Recommendation of the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee: 18 November 2021 - Arrangements for Appointment of External Auditors pdf icon PDF 133 KB

Report number:     CAB/WS/21/055

Portfolio holder: Councillor Sarah Broughton

Chair of the Committee: Councillor Ian Houlder

Lead officer: Rachael Mann

Decision:

Recommended to Council:

(14 December 2021)

 

That it be agreed to continue to ‘opt-in’ to the sector led body (Public Sector Audit Appointments Limited (PSAA)) for the independent appointment of the Council’s external auditor, beginning with responsibilities for the financial year 2023 to 2024.

Minutes:

(Report number CAB/WS/21/055)

 

The Cabinet considered this report, which was recommending to Council, approval of the appointing process for external auditors from the 2023 to 2024 financial year.

 

In September 2016, the former Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury Councils’ Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committees received papers regarding the appointment of external auditors for a period of five years from 1 April 2018. The Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 brought to a close the Audit Commission and established transitional arrangements for the appointment of external auditors, and the setting of audit fees for all local government and NHS bodies in England.

 

At the conclusion of the transitional arrangements, West Suffolk Council had agreed to continue to use the Public Sector Audit Appointments Limited (PSAA) (Report number: COU/SA/18/010 - Appointment of External Auditors) as its route to select its external auditors Ernst and Young for the remaining term of the five years from 1 April 2019 (ending the financial year 2022 to 2023). 

 

The Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee considered the following three options available for the appointing process for external auditors from 2023 to 2024.  The Council could choose one of the following options:

 

1.       Procurement via PSAA;

2.       Establish a stand-alone appointment; or

3.       Set up a joint auditor panel/local joint procurement arrangements.

 

Councillor Sarah Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Property, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including the advantages and disadvantages of each of the above three options available, as set out in Report number: PAS/WS/21/021.

 

The Cabinet supported the recommendation of the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee and agreed to recommend to full Council that the Council should continue to ‘opt-in’ to the sector led body (Public Sector Audit Appointments Limited (PSAA)) for the independent appointment of the Council’s external auditor.

 

 

Recommended to Council (14 December 2021):

 

That it be agreed to continue to ‘opt-in’ to the sector led body (Public Sector Audit Appointments Limited (PSAA)) for the independent appointment of the Council’s external auditor, beginning with responsibilities for the financial year 2023 to 2024.

Recommendations of the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee: 18 November 2021 - Delivering a Sustainable Medium-Term Budget pdf icon PDF 186 KB

Report number:     CAB/WS/21/056

Portfolio holder: Councillor Sarah Broughton

Chair of the Committee: Councillor Ian Houlder

Lead officer: Rachael Mann

Decision:

Recommended to Council:

(14 December 2021)

 

That the proposals as detailed in Section 2 and Table 1 at paragraph 3.6 of Report number: PAS/WS/21/024, be included in the medium-term financial plans to 2026.

 

Minutes:

(Report number CAB/WS/21/056)

 

The Cabinet considered this report, which was recommending to Council, approval of proposals for inclusion in the medium-term financial plans.

 

On 18 November 2021, the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee (PASC) considered proposals for delivering a sustainable balanced budget for 2022 to 2023 and for developing the medium term plans. This included a number of key budget assumptions proposed and the rationale behind those assumptions, as set out in section 2 and Table 1 of paragraph 3.6 of Report number: PAS/WS/21/024.

 

The recommendations, which subject to any changes made by Cabinet at this meeting, would be presented for subsequent approval by Council on 14 December 2021. These, together with any further recommendations emanating from PASC and Cabinet in the coming weeks, would be incorporated into the budget setting process, the composite report for which would be considered by Cabinet and Council in February 2022.

 

Councillor Sarah Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Property, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet.

 

Having considered the process and approach to setting the Council’s 2022 to 2023 budget and the principles and challenges faced in achieving this, the Cabinet supported the recommendation of the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee.

 

 

Recommended to Council (14 December 2021):

 

That the proposals as detailed in Section 2 and Table 1 at paragraph 3.6 of Report number: PAS/WS/21/024, be included in the medium-term financial plans to 2026.

Recommendations of the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee: 18 November 2021 - Treasury Management Report (September 2021) pdf icon PDF 130 KB

Report number:     CAB/WS/21/057

Portfolio holder: Councillor Sarah Broughton

Chair of the Committee: Councillor Ian Houlder

Lead officer: Rachael Mann

Decision:

Recommended to Council:

(14 December 2021)

 

That the Treasury Management Report (September 2021), as contained in Report number: FRS/WS/21/005, be approved.

 

Resolved:

 

That the externalisation of our underlying need to borrow in order to manage the Council’s interest rate risk exposure, be agreed.

Minutes:

(Report number CAB/WS/21/057)

 

The Cabinet considered this report, which was recommending to Council, approval of the Treasury Management Report for the first half of the 2021 financial year. An additional recommendation from the Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee (PASC) was also presented to Cabinet for consideration, which related to consideration of the Council’s position regarding external borrowing.

