Definitions

1.1

The first stage in the construction of the budget for 2006/07 is the preparation of a base budget. The rules used this year are similar to those applied in 2005/06, which are summarised below.

       

1.2

The 2006/07 base budget is defined as the current year's budget adjusted for:

· allocations made for inflation in 2005/06 including the full year effect of the provision made for outstanding pay awards from 2004/05

· exclusion of expenditure included in the 2005/06 budget which was financed by the carry forward of planned underspendings from 2004/05, the one-off use of reserves or balances, or which was approved on a non-recurring basis

· the revenue effect of past capital programmes, subject to its inclusion in the approved capital programme unless a specific Cabinet decision to the contrary

· the full year effect of council-approved policies included in the 2005/06 original budget, which have been introduced part-way through the year

· changes in income volumes which are not the result of policy decisions

· correction of arithmetical errors in the current year's budget

· The following specific items:

   

Children

Variations arising directly from changes in the number of pupils in schools, pupils eligible for free meals and numbers of days in the school year

       
   

Environment

Routine highway and street lighting maintenance arising from variations in road length

     

Variations in waste disposal volumes

       
   

Adults

Increased cost of joint finance schemes with health due to operation of the taper

Notes

Cashable efficiency improvements are defined in the annual efficiency statement (AES) as occurring when:

- inputs (money, people, assets etc) are reduced but outputs remain unchanged

- the price of inputs (procurement, labour costs etc) are reduced but outputs remain unchanged.

A reduction in price of inputs is measured in general against the increase in the Gross Domestic Product deflator (likely to be around 2.5% in 2006/07). Thus if the price of inputs remains constant there is a gain of 2.5%.

a efficiency savings that count against the AES and produce budget savings - this will include general procurement savings against the budget provision of a 2.5% increase in prices

b efficiency savings that count against the AES, but do not produce a budget saving because the efficiency is avoiding unbudgeted cost e.g. staff reductions made to absorb increments, procurement efficiencies where costs are still exceeding 2.5%, capital receipts or developer contributions applied to avoid unplanned additional borrowing

c efficiency savings that do not meet the AES criteria but produce a budget saving. These will include efficiency savings that relate to LEA services to schools (that are outside the scope for AES) and fortuitous savings that are not strictly efficiencies

Non-cashable efficiency improvements are defined in the AES as occurring when:

- increased outputs or improved quality of service are obtained for the same inputs

- increased outputs or improved quality achieved at a rate that exceeds the increase in inputs.
