ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL COUNCIL FINANCIAL SERVICES 22 FEBRUARY 2024 REVENUE BUDGET 2024-25 FEES AND CHARGES 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report provides Members with information in relation to fees and charges for 2024-25. 1.2 The Council raises fees and charges for a number of services it delivers, and a review of the level of fees and charges is carried out each year. 1.3 The general increase to fees and charges is proposed at 6% for 2024-25. A 6% increase was applied in 2023-24 following a 3% increase each year between 2017-18 and 2022-23. 1.4 There are some exceptions to the general inflationary increase which are outlined within the report at paragraph 3.2.2. There are also charges where no inflationary increase has been applied, noted in paragraph 3.6 and charges where the rate is set by others, noted in paragraph 3.7. All fees and charges are included within the attached schedule of charges. The total of the general inflationary increase plus the exceptions would equate to additional income of £0.385m. 1.5 Harbour Fees have been increased by 3%. This 3% increase is ring fenced to fund asset improvement and sustainability within the piers and harbours. This is estimated to generate additional income of £0.279m. No general inflationary increase has been proposed for piers and harbours dues in order that the service is cost neutral. 1.6 New fees and charges which are being introduced for 2024-25 are itemised in section 4. • Nursing Care Provision • Residential Care Provision at Kintyre Care Centre • Ferry Services o Jura Ferry (vehicles > 5.01m) o Cuan and Jura Ferry – vehicle charges inclusive of driver 1.7 All fees and charges are included within the attached schedule of charges.

ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL COUNCIL FINANCIAL SERVICES 22 FEBRUARY 2024 REVENUE BUDGET 2024-25 FEES AND CHARGES 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 This report provides Members with information in relation to fees and charges for 2024-25. 3. DETAIL 3.1 The Council raises fees and charges for a number of services it delivers, and a review of the level of fees and charges is carried out each year. Appendix 1 to this report contains the full list of fees and charges for each service and the following paragraphs summarise the main changes. 3.2 General Inflationary Increase 3.2.1 The general increase to fees and charges is proposed at 6% for 2024-25. A 6% increase was applied in 2023-24 following a 3% increase each year between 2017-18 and 2022-23. In some cases, fees and charges are rounded up or down and that gives a variation from the simple 6%. For some smaller charges, the rounding effect may mean that the charge remains the same. 3.2.2 There are a few exceptions to the standard inflationary increases and these are noted in the table below: Description Increase Reason for Increase Local Authority Residential Care Provision (Community Care) Weekly charge 3% Charge has been right-sized to reflect budgeted costs. Non - Residential Services – excluding Sleepover Service 9% Rate increase reflects anticipated change in base to match Scottish Living Wage (SLW) which is a Scottish Government requirement from 2018/19 onwards as well as the impact of inflation on non- payroll costs. Local Authority Residential Care Provision (Children & Families) 1%-5% Charge has been right-sized per unit to reflect budgeted costs. Civic Government Licensing 18% Per triennial review, fees set for 3 years and reflect the increased cost of providing

