POLICY OVERVIEW
Council agrees this Budget and the Administrations priorities of: investing in our children and our schools to ensure that every young person in Edinburgh has an equal opportunity to reach their potential and that our most vulnerable and at risk children are safe, secure and thriving; supporting Edinburghs economic competitiveness, promoting growth and investment, and Edinburghs festivals, events and cultural offering to build prosperity and quality of life for all residents; transforming and improving care and protection for our increasing elderly population and our most vulnerable residents; creating a safer, cleaner, greener and more sustainable Edinburgh; and providing high-quality services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Council recognises that this Budget builds on actions supported by last years Budget which has resulted in significant achievements which include: the purchase of a potential site for a new Boroughmuir High School, the final secondary school in the Wave 3 programme to be progressed with plans for Portobello and James Gillespies both being well advanced; Edinburghs highest rise in positive school-leaver destinations since 1997; significantly increased numbers of people with high-level needs enjoying more independent living at home; the first council homes for a generation built in Edinburgh; recycling rates exceeding 31.5%; and for the second successive year, all departments delivering on or under budget in 2010/11.

Council recognises that the Scottish Government Spending Review 2011 was conducted within a financial environment of real terms reductions in the Scottish Budget until at least 2016/17, as a result of the general economic climate. Council however welcomes the Scottish Governments commitment to ensuring that no Council in Scotland receives less than 85% of the average per capita grant in Scotland, resulting in additional funding for the City of Edinburgh of 22million in 2012/13, with a similar level of funding in the following two years. This money will help the Council to support services and maintain economic growth in Scotlands capital city and will enable us to continue to transform essential services, to improve customer satisfaction and deliver ongoing efficiency savings. Council notes that this budget enables the Council to deliver the commitments agreed with the Scottish Government which will release Edinburghs full needs based

share of the Local Government Finance settlement for 2012-2015. The commitments are: a fifth successive freeze in council tax for Edinburgh residents; police officer numbers being maintained; teacher numbers being maintained in line with pupil numbers; and secure places for all probationers who require one under the teacher induction scheme.

Financial Planning and Sustainability Council recognises that this budget builds on the clear financial planning framework of this Administration and provides a firm foundation for addressing the financial challenge over the medium term. Specifically, investment is being targeted to deliver future savings and improvement in service delivery and these are expected to go a long way towards closing the financial gap in future years. Financial provision has also been made against specific risks associated with the change programme. Council agrees that this budget provides significant investment in the future of our services which is expected to lead to further savings and service improvement, and that it is therefore appropriate to apply 6million from various "usable" reserves as a means of funding this investment. Council recognises that, coupled with transformation in procurement and further rationalisation of the Council's property estate, these measures will lead to sustainable savings and help the transition to outcome based budgeting in the future. Council notes that employee costs represent 43% of Council expenditure and although it is inevitable that the savings programme will impact on staffing levels across the Council, the rigorous approach to workforce planning has minimised the

16

level of redundancy thereby reducing the cost to the Council and allaying staff uncertainty. Council recognises the ongoing financial challenges and the need to prioritise services, deliver ongoing efficiencies and improve partnership working, placing an increasing emphasis on an outcomes-based approach as recommended by the Christie Commission and endorsed by the Scottish Parliament. The Council has commenced a Priority Based Planning review which intends to provide options for prioritising spend in relation to the priority outcomes for the Council. Council notes there are significant equality benefits in the Administrations budget proposals. Council recognises that the improvements to dignity and care and improved care at home and home care services reflect the key principles of the human rights and equalities agenda. Council agrees that investment in Edinburgh Leisure and sports facilities will assist in tackling key health inequalities in the city. Council further recognises that all savings have been fully assessed for the impact on equality.

CEC/92/11-12/CG and CEC/89/11-12/CG by the Director of Corporate Governance setting out the proposals for funding services from third parties in 2012/13; Report nos. CEC/88/11-12/PS and CEC/90/11-12/CG by the Director of Corporate Governance, setting out the overall position on capital resources for the period 2012 2016.

Council approves: The revenue budget set out in the reports and the detailed departmental budget packs and resource allocations, subject to the adjustments set out in Annex 1 to this motion; The 2012-2016 capital budget as set out in reports CEC/88/11-12/PS and CEC/90/11-12/CG by the Director of Corporate Governance; A band D Council Tax of 1169 which has remained the same since 2007/08; The Council Tax and Rating resolutions as set out in Annex 2 to this motion; The schedule of charges for Council services in 2012/13 as set out in Annex 3 to this motion; The recommendations contained in report no CEC/91/11-12/SfC by the Director of Services for Communities to increase rents by 7.9%, and to invest 49million in capital improvement, in line with the previously agreed strategy for delivering the Scottish Housing Quality Standard. This will take the average weekly rent from 74.87 to 80.78, an increase of 5.91 per week; and The Prudential Indicators at Annex 4.

