General Fund Revenue Budget 2012/13 to 2016/17 - CG/11/152
Minutes:
With reference to Article 14 of the minute of meeting of the Finance and Resources Committee of 6th December 2011, the Council had before it, by way of remit, a report by the Director of Corporate Governance which provided information to enable a balanced budget to be set for 2012/13 and subsequently a capital programme for 2012/13 to 2016/17.
The report recommended:-
that the Finance and Resources Committee -
(a) note the content of the report and refer it to Council with any recommendations on service options;
(b) agree that the service options be prioritised; and
(c) agree that elected members provide officers with their full budget proposals by 8th February 2012.
And that Council on 14th December 2011 -
(a) agree the service options to be implemented for 2012/13 and future years to achieve a balanced budget taking account of growth pressures and feedback obtained as part of the ongoing Priority Based Budgeting process (as detailed in Appendix 1 to the report);
(b) agree the budget for each service detailed in Appendix 2 to the report;
(c) agree the level of Council Tax for the financial year 2012/13 and indicative level to 2016/17;
(d) agree the recommendation of the Head of Finance to retain working balances of 2.5% or approximately £11.5million; and
(e) agree that the capital programme be set such that no capital borrowing is undertaken and that the programme be set in line with the level of capital grant, capital receipts and contributions.
The Finance and Resources Committee had resolved:-
to agree to forward the proposals as contained below as the Administration’s recommendations, to the meeting of Council of 14th December 2011 with the following two amendments (1) to move option EPI_AMO29 (item 23 - introduction of charges to residents for Garthdee CPZ (Trading)) from the ‘recommended for rejection’ section to the ‘recommended for further information’ section; and (2) to move option ACC_S08 (item 94 - corporate bond issue) from the ‘recommended for rejection’ section to the ‘recommended for further information’ section.

Councillor McCaig, seconded by Councillor Malone:-
That the decision of the Finance and Resources Committee be approved.
Councillor Boulton moved as an amendment, seconded by Councillor Farquharson:-
That Council approve the circulated service options for the 2012/13 General Fund Revenue Budget and indicative figures for future years, which includes:-
1. A new option to reduce the level of funding to ACSEF but continue to support, in conjunction with Aberdeenshire, a funded post;
2. An amended option to close public toilets whereby the toilets at Footdee and the beach remain open; and
3. An amended option for the provision of school crossing patrols where vacancy management and lunch time arrangements are reviewed.
Officers are further requested to bring forward additional information as indicated in the proposals as well as a paper (as already agreed by the Finance and Resources Committee) on the future funding mechanisms for capital investment which should include identifying sources of allowing the Council to help developers with upfront costs for new developments and should include the use of a Corporate Bond issue.
