2.1

2.2

Members will mall that the base estimates for 1998/99 were submitted to the meeting ofthe Policy & Resources Committee held on the 9 December 1997. The Starting point for determining next year's estimates was the 1997/98 approved budget adjusted to remove those items of expenditure fahg outwith the Department's control i.e. central services costs, capital financing costs, interest on revenue balances and specific grants. Apart h central d c e costs all others have now been co- and are included within the current service provision adjustments (CSPs). In relating capital financii costs the Code of Practice on Capital Accounbng requires a capital charge to be made to departmental accounfs thereby replacing the previous historic loan debt charges. The capital charge now applied equates to anotional rent basedon the usage of cuuncil assets. Central service costs will be apportioned to Clepartmental budgets following the approval of the Central Service Departments' budgets.

Included within these base estimates was CSP adjustments to take account of such items as:-

- - - -

the 111 year effed of the 1997/98 pay award salary increments due on the 1 April 1998 a M e r increase in employers superannuation contributions savings h m restamg staffbudget in line with actual placements

3. Further CSP Adiustments

3.1 Since then, however, M e r adjustments have been necessary as new and updated information became andable on for example Government specific grants, capital charges as mentioned in the previous paragraph and minimum budget re-alignments where appropriate. A revised CSP adjustment report is included at appendix 1 1.

3.2 No allowance has yet been included for a possible pay a w d in 1998/99 which should be rekd to the Council for consideration. 1

4.1 My report to the Finance Committee meebng of the 29 January 1998 advised the Council of the capping limit for the forthcoming year and the requirement to implement savings of approximately f19m. ?he Department has been requested to bring forward proposals which will contribute to the overall savings requirement. These proposals includmg those recommended for acceptance, following a review of Department’s Service Plans, are contained at Appendix IV.

4.2 The Council may wish also to consider corporate savings arising from appropriate efficiency measures in which event a proportion may require to be incorporated into the Chief Executive’s estimates.

2.1 Members will recall that the base estimatcS for 199889 were submitted to the meeting of the Policy & Resources Committee held on the 9 Dcccmber 1997.

Apart from central service costs all others have now been confinned and are included within the c m t service provision adjustments (CSP's). In relating capital hancing costs the Code of Practice on Capital Accounting requires o capital charge to be made to departmental accounts thereby replacing the previous historic loan debt charges. The capital charge now applied equatestoanotional rent based on the usage of council assets. Central service costs will be apportioned to departmental budgets following the approval of the Central Service Departments' budgets.

2.2 Included within these base estimates iias CSP adjustments to take account of such items as:-

- - -

3.1 Since then, however, krther adjustments have been necessary as new and updated information became available on for example recognition of the Scottish Office inflation allowances, Government specific grants, capital charges as mentioned in the previous paragraph and minimum budget re-alignments where appropriate. A revised CSP adjustment report is included at appendix II.

2 The Council, in 1996, submitted a bid for Programme for Partnership funding to the Scottish Office. The Programme for Partnership is the latest development of the Urban Programme and for North Lanarkshire Council this consists of Motherwell North Priority Partnership Area and a Council wide Regeneration Programme.

It is intended that Programme for Partnership will eventually replace the original Urban Programme structure, that is once all existing projects have reached their termination date. Therefore, the increase in allocation is intended to partly offset the reductions caused by terminating projects under the original Urban Aid funding arrangements.

The increase in allocation to Motherwell North PPA and the Regeneration Programme is detailed below.

2.1 Motherwell North PPA - Increase in Scottish Office Allocation
