PAPER C


FIRE AND PUBLIC SAFETY SELECT COMMITTEE - 12 MAY 2003


BUDGET MONITORING REPORT AS AT END OF APRIL 2003


REPORT OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER


SUMMARY / PURPOSE


This report sets out the budget and spending position on revenue for the services within this Committee’s remit, as at the end of April 2003. The figures do not include budgets that are controlled elsewhere than the service concerned. These are monitored by the Committee which bears responsibility for the item concerned.


REVENUE EXPENDITURE


The expenditure and income to date against budget are shown at Appendix 1. There are no significant variances or pressures to report at present.


CAPITAL EXPENDITURE


A capital report is not included as slippage figures for last financial year are not yet finalised, therefore budgets are not yet set.


RELEVANT PLANS, POLICIES, STRATEGIES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS


The services included within this report are linked to the Council’s key strategic objectives, specifically:

 

           •          Improving health, housing and the quality of life for all;

 

           •          Creating safe and crime-free communities.


There are no direct implications for performance indictors arising from the production of this report. However, clearly there will be implications for future performance measures and indicators arising from the information contained within this report, specifically any cost based indicators, but also the outcomes arising from the services and projects to which this report refers.


CONSULTATION PROCESS


No specific consultation has been undertaken in the production of this report. However, a number of the services included within the report will have been the subject of consultation with a range of external agencies and members of the public.


FINANCIAL, LEGAL, CRIME AND DISORDER IMPLICATIONS


Since this is a budget monitoring report, there are a number of financial implications (both revenue and capital) for the Council as a whole, and for the services for which this Committee has responsibility. These are set out in appendices 1 and 2 respectively.


There are no direct financial, legal or crime and disorder issues arising from the production of this report.
