budget, along with a
detailed breakdown of the funding sources is included in Appendix A to this report. 
4.3. 2022/2023 Outturn:  Revised estimates from Housing and Technical Resources
suggest there will now be an underspend of £8.039 million within the Housing Capital
Programme by the end of the financial year.  This is an increase of £3.9 million on the
underspend reported last period.  As advised previously, the underspend is mainly due
to a number of factors, including operatives from Property Services being diverted away
from capital investment to tackle urgent flooding damage, delays in external fabric
projects due to the suspected presence of bats, reduced owner uptake for external
works and higher than normal volumes of no access for legislative works. 
4.4. The projected underspend above also now includes the impact of an expected delay to
the completion of the Kirk Street, Strathaven New Build Development.  This
development was due to be handed to the Council in March 2023 but was delayed due
3b
27

Page 28

to circumstances out with the Council’s control.  This is now planned to complete in April
2023 and spend of £2.9 million on that project will fall into the new year.  
4.5. Work to monitor achievable spend will continue as we approach the end of the financial
year. Funding for projects remaining underspend at the financial year-end will be carried
forward to allow the projects to be completed in 2023/2024. 
4.6. Period 12 Position:  Budget for the period is £50.039 million and spend to 24 February
2023 amounts to £46.245 million, an underspend of £3.794 million and this mainly
reflects the issues detailed in Sections 4.3-4.4 above. 
4.7. As at 24 February 2023, £46.245 million of funding had been received. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. There are no employee implications as a result of this report. 
6. Financial Implications 
6.1. The financial implications are detailed in section 4 of this report. 
7. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
7.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in terms
of the information contained in this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Capital Programme is an overspend.  There
are detailed project management plans prepared and the risk of overspend on each
project is monitored through four weekly investment management meetings. 
8.2. The Council continues to experience material shortages, longer lead times and
extraordinary inflationary price increases and it is anticipated that this will continue to
impact the supply chain for the foreseeable future.  The impact of this will continue to be
monitored through the four weekly investment management meetings.  Further updates
will be reported in the coming months with any significant increases in contract values
being brought to members’ attention.   
9. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
9.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment is
required. 
9.2. There was also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the information
contained in this report.

Build Variance Explanations 
Project Name Status Variance Explanation   
Blairbeth and Spittal Estate –
External Fabric Upgrade and
Balcony Work  
Behind Programme This project is behind
schedule as a result of the
balcony element of the fabric
works having to be re-
surveyed due to deterioration
since the initial assessment. 
This will allow us to consult
again with owners to get their
agreement. 
Loft and Cavity Wall
Insulation
Behind Programme This project is behind
schedule as a result of
issues in obtaining access to
properties.   
New Build Acquisition - Kirk
Street, Strathaven
Behind Programme This project is behind
schedule due to the
handover date for this new
build development being
delayed from March to April
2023.  This delay was due to
circumstances out with the

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Financial Resources Scrutiny Forum
Date of Meeting: 27 April 2023
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Revenue Budget Monitoring 2022/2023 and Probable
Outturn 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 advise the Forum on the overall financial position of the Council’s General Fund
Revenue Account and Housing Revenue Account for the period 1 April 2022 to
24 February 2023.
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Forum is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):
[recs]
(1) that the Council’s outturn position is break-even after Transfers to Reserves
(section 4.2), be noted;
(2) that the underspend position of £1.875 million on the General Fund Revenue
Account as at 24 February 2023, after transfers to reserves (section 5.1) and
including an underspend of £0.165 million on the delegated budget to the
Integration Joint Board (section 5.2), be noted; and
(3) that the breakeven position on the Housing Revenue Account at 24 February
2023 and the forecast to 31 March 2023 of breakeven (sections 6.1 and 6.2),
be noted. 
3. Background
3.1. The Revenue reports attached provide detail on the most recent report considered at
the Executive Committee on 29 March 2023. 
3.2. This overview report will summarise the previously reported Probable Outturn
position for the Council’s General Fund Revenue Account to 31 March 2023 (section
4).  Sections 5 and 6 provide the position on the General Fund Account and the
Housing Revenue Account for the current period 1 April 2022 to 24 February 2023
respectively.   
4. 2022/2023 General Services Probable Outturn 
4.1. As reported previously, the 2022/2023 probable outturn position for the General
Services presented an underspend of £4.696 million.  This underspend was after
previously approved transfers of £17.420 million earmarked for the Budget Strategy,
and new proposed transfers to reserves totalling £17.195 million.  It was also proposed
that outturn underspend of £4.696 million be transferred to reserves to assist in the
2023/2024 Budget Strategy.