Further Actions Council instructs the Chief Executive to bring forward revised business cases to transform those services which were examined under the alternative business models programme, including consideration of further property rationalisation;

18

Council instructs the Chief Executive to bring forward reports which provide further detail on the application of the Change Funds for health and early years; Council instructs the Chief Executive to continue with the Priority Based Planning project and make arrangements to report to the new Council after the local elections setting out options for a five year business plan; Council instructs the Chief Executive to review the arrangements for Community Engagement which builds on the recent budget engagement events; Council instructs the Chief Executive to ensure that Directors put in place implementation plans and workforce plans for all savings contained in this motion in order to secure financial benefit as quickly as possible and to manage staffing reductions in a manner which minimises redundancy and staff severance costs; Council instructs the Chief Executive to: (i) ensure EQIA recommendations are fully integrated into all relevant savings implementation plans; (ii) continue to monitor and report the impact of savings proposals on equalities groups with particular regard to grant aid and commissioning activity; and (iii) throughout all the difficult financial challenges that lie ahead, pay due regard to the need to (a) eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation, (b) advance equality and (c) foster good community relations; Council recognises that this Administration has always sought to be an excellent employer, valuing the Councils highly motivated and competent workforce. Council further notes this Administrations determination to provide for a more equal society. Council therefore calls for a Report, by Autumn, on the implications of introducing a living wage for all City of Edinburgh Council employees; Council recognises this Administrations commitment to early years education and to ensure that this continues, calls for a report identifying 1 million for the creation of Early Years Capital Fund for 2013/14; Council agrees that the percentage of transport spend (net of specifically allocated external transport funding) allocated to cycling shall be a minimum of 5%, for both revenue and capital, in 2012/13 and that the percentage of spend on cycling will increase by 1% annually. Council therefore instructs the Director of Services for Communities to provide a report to a meeting of the TIE Committee in September each year detailing, the allocation of cycle funding, progress towards the Council's Charter of Brussels commitments, and progress on the cycle aspects of the ATAP. Conclusion Council recognises that this Budget progresses the Council Administrations clear vision for Edinburgh in a financially challenging environment where every young person has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential, our economy is buoyant,

19

the vulnerable are protected, the city is cleaner and more sustainable, and all residents share in the citys success.

The capital financing requirement measures the authoritys underlying need to borrow for a capital purpose. In accordance with best professional practice, the Council does not associate borrowing with particular items or types of expenditure. The authority has an integrated treasury management strategy and has adopted the CIPFA Code of Practice for Treasury Management in the Public Services. The Council has, at any point in time, a number of cashflows both positive and negative, and manages its treasury position in terms of its borrowings and investments in accordance with its approved treasury management strategy and practices. In day to day cash management, no distinction can be made between revenue cash and capital cash. External borrowing arises as a consequence of all the financial transactions of the authority and not simply those arising from capital spending. In contrast, the capital financing requirement reflects the authoritys underlying need to borrow for a capital purpose.

CIPFAs Prudential Code for Capital Finance in Local Authorities includes the following as a key indicator of prudence: In order to ensure that the medium term net borrowing will only be for a capital purpose, the local authority should ensure that net external borrowing does not, except in the short term, exceed the total of capital financing requirement in the preceding year plus the estimates of any additional capital financing requirement for the current next two financial years. Net External Borrowing and the Capital Financing Requirement 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 Actual Estimate Estimate Estimate Estimate Estimate 000 000 000 000 000 000 1,264,407 1,447,733 1,611,019 1,605,415 1,537,133 1,525,374 1,412,064 1,595,390 1,758,676 1,753,072 1,684,790 1,673,031 147,657 147,657 147,657 147,657 147,657 147,657

Net External Borrowing Capital Financing requirements Under Limit by:

In England and Wales the code has been updated to change the definition from Net External Borrowing to Net External Debt thus allowing the liabilities for PFI Finance Leases to be compared against the capital financing requirement which includes the advances and repayments relating to PFI assets. In Scotland, the code does not statutorily require authorities to include PFI Finance Lease liabilities within Net External Borrowing but it is considered best practice. As such, to compare like with like, the indicator includes PFI Finance Lease Liabilities within Net External Borrowing. As demonstrated in the above table, the authority had no difficulty meeting this requirement in 2010/11, nor are any difficulties envisaged for the current or future years. This view takes into account current commitments, existing plans, and the proposals in this budget report. Indicator 4 Authorised Limit for External Debt The authorised limit should reflect a level of borrowing which, while not desired, could be afforded, but may not be sustainable. In respect of its external debt, it is recommended that Council approves the following authorised limits for its total external debt gross of investments for the next three financial years. These limits separately identify borrowing from other long term liabilities including finance leases and PFI assets. Council is asked to approve these limits and to delegate authority to the Chief Financial Officer, within the total limit for any individual year, to effect movement between the separately agreed limits for borrowing and other long term liabilities, in accordance with option appraisal and best value for money for the authority. Any such changes made will be reported to the Council at its meeting following the change: Authorised Limit for External Debt 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 000 000 000 000 1,663,768 1,692,669 1,665,022 N/A 209,488 200,960 193,966 N/A 1,873,256 1,893,629 1,858,988 N/A