this service. Note fees last increased in 2021. See Appendix 2 for more detail. Electric Vehicle Charging per Kwh 67% Charge has been increased to reflect increasing asset management costs. Additional income will be ring fenced within the service area to cover ongoing costs. This increase brings charges in line with the majority of other Local Authorities and closer to the rate charged by private providers. Given the increasing costs likely to come forward to manage this asset group, a delegation to Officers to have authority to vary the fees in-year if necessary is being sought. Cuan Ferry Commercial Vehicle / Coaches 27%- 197% Charges have been right-sized to reflect proportion of deck space used by the vehicle. Jura Ferry Passenger Fares 9%-17% Charges have been aligned with those of the Lismore Ferry Passenger Fares. The highest percentage increase of 17% relates to a Child Single Fare which would increase 20p from £1.20 to £1.40. Cinema Licence -19% Charges reduced in line with cap noted in the Cinemas Act 1985. 3.2.3 The total impact of the general inflationary increases and those in the table above equates to an increase in income of £0.385m. 3.3 Piers and Harbours 3.3.1 Harbour Fees have been increased by 3%. This 3% increase is ring fenced to fund asset improvement and sustainability within the piers and harbours. This is estimated to generate additional income of £0.279m. No general inflationary increase has been proposed for piers and harbours dues in order that the service is cost neutral. 3.4 Civic Government Licensing 3.4.1 The Civic Government Licensing triennial review of fees and charges was presented to and recommended by the Planning, Protective Services and Licensing Committee at its meeting on 24 January 2024. The proposed fees represent a 5% to 6.91% year on year increase (over the 3 year period) and will be in place until June 2027. 3.5 Social Work Charges 3.5.1 The 2024-25 Social Work Fees and Charges schedule was presented to and endorsed by the IJB at its meeting on 31 January 2024. All Social Work fees and charges are included within the attached schedule of charges. These include new fees and charges for Local Authority Residential Care Provision at Kintyre
Page 4
Care Centre (Community Care) Weekly Charge and Local Authority Nursing Care Provision (Community Care) Weekly Charge following the purchase of Kintyre Care Centre which is the only Local Authority owned Care Home which provides Nursing Care services. There are no other changes proposed to the Social Work charging policies for 2024-25. 3.6 No Inflationary Increase 3.6.1 There are a number of fees where no inflationary increase has been applied. These are: • Funeral Service Charges – these were new charges introduced in 2023-24 and are still an emerging service provision. As such it is proposed that the charges will not be inflated for 2024-25. • Homeless Temporary Accommodation – only the service charge is subject to inflation because the rate is linked to the Local Housing Allowance to keep them affordable. • Public Convenience entrance fee – these are only reviewed periodically and no increase is proposed in 2024-25. The Council previously decided to raise the fee from 30p to 50p in line with other chargeable publically accessible toilets across Scotland, at the same time as agreeing a project to reinstate defunct charging infrastructure at some sites and introduce charges at new sites. The works to install the charging infrastructure were delayed and only implemented late in 2023-24 therefore it is felt that since the ‘’new’’ charge of 50p was only recently implemented due to the lack of charging infrastructure it would be unreasonable to increase the charge at this time. • Parking – as per recommendation in the Council’s review of TRO arrangements. Argyll and Bute Council are currently carrying out a review of Roads and Infrastructure Services and as such no inflation has been applied to these charges pending the review findings. • Hermitage Park Pavilion Community Room (Commercial Rate) – charges realigned with Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre room hire Commercial Rates • School meals income (refer to paragraph 3.6.2 to 3.6.3) 3.6.2 3.6.3 Members are asked to consider a recommendation from officers that the charges for school meals are not increased in 2024/25 (these also were not increased in 2023/24). The recommendation is based on the factors noted in paragraph 3.6.3 below. There are non-financial factors which officers have taken into account in their assessment which they consider outweigh the financial benefits to the Council from an increase in the school meals charges which are: • The financial impact on families of additional school lunch costs would compound the financial difficulties which many families are already having to cope with in the current cost of living crisis. Families may opt to continue to buy the more expensive meals and look at other areas of their expenditure to cut back on to balance their household budgets or they might seek alternative lower cost, less healthy and less nutritional meal

options elsewhere. Both options are highly likely to be detrimental to the overall health and wellbeing of pupils and their families. There is also a risk of increased school meal debt, for which the Scottish Government has recently announced one off funding in recognition of the current cost of living crisis and impact on families; and • The Council has a statutory duty under the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 to promote nutrition with school meals provision being a key element of the Council’s efforts to ensure that all children have at least one nutritious meal per day. Local research on demand modelling shows that an increase in school meal charges will most likely reduce demand and therefore uptake of school meals. The result would be fewer children having a nutritious school meal which would be counterproductive to the Council satisfying its statutory obligation. 3.7 Fees set by Others 3.7.1 There are also a number of services where the charges are advised by others and therefore, at present, have not been inflated or an estimated inflation rate has been applied: • Registrars Fees - these are set by the Registrar General and the last fees were set in May 2022. • Removal of abandoned car – this charge is set by legislation. • Petrol Storage Certificate • Explosives/Fireworks License and Registration • Private Water Supplies • Landfill Tax • Roads Inspection charges, set by Roads Authority and Utility Committee (Scotland). • Penalty Charges notices set by the Scottish Government. • Private Landlord Registration Fees set by the Scottish Government. • Inter-Authority Substitute Family Care Placements • Blue Badges 4.

CONCLUSION 6.1 The general inflationary increase would equate to additional income of £0.385m in 2024-25. All other fee increases agreed as part of previous budgets have been accounted for within the base budget or as part of the previously agreed savings amount. 6.2 The 3% increase applied to fees and charges in respect of Piers & Harbours to fund the Asset Management plan would equate to an additional £0.279m. 7. IMPLICATIONS 7.1 Policy – Outlines the proposed increases to fees and charges for 2024-25. 7.2 Financial - The annual adjustment to fees and charges ensures that charges remain relevant to service costs which enables the Council to maintain proportionate income levels in order to sustain services. 7.3 Legal – None. 7.4 HR – None. 7.5 Fairer Scotland Duty: See below 7.5.1 Equalities –The proposed changes apply equally to everyone who receives a service which the Council will continue to charge for. Therefore there are no anticipated adverse equality issues arising from this report. 7.5.2 Socio-Economic Duty - Mainly inflationary increases therefore limited impact. 7.5.3 Islands Duty - Mainly inflationary increases therefore limited impact. 7.6 Climate Change – None 7.7 Risk – Minimal risk. 7.8 Customer Service - Minimal risk in respect of the inflationary increases. 7.9 The Rights of the Child (UNCRC) - None Kirsty Flanagan - Section 95 Officer 6 February 2024 Policy Lead for Finance and Commercial Services - Councillor Gary Mulvaney

ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL PLANNING, PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND LICENSING COMMITTEE LEGAL AND REGULATORY SUPPORT 24 JANUARY 2024 CIVIC GOVERNMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 1982 - LICENSING FEES IN PREPARATION FOR LICENCE RENEWALS 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The purpose of this report is to update members on preparations for the renewal of licences granted under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, as well as inviting members to approve the revision of the respective fees and conditions which apply to these licences. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 PPSL Members are asked to note and approve the contents of this report. 2.2 PPSL Members are asked to recommend to Council that fees for all Civic Government licences be increased as detailed in Appendix 1. 2.3 PPSL Members are asked to recommend to Council that licences currently subject to a fixed three year period and due for renewal in June 2024 continue to be granted on that basis.

1. SUMMARY 1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise members on various issues in relation to Civic Government Licensing. 1.2 Section 12 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 provides that the Council must seek to ensure that fees it charges in respect of taxi and private hire car licences and applications are sufficient to meet the expenses it incurs in carrying out its functions in relation to those licences. Paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the 1982 Act also seeks to ensure that all fees received are sufficient to meet the Council’s expenses incurred in exercising their business under Part 1, Part 2 and Schedule 1 of the 1982 Act. Members are now invited to consider the issue of licence fees in anticipation of the new three year renewal period beginning in June 2024. 1.3 The majority of licences (approximately 500) fall due for renewal at the end of June 2024. This report details the position in relation to the renewals of those licences. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 PPSL Members are asked to note and approve to note the contents of this report. 2.2 PPSL Members are asked to recommend to Council that fees for all Civic Government licences be increased as detailed in Appendix 1. 2.3 PPSL Members are asked to recommend to Council that licences currently subject to a fixed three year period and due for renewal in June 2024 continue to be granted on that basis. 3. LICENSING FEES 3.1 At the meeting of the PPSL Committee on 21st March 2018, it was agreed that licences continue to be granted for a three year period for the licences due for renewal in June 2018. It is proposed that this continues in line with ongoing three yearly renewals.

Page 60
3.2 As the June 2024 renewal period is approaching, a proposed list of fees are contained in Appendix 1. These proposed new fees represent a 5 to 6.91% year on year increase in line with salary increases from 2021 on all of the fees currently charged. This increase is proposed as Civic Government Licensing Fees have not risen since June 2021, and any new fees will be set until June 2027. A review of the net cost of the licensing function has also confirmed that the increase is required to ensure this element is cost neutral. Members are invited to approve the proposed list of new fees. 3.3 It should be noted that taxi driver licences, private hire car driver licenses, booking office licenses and skin piercing and tattoo operator licenses do not fall within the fixed three year renewal period but are granted for a period of three years from the date of grant of the licence. 4. PREPARATION FOR LICENCE RENEWALS 4.1 It is proposed that reminder letters will be issued to all licence holders once the application fees have been confirmed. Licence holders will be asked to lodge their applications for renewal as soon as possible. A copy of the reminder letter is attached as Appendix 2. Applications will be dealt with in the order that they are received. 4.2 Applicants will be advised of the provisions of Paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 to the 1982 Act which provides that if an application is made for the renewal of a licence before its expiry, the existing licence shall continue to have effect until the application for renewal has been determined. 4.3 Consultation will take place with Police Scotland and Environmental Services in relation to the renewal process. 4.4 Members should note that it is intended to utilise staff who have had previous experience of Civic Government Licensing to assist in the renewal process. 4.5 Applications for renewal of licences are not advertised at the Area Offices. There is still however the 28 day period where objections/representations can be lodged and no application for renewal can be granted prior to the expiry of that period. Therefore, if an application for renewal is received on the 30th June 2024, the earliest possible date that it can be dealt with is 29th July 2024 if all the paperwork has been provided by the applicant, no objections/representations have been made and all relevant responses have been received. 4.6 All applications are inserted in a register which is available online for public inspection. By virtue of Paragraph 14 of Schedule 1 to the 1982 Act, the Licensing Authority requires to keep a register of
Page 61
all applicants for licences under the Act. It also requires that as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of each application, details of such receipt and details of the final decision of each application may be entered into the register. 4.7 The register must include a note of the type and terms of each licence granted by the Licensing Authority; and a note of any suspension, variation of terms or surrender of a licence. 4.8 The register requires to be open for public inspection at such reasonable times and places as may be determined by the Licensing Authority. The register for Argyll and Bute has been maintained online since 1st April 2015. 4.9 The application forms for all Civic Government licences will also be amended to include a statement which advises the applicant of the Council’s participation in the National Fraud Initiative and that information about licences granted will be shared with other agencies for the purpose of preventing fraud. 4.10 Furthermore, the privacy statement on all application forms has been reviewed and revised by Council officers in light of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations. 5. CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Once the new licensing fees have been approved the renewal notices will be issued. 5.2 Continuing with the three year renewal period is fair to all licence holders. Issuing reminder letters to current licence holders advising of the status of their existing licence during the period their application is being dealt with will clarify the position. 6. IMPLICATIONS 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5. Policy: No changes are proposed at this time. Financial: Financial implication are set out in the report. Legal: The Council will require to implement any legislative changes set out in the report as and when they come into force. HR: None.