35

Page 36

4.2. The Executive Committee (1 February 2023) approved the new proposed transfers
to Reserves and the use of the £4.696 million Probable Outturn underspend to assist
in the 2023/2024 Budget Strategy.  Full details of the transfers to reserves were
included in the same report.  The forecast position before and after Transfers to
Reserves is shown in Appendices 1 and 2 respectively.  The break-even position
presented in Appendix 2 includes the Probable Outturn underspend of £4.696 million
as a Transfer to Reserves. 
5. 2022/2023 General Services Monitoring Position  
5.1. Financial Position as at 24 February 2023 
As at 24 February 2023, the position on the General Services budget, after Transfers
to Reserves, is an underspend of £1.875 million (Appendix 2). 
5.2. It is noted that the period 12 position for Social Work Resources is break-even. 
However, this includes an underspend on the delegated budget for Adults and Older
People (£0.165 million) which is offset by a net overspend in the other Non-Delegated
Services.  If the underspend on the delegated budget is removed from the core Council
position, then the revised core Council position as at period 12 is an underspend of
£1.710 million.   
6. Housing Revenue Account Position
6.1. Financial Position as at 24 February 2023   
Appendix 3 of the report shows a break-even position against the phased budget on
the Housing Revenue Account. This takes account of an element of the underspend
in Financing Charges, as forecast as part of the Probable Outturn exercise.  Levels
of rent collection continue to be monitored by the Housing Services team and
appropriate corrective action will be taken, as required.   
6.2. Probable Outturn Position:  Appendix 3 also shows the forecast position for the
financial year, being a break-even position for the Housing Revenue Account.   
7. Employee Implications
7.1. None. 
8. Financial Implications
8.1. As detailed in sections 4 to 6 of the report. 
9. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
9.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report. 
10. Other Implications
10.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an
overspend. Inflationary and budget pressures experienced this year increase the risk
of overspend however this is mitigated going forward through provision of additional
funds in next year’s budget strategy, and through the one-off use of reserves in the
current year.   
10.2. The actual impact will continue to be reviewed through four weekly Budget
Monitoring Meetings at which any variance is analysed. In addition, the probable
outturn exercise position in this report ensures early warning for corrective action to
be taken where appropriate.

11. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
11.1. 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.   
11.2. There is also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

4. Total Controllable Income
Rental income from council housing is higher than forecast due to favourable timing of new build and purchased units being available to rent. 
5. Transfer to (from) Balance Sheet
The net combined overspend year to date requires for a higher than budgeted level of transfer to reserves. 
6. Financing Charges
The overall level of debt charges was lower than anticipated due to the profile of funding requirements.

6. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
6.1. There are no implications for climate change, sustainability or the environment in
terms of the information contained in this report.   
7. Other Implications
7.1. The main risk associated with the Council’s Revenue Budget is that there is an

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. 
8. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements
8.1. 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.   
8.2. There is also no requirement to undertake any consultation in terms of the
information contained in this report.

The over recovery of income is
due to increase adhoc bus
service provision from Fleet
services

Roads, Transportation
and Fleet - (54k) under
recovered 
Enterprise and

over recovered 
Roads, Transportation

under recovered 
The under recovery is due to
the net effect of reduced
income from casual hire, pool
car fuel, asset modification and
MOT/Road Fund Licences
partially offset by increased
income from vehicle
maintenance within Fleet
services. 
The over recovery of income
relates to increased income
from rental properties. 
The under recovery is due to
lower than budgeted income
from pool car hires within Fleet
services which is offset by an
under spend in expenditure.
This is partially offset by a
previous year’s charge to
Hunter Health Centre recovered
through the Roads Parking
Service.

Housing and Technical Resources - HRA Variance Analysis 2022/23 (Period 12) 
Subjective Head Variance  Subjective line Service / amount Explanation
Employee Costs 266k under APT&C - Basic / Overtime /
Superannuation / National Insurance -
248k under 
HRA The variance relates to
vacancies, which are being
actively recruited or being held
whilst service requirements are
determined. 
Property Costs (3,628k)
over
Repairs and Maintenance - Internal
and External Contractor - (3,071) over 
HRA The net overspend reflects the
current demand for repairs and
continuing high cost and
volume of voids. The position
includes a recharge for
recovery of costs from
chargeable services due to
building services shortfall. 
Housing - Rent Free Accommodation
- (66k) over 
HRA The overspend reflects the
volume of discretionary rent
periods awarded during the
year, which is demand led. 
Housing - Rent W/O Unlet Periods -
(129k) over  
HRA This budget is demand led and
the overspend reflects the
current pressure in void
properties. 
Electricity / Gas / Heating Oil / Solid
Fuel – (261k) over 
HRA The overspend reflects the
current demand and price. 
Cleaning Contract - (80k) over HRA This overspend is due to
inflationary price increases.

Subjective Head Variance  Subjective line Service / amount Explanation
Administration
Costs
47k under Legal Expenses - 41k under HRA This budget is demand led and
the underspend reflects the
lower than anticipated levels of
eviction actions during the year. 
Financing Charges 755k under Interest – Debt Charges – 755k under HRA The overall level of debt charge
was lower than anticipated due
to the profile of funding
requirements. 
Income 2,572k over
recovered
House Rents - 339k over recovered  HRA  The over recovery is due to the
timing of new builds which
completed ahead of the
anticipated profiles. 
Year End Transfer to the Balance
Sheet – 2,245k over recovered 
HRA  The budget assumes a level of
transfer to reserves, however,
due to the current net
overspend across the service,
mainly as a result of the
aforementioned recovery of
costs from chargeable services
due to the building services
shortfall, the drawdown from
reserves will be higher than
forecast. 
* The underlined variances represent new variances since the last report.