Borrowing Other long term liabilities

ANNEX 4

These authorised limits are consistent with the authoritys current commitments, existing plans and the proposals in this budget report for capital expenditure and financing, and with its approved treasury management policy statement and practices. They are based on the estimate of most likely, prudent but not worst case scenario, with in addition sufficient headroom over and above this to allow for operational management, for example unusual cash movements. Risk analysis and risk management strategies have been taken into account, as have plans for capital expenditure, estimates of the capital financing requirement and estimates of cashflow requirements for all purposes. Indicator 5 Operational Boundary for External Debt The Council is also asked to approve the following operational boundary for external debt for the same time period. The proposed operational boundary equates to the estimated maximum of external debt. It is based on the same estimates as the authorised limit but reflects directly the estimate of the most likely, prudent but not worst case scenario, without the additional headroom included within the authorised limit to allow for example for unusual cash movements. The operational boundary represents a key management tool for in year monitoring. Within the operational boundary, figures for borrowing and other long-term liabilities are separately identified. The Council is also asked to delegate authority to the Chief Financial Officer, within the total operational boundary for any individual year, to effect movement between the separately agreed figures for borrowing and other long term liabilities, in a similar fashion to the authorised limit. Any such changes will be reported to the Council at its next meeting following the change: Operational Boundary for External Debt 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 Estimate 000 1,616,742 209,488 1,826,230 Estimate 000 1,639,759 200,960 1,840,719 Estimate 000 1,578,567 193,966 1,772,533 Estimate 000 N/A N/A N/A

Borrowing Other long term liabilities

The Councils actual external debt at 31st March 2011 was 1,319.668m, comprising borrowing (including sums repayable within 12 months). Of this sum, 35.366m relates to borrowing carried out by the Council on behalf of the Police and Fire Joint Boards and Further Education Colleges. In taking its decisions on this budget report, the Council is asked to note that the estimate of capital expenditure determined for 2011/12 (see paragraph 1 above) will be the statutory limit determined under section 35(1) of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003. Indicator 6 Impact on Council Tax and House Rents The estimate of the incremental impact of capital investment decisions proposed in this budget report, together with changes in projected interest rates, over and above capital investment decisions that have previously been taken by the Council are: a) for the band D Council Tax 2012/13 8.81 b) for average weekly housing rents 2012/13 -0.09 2013/14 -0.48 2014/15 -1.15 2015/16 -1.32 2013/14 22.19 2014/15 0.23 2015/16 N/A

The HRA Capital Programme is indicative and will be updated by the HRA Business Plan in line with revised capital investment for 2012-13 and future years. This will also change the mix of available funding from receipts and prudential borrowing needed to support expenditure. The decrease in funding of the HRA Capital Programme from average house rents reflects the current estimate of funding from receipts and shows a reduction due to a presentational change. The detailed HRA Capital Programme and its funding will be reported in early 2012/13.

ANNEX 4

Consideration of options for the capital programme In considering its programme for capital investment, Council is required within the Prudential Code to have regard to: -affordability, e.g., implications for Council Tax; -prudence and sustainability, e.g., implications for external borrowing; -value for money, e.g., option appraisal; -stewardship of assets, e.g., asset management planning; -service objectives, e.g., strategic planning for the authority; -practicality, e.g., achievability of the forward plan. A key measure of affordability is the incremental impact on the Council Tax, and the Council could consider different options for its capital investment programme in relation to their differential impact on the Council Tax. Indicators included in Treasury Management Strategy The Councils treasury management strategy and annual plan for 2012/13 will include the following: - The Council has adopted the CIPFA Code of Practice for Treasury Management in the Public Services; - It is recommended that the Council sets an upper limit on its fixed interest rate exposures for 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 of 100% of its net outstanding principal sums; -It is further recommended that the Council sets an upper limit on its variable interest rate exposures for 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 of 75% of its net outstanding principal sums; -This means that the Chief Financial Officer will manage fixed interest rate exposures within the range 25% to 100% and variable interest rate exposures within the range 0% to 75%. This reflects the need for a high level of liquidity to assist in managing counterparty exposure in the current market environment; -It is recommended that the Council sets upper and lower limits for the maturity structure of its borrowing as follows. Amount of projected borrowing that is fixed rate maturing in each period as a percentage of total projected borrowing that is fixed rate: Upper Limit Lower Limit % 25 25 50 75 100 % 0 0 0 0 20

under 12 months 12 months and within 24 months 24 months and within 5 years 5 years and within 10 years 10 years and above

The maximum total principal sum which may be invested with a maturity of up to 3 years is 100m. In relation to Gross and Net Debt, the Council will continue its current practice of monitoring throughout the year that the projected Gross Debt position for the financial year does not, except in the short term, exceed the total of capital financing requirement in t preceding year plus the estimates of any additional capital financing requirement for the current and next two financial years.