 

Councillor Sarah Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Property, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including that the total amount invested at 30 September 2021 was £52 million. Interest achieved in the first half of the financial year amounted to £34,122 against a budget for the period of £22,500.

 

The 2021 to 2022 Annual Treasury Management and Investment Strategy set out the Council’s projections for the current financial year. The budget for investment income in 2021 to 2022 was £45,000 which was based on a 0.25 per cent target average interest rate of return on investments.

 

Members also noted from the report, a summary of the capital borrowing budget 2020 to 2021; borrowing and income – proportionality; borrowing and asset yields; borrowing and temporary loans and other market considerations.

 

External borrowing as of 30 September 2021 remained at £4 million with the Council’s level of internal borrowing increasing slightly to £48,039,000 as at 30 September 2021.  Overall borrowing, both external and internal was expected to increase over the full financial year, but not by as much as was originally budgeted for.  Borrowing costs (interest payable and Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP)) for the year were forecast to be £965,804 against an approved budget of £3,135,850, although this could change if more external borrowing was undertaken than was currently forecast.

 

Together with other matters, Report number: FRS/WS/21/005 had also included a summary of the borrowing activity during the period; borrowing strategy and sources of borrowing; borrowing and capital costs – affordability; borrowing and income – proportionality; and borrowing and asset yields. This had led to a discussion by PASC on external borrowing and what the Council’s trigger point was in borrowing externally, as inflation was on the rise and interest rates remained historically low.  The Committee had suggested the Council needed to achieve interest rate certainty as soon as practicable and should be looking to lock in the low borrowing rates, externalising the Council’s underlying need to borrow.

 

This approach was supported by the Cabinet, with members recognising the benefits of greater certainty, removing exposure to the level of risk internal borrowing created, and enabling the budget for appropriate projects to be set with actual costs.

 

 

 

Recommended to Council (14 December 2021):

 

That the Treasury Management Report (September 2021), as contained in Report number: FRS/WS/21/005, be approved.

 

Resolved:

 

That the externalisation of our underlying need to borrow in order to manage the Council’s interest rate risk exposure, be agreed.

West Suffolk Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme (LCTRS): 2022 to 2023 pdf icon PDF 192 KB

Report number:     CAB/WS/21/058

Portfolio holder: Councillor Sarah Broughton

Lead officer: Rachael Mann

Additional documents:

Decision:

Recommended to Council:

(14 December 2021)

 

That:

1.       the Local Council Tax Reduction (LCTRS) Scheme for 2022 to 2023, as outlined in Report number: CAB/WS/21/058, be reviewed.

 

2.       The changes to the scheme outlined in section 2 of Report number: CAB/WS/21/058, and as detailed in Appendix C, be agreed.

 

Minutes:

(Report number CAB/WS/21/058)

 

The Cabinet considered this report, which was recommending to Council approval of proposed changes to the West Suffolk Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme.

 

Each year the Council was required to review its Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme (LCTRS). The report provided an annual review of the 2021 to 2022 scheme and proposed to make changes to the scheme for 2022 to 2023, having been subject to preceptor, stakeholder and public consultation, as required by the relevant regulations when amendments to the scheme were proposed.

 

Councillor Sarah Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Property, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including that the proposed changes to take effect from 1 April 2022, were as follows:

 

If implemented, these changes would affect:

 

1.   the threshold for how much capital a customer could own (for example, savings) and still be entitled to a council tax reduction

2.   the impact that living with non-dependent adult friends or family members had on the council tax reduction that a customer received

3.   the relationship between the application processes for Universal Credit and for Local Council Tax Reduction

4.   the way in which fluctuations in a customer’s earnings were taken into account in the LCTRS

 

Each of the proposed changes were detailed in turn within section 2 of the report.

 

Having considered the proposals, their potential impact and the outcomes of the consultation, the Cabinet was supportive of the amended scheme and agreed it should be recommended to Council for approval.

 

 

Recommended to Council (14 December 2021):

 

That:

1.       the Local Council Tax Reduction (LCTRS) Scheme for 2022 to 2023, as outlined in Report number: CAB/WS/21/058, be reviewed.

 

2.       The changes to the scheme outlined in section 2 of Report number: CAB/WS/21/058, and as detailed in Appendix C, be agreed.

 

(Councillor Ian Houlder left the meeting at the conclusion of this item.)

2.       The life of the Housing Strategy be extended to 2024, be approved.

 

3.       The revised Housing Strategy Implementation Plan, as set out in Appendix B of Report number: CAB/WS/21/059, be approved.