Argyll and Bute Council Comhairle Earra Ghàidheal agus Bhòid Executive Director: Douglas Hendry Dear Sir/Madam, CIVIC GOVERNMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 1982 – RENEWAL OF A LICENCE I note from my records that your licence is due for renewal on 30 June 2024. I therefore enclose the appropriate application form. Please arrange for the completed form, with the necessary supporting documents and the application fee to be returned prior to 30 June 2024. This can be done in the following ways: 1. By post to the Licensing Section, Legal & Regulatory Support, Argyll & Bute Council, Kilmory, Lochgilphead, PA31 8RT. 2. In person at any one of the following offices (opening hours Monday to Friday 9am to 12pm): Burnet Building, St John Street, Campbeltown Ellis Lodge, 5 Argyll Road, Dunoon Helensburgh & Lomond Civic Centre, 38 East Clyde Street, Helensburgh Kilmory, Lochgilphead Municipal Buildings, Albany Street, Oban 37 Victoria Street, Rothesay Breadalbane Street, Tobermory, Isle of Mull Tiree Business Centre, Crossapol, Isle of Tiree Islay Servicepoint, Jamieson Street, Bowmore, Islay 3. By submitting your application online. This can be done by visiting the Council’s website at www.argyll-bute.gov.uk and going to the ‘Law and Licensing’ section. Please note, that in the case of online submissions, some supporting documentation can be uploaded. Licensees are asked to lodge applications as soon as possible to assist with the efficient processing of applications. I would advise that in terms of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, provided an application for renewal of a licence is made before it expires, the existing licence continues to have effect until the Legal & Regulatory Support Kilmory, Lochgilphead PA31 8RT Tel: 01546 604128 Fax: 01546 604373 DX No: 599700 LOCHGILPHEAD e-mail: licensing@argyll-bute.gov.uk Website: www.argyll-bute.gov.uk Our Ref: [XXXX] Date: [as postmark] Appendix 2
Page 65
licence is renewed or granted or an appeal against the refusal of the application has been either abandoned or determined. I would also advise that all competent applications will take a minimum of 35 days to process from submission as there is a 28 day period in terms of the 1982 Act during which objections or representations may be made, and during which no application can therefore be granted. Any application received after 30 June 2023 cannot be dealt with by way of renewal unless good cause is shown in which case a licensing authority may deem an application made up to 28 days after the expiry date of the licence to be an application made before the expiry of said licence. It is likely that good cause could only arise in circumstances which were beyond the control of the applicant. I would advise that you require to display the enclosed notice duly completed for a period of 21 days from the date that you submit your application to the Council at or near the premises/site so that it can be conveniently read by the public. Once the notice has been displayed for the 21 days you must complete the enclosed Certificate of Compliance and return it to the Licensing Section. Please note that your application cannot be finally dealt with until this certificate has been received. If you have any queries in relation to the renewal process please email licensing@argyll-bute.gov.uk or phone 01546 604128. I look forward to receiving your application and would thank you in advance for your assistance in lodging your application as early as possible. Yours faithfully, DAVID LOGAN Head of Legal & Regulatory Support
