Minutes:
The Head of Finance provided the most up to date revenue budget monitoring information (Month 6) for the Council Fund and the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) in 2013/14.
The projected year end position on the Council Fund, as estimated at Month 6 was:
· Net in year expenditure forecast to be £1.012m less than budget (a decrease of £0.062m on the £1.074m reported at Month 5)
· Projected contingency reserve balance at 31 March 2014 of £3.653m
The projected year end position on the HRA, as estimated at Month 6 was:
· Net in year expenditure forecast to under spend the budget by £0.062m (£0.014 m under spend reported at Month 5)
· Projected HRA balances at 31 March 2014 of £1.495m
The report provided details on the projected positive variance of expenditure against budget of £1.012m, programme of efficiencies, inflation, monitoring budget assumptions and new risks, and unearmarked reserves.
On the HRA, for 2013/14 there was an overall projected under spend of £0.062m and a projected closing balance at Month 6 of £1.495m, which at 5.2% of total expenditure satisfied the prudent approach of ensuring a minimum level of 3%.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the report be noted;
(b) That the projected Council Fund contingency sum as at 31 March 2014 be noted; and
(c) That the projected final level of balances on the Housing Revenue Account be noted.