 

4.       Progress against the Housing Delivery Action Plan (Appendix C), be noted.

 

5.       Progress against the Homelessness Reduction and Rough Sleeping Strategy Delivery Plan (Appendix D), be noted.

Minutes:

(Report number CAB/WS/21/059)

 

The Cabinet considered this report, which provided a progress update on the Council’s Housing Priorities, as set out in the Strategic Framework 2020 to 2024, in relation to the following strategic documents. Approval was sought on the proposed revisions:

 

Appendix A: Addendum to the Housing Strategy 2018 to 2023

Appendix B: Housing Strategy Implementation Plan

Appendix C:Housing Delivery Action Plan (progress required to be noted only)

Appendix D:Homelessness Reduction and Rough Sleeping Strategy Delivery Plan (progress required to be noted only)

 

Members noted that a mid term review of the Housing Strategy and Implementation Plan had been undertaken this year. Its purpose was to:

 

·         Ensure the priorities and actions remained relevant, fit for purpose and were aligned with the Council’s future housing needs across West Suffolk; and

 

·         Review progress made against achieving the Council’s priorities.

 

The outcomes of the review were noted, which had resulted in considering it appropriate to add an addendum to the Housing Strategy 2018 to 2023 (Appendix A) with a revised Implementation Plan (Appendix B). The addendum provided an update to the strategy setting out significant policy changes and events that had taken place since the Housing Strategy was first adopted and recommended that the life of the Housing Strategy be extended to 2024. Whilst the housing priorities remained relevant, some proposed changes had been made to the actions contained in the Implementation Plan.

 

Progress made against the Housing Delivery Action Plan (Appendix C) and the Homelessness Reduction and Rough Sleeping Strategy delivery plan (Appendix D) was also noted, including where actions had been completed and those that had created challenges.

 

Councillor Sara Mildmay-White, Portfolio Holder for Housing and Strategic Health, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including providing a brief update on provision being made to support rough sleepers in the district, particularly over the winter period.

 

The Cabinet acknowledged the extremely hard work of the housing teams across the Council, particularly those in the Rough Sleeper team, and commended this report for approval.

 

Resolved:

 

That:

1.       an addendum to the Housing Strategy 2018-2023, as set out in Appendix A of Report number: CAB/WS/21/059, be approved.

 

2.       The life of the Housing Strategy be extended to 2024, be approved.

 

3.       The revised Housing Strategy Implementation Plan, as set out in Appendix B of Report number: CAB/WS/21/059, be approved.

 

4.       Progress against the Housing Delivery Action Plan (Appendix C), be noted.

 

5.       Progress against the Homelessness Reduction and Rough Sleeping Strategy Delivery Plan (Appendix D), be noted.

Barley Homes: Business Plan 2021 pdf icon PDF 161 KB

Report number:     CAB/WS/21/062

Portfolio holder: Councillor Sara Mildmay-White

Lead officer: Julie Baird

 

Additional documents:

Decision:

Resolved:

 

That:

1.       the progress update for Barley Homes and steps outlined in Report number: CAB/WS/21/062, to secure its medium term pipeline of sites, be noted.

 

2.       The Barley Homes Business Plan 2021, attached as Exempt Appendix A to Report number: CAB/WS/21/062, be approved.

Minutes:

(Report number CAB/WS/21/062)

 

The Cabinet considered this report, which sought approval for the Barley Homes Business Plan 2021.

 

Councillor Sara Mildmay-White, Portfolio Holder for Housing and Strategic Health, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including that the Barley Homes scheme at Westmill Place (formerly Westfield), Haverhill, for the delivery of 63 homes, of which 19 were affordable had been completed during the summer of 2021 and sold with residents moving in shortly afterwards and throughout September and October 2021. Stonemill Park (formerly Castle Hill) had progressed well with homes envisaged to be available on the market in early 2022 with a potential completion of the scheme by May 2022.

 

The proposed business plan (Exempt Appendix A) focussed on Barley Homes’ completion of the development at Stonemill Park as well as work to bring forward the site at Kingshall Street, Rougham. Progress made with the sites at School Lane, Great Barton and at College Heath Road, Mildenhall was also reported in the business plan.

 

A number of future sites were being explored by Barley Homes and the Council as part of the ongoing process of supplying the company with a viable development pipeline. This would enable Barley Homes to continue to utilise the agreed £14.25 million investment fund which in turn provided financial returns to the Council. The annual business planning process had not highlighted a need to revise the total investment fund. As there was no further funding required for the investment fund for Barley Homes, the approval of the 2021 business plan sat as an executive function of the Cabinet.

 

Members commended the work of officers involved in producing the business plan and were extremely pleased with the good progress made by Barley Homes in the last year. The provision of much needed housing, including affordable homes, as well as the returns generated for the Council, was commendable.

 

A discussion was also held on the composition of the Barley Homes board and its future direction.

 

 

Resolved:

 

That:

1.       the progress update for Barley Homes and steps outlined in Report number: CAB/WS/21/062, to secure its medium term pipeline of sites, be noted.

 

2.       The Barley Homes Business Plan 2021, attached as Exempt Appendix A to Report number: CAB/WS/21/062, be approved.

Exclusion of press and public

To consider whether the press and public should be excluded during the consideration of the following items because it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present during the items, there would be disclosure to them of exempt categories of information as prescribed in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and indicated against each item and, in all circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
