Agenda item
Business Plan 2011/12 to 2015/16 - CG/10/202
Minutes:
With reference to Article 14 of the minute of meeting of the Finance and Resources Committee of 2nd December 2010, the Council had before it, by way of remit, a report by the Director of Corporate Governance which outlined proposals for a Five Year Business Plan for the Council, for the period 2011/12 to 2015/16.
The report advised that this was a break from the traditional annual approach usually adopted in budget setting but it was considered that this approach had allowed officers the opportunity to think radically about how to deliver key services from a reduced cost base. The report highlighted a total of £150million of potential savings, with £48million of these having a risk to the Council should they be implemented. The options were presented by Service and in terms of the following categories (1) transformation options; (2) efficiency options; (3) stop/reduce options; where an option was given a number, this referred to its Council-wide priority as determined by the Corporate Management Team.
The report recommended:-
that the Finance and Resources Committee -
(a) consider the content of the report;
(b) make recommendation to the meeting of Council of 15th December 2010 in relation to the Business Plan, and specifically the transformation, efficiency and stop/reduce options outlined therein to achieve a balanced budget, taking account of any feedback from consultation; and
(c) provide guidance to Directors on further changes or service options to be explored over the coming weeks.
The Finance and Resources Committee had resolved:-
to recommend to Council that the following options, as set out below, contained within the Five Year Business Plan be progressed together with the following exceptions (1) to permit the Chief Executive to decide on management structure savings; (2) to review the alignment of Committees to the statutory minimum in 2012; (3) to reduce by 5% the remuneration for Senior Councillors, the Council Leader and the Lord Provost above the basic rate; and (4) to reduce the Fairer Scotland Fund by £750,000 not £1million and hold a community summit.

Councillor Crockett moved as a further amendment, seconded by Councillor Graham:-
That this Council opens up direct negotiations with the Edinburgh Government to ensure that this Council receives its fair share of Local Government finance, notes that per capita people living in Aberdeen get the least spent on them in the whole of Scotland, notes Glasgow receives £2,617, Dundee £2,322 and Edinburgh £1,821 per capita. Council calls upon John Swinney to honour his promise to the Council Tax payers of Aberdeen, that Aberdeen would receive a fairer settlement in 2011.
Council also calls for detailed options appraisals and the circulation of the attendant impact assessment prior to the February budget meeting and that no cuts be made prior to that work being undertaken and fully scrutinised by elected members.
At this juncture, Councillor Kevin Stewart agreed to incorporate additional parts (2) and (3) in Councillor Farquharson’s amendment, namely investigating voluntary reduction in hours and selling additional annual leave, as an addendum to his motion, and this was accepted.
