Agenda item - General Fund Revenue Budget, Council Tax and Capital Strategy 2019/20

Extract from the proceedings of the Policy, Resources & Growth Committee meeting held on the 14^th February, 2019; together with a report of the Executive Director for Finance & Resources (copies attached).

73.1         The Mayor noted that the principal budget items listed as Items 73 and 75 on the agenda would be debated together, along with Item 74 Supplementary Financial Information, once the proposed budget and the various amendments had been moved and seconded.  She therefore invited Councillor Yates to propose the budget for 2019/20.

 

73.2      Councillor Yates thanked the Mayor and stated that this budget brought to an end the 4-year planning cycle for the Administration and he wished to thank finance officers, all the officers across the council and Members involved in delivering this budget process.  He acknowledged that the council continued to face unprecedented demands and pressures but had sought to tackle these and to bring investment and development into the city.  He noted that the Valley Gardens project was coming forward and the development at Preston Barracks would see over 1,000 student units and new homes for residents.  The Royal Sussex County Hospital redevelopment was going well, and plans were advanced for improvements to the seafront and West Street.  However, the impact of Brexit was something that still needed to be considered and planned for if the city’s economy was to continue to grow.

 

73.3      He noted that there were ongoing changes to shopping habits and on-line retail which would have to be accounted for.  The city’s own retail economy was strong, with the 5^th lowest rate for vacant properties in the high street and a key component for the future would be the plans for the Waterfront development.  There was also a need to ensure that the city’s heritage was protected with valuable icons such as the Royal Pavilion. 

 

73.4      He also acknowledged that the council’s staff were its most valuable asset and services needed to be supported going forward.  He was pleased to note that there had been no compulsory redundancies to date even with the severe reductions in resources and significant changes to welfare reforms etc.  He referred to key items in the budget which included support for children and social care, adult social care, investment in cycling and walking infrastructure, the field officer service, housing schemes and support for homeless and rough sleeping. 

 

73.5      Councillor Yates stated that the overall budget proposals aimed to enable the council to deliver its services and meet the needs of residents.  He believed that the Council had achieved a great deal and was delivering across all its services.  He was proud to be able to lead an excellent team and commended the budget to the council.

 

73.6      Councillor Hamilton formally seconded the budget proposals and stated that was grateful for all the work undertaken by officers and his colleagues in securing a balanced budget for 2019/20.  There were significant pressures that still needed to be addressed in certain areas such as the i360 and capital expenditure.  He also reminded councillors of the potential impact for future budgets should the council tax increase not be agreed.  However, overall he believed the 4-year programme had been vindicated and hoped that the budget would be supported.

 

73.7      Councillor Wealls formally moved the Conservative Group’s amendments 1-3 and stated that he wished to thank the finance officers who had assisted with the budget process and to thank the Members of the Conservative Group for their contributions.  He then referred to the Administration’s period of office and questioned areas where he believed there were failings e.g. not getting the Dome into Trust status, the King Alfred remaining undeveloped, rough sleeping remained an area to be addressed, the lack of secondary schools being out-standing and under-achievement of young people, the failure to meet the recycling target of 38%, traffic congestion, lost bin collections, the lack of housing in the city, and the general state of the city.

 

73.8      Councillor Wealls questioned whether the current budget proposals would prevent compulsory redundancies and referred to the Conservative amendments which sought to invest in much needed areas and improve residents’ lives.  He therefore hoped that the amendments could be supported.

 

73.9      Councillor Janio formally seconded the amendments and thanked officers for their assistance with the budget process.  He also wished to pay tribute to Councillor Wealls for his services to the Group and as an advocate for the city.  The Conservative amendments sought to reduce waste and supported a number of services and put forward a smaller increase in council tax as a clear commitment to residents who would receive improved services at less cost.  He therefore urged councillors to support the amendments.

 

73.10   Councillor Sykes moved the Green Group’s five amendments relating to the General Fund and the Housing Revenue Account.  He stated that also wished to thank the finance officers for their support during the budget process.  He stated that there was a real need to consider how the proposed increase in council tax could be afforded by those who were in vulnerable positions and questioned the budget proposals which he felt did not address the needs of the city.  He believed the Green Group’s amendments would have a real impact and should be supported.  They would protect services and enable improvements to be made such as to the environment and help to address climate change by investing in the Sustainability Team.  He could not support the Conservative amendments and recommended the Green amendments to the council.

 

73.11   Councillor Mac Cafferty formally seconded the Green Group’s amendments and stated that it there was a need to protect front-line services and ensure value for money was achieved with contracts.  There was a need to get the basics right and to improve resources with investment in areas to tackle issues such as climate change.  He also wished to thank Councillor Sykes for his work on the budget proposals and scrutiny of the budgets over the last four years.

 

73.12   The Mayor then opened the matter up to a general debate and the following Members of the Council spoke on the various amendments that had been put forward as well as the general prevailing budget proposals and position:

 

Councillors Daniel, Deane, Taylor, Hill, Page, Peltzer Dunn, Inkpin-Leissner, Cattell, Lewry, Phillips, Mitchell, Druitt, G. Theobald, Bewick, Miller, Gibson, Mears, Robins, Littman, Wares, Moonan, Meadows, Bell, Greenbaum, C. Theobald, and Hamilton.

 

73.13   The Mayor noted that all Members wishing to speak during the debate had done so.  She then called on Councillor Mitchell to respond to the debate and the amendments.

 

73.14   Councillor Mitchell thanked the Mayor and all Members for their contributions during the debate.  She wished to reiterate the thanks to the staff involved in preparing the overall budget and noted the tremendous amount of work that went into bringing the proposals to the meeting.  She could not accept the Conservative amendments but was happy to support the Green amendment No.1 as it added real value to the budget.  She therefore recommended the budget proposals as outlined to the council for approval.

 

73.15   The Mayor noted that the meeting had been in progress for two and a half hours and stated that she felt a short adjournment should be held.  She therefore adjourned the meeting for a period of 20 minutes.

 

73.16   The meeting was adjourned at 7.10pm and the Mayor reconvened the meeting at 7.35pm.

 

73.17   The Mayor stated that in view of the fact that the amendments related to either the General Fund or the Housing revenue Account, she intended to put each one to the vote.  However, she would call on the Executive Director for Finance & Resources to confirm the budgetary position should any amendment be carried and have an impact on the overall budget as necessary.  She would then put the substantive recommendations to the vote as outlined in the procedural rules.

 

73.18   The Mayor then asked for the electronic voting system to be activated and put the Conservative Group amendments No’s.1 to 3 to the vote as detailed below:
