Housing Revenue Account Budget Setting Report PDF 80 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: This item was chaired by Diana Minns (Vice Chair
/Tenant Representative) Matter for
Decision The report
referred to the 2016/17
budget process. The range of assumptions upon which the Housing Revenue Account
(HRA) Business Plan and Mid-Year Financial Review were based, were reviewed in
light of the latest information available, culminating in the preparation of
the HRA Budget Setting Report. Decision of
Executive Councillor for Housing The Executive Councillor for Housing resolved to: a)
Approve that council dwellings rents for existing
tenants be reduced by 1%, in line with legislative requirements, introduced as
part of the Welfare Reform and Work Bill 2015, with effect from 4th April 2016.
This equates to an average rent reduction at the time of writing this report of
£1.01 per week on a 52 week basis. b)
Approve inflationary increases of 2% in garage and
parking space rents for 2016/17, in line with the base rate of inflation for
the year assumed in the HRA Budget Setting Report. c)
Approve the proposed service charges for Housing
Revenue Account services and facilities, as shown in Appendix B of the HRA
Budget Setting Report. d)
Approve the proposed leasehold administration
charges for 2016/17 as detailed in Appendix B of the HRA Budget Setting Report.
e)
Approve that service charges for gas maintenance,
door entry systems, lifts and electrical and mechanical maintenance are
increased by a maximum of inflation as measured by CPI at September 2015
(-0.1%) plus 1%, if required, to continue to recover full estimated costs as
detailed in Appendix B of the HRA Budget Setting Report. This will result in a
cap in increases for these charges of 0.9%. f)
Approve that caretaking, building cleaning, estate
services, grounds maintenance, temporary housing premises and utilities,
sheltered scheme premises and utilities, digital television aerial, flat
cleaning and catering charges continue to be recovered at full cost, as
detailed in Appendix B of the HRA Budget Setting Report. g)
Approve that the charge for the full cost of the
provision of the alarm service in sheltered housing and dispersed community
alarm properties be identified separately, as a charge which is ineligible for
housing benefit, following cessation of funding for this service by the County
Council from April 2016. Revenue – HRA Revised Budget 2015/16: h)
Approve with any amendments, the Revised Budget
identified in Section 4 of the HRA Budget Setting Report, which reflects a net
reduction in the use of HRA reserves for 2015/16 of £19,300. i)
Approve release, cessation of use, and
appropriation, of an ear-marked reserve currently standing at £121,900, held in
respect of monies received for the placement of aerials on HRA flat blocks,
into general HRA reserves, to allow alternative future use. Budget 2016/17: j)
Approve with any amendments, the Non-Cash Limit
items shown in Appendix D (1) of the HRA Budget
Setting Report. k)
Approve with any amendments, the Unavoidable
Revenue Pressures, Savings and Increased Income proposals, shown in Appendix D
(1) of the HRA Budget Setting Report. l)
Approve the deletion of the Priority Policy Fund
(PPF) allocation of £150,000 from 2017/18, and instead approve the creation of
a fund for Service Development and Transformation/ Invest to Save Initiatives,
of £120,000 per annum for 5 years from 2016/17. Approve delegated authority to
the Strategic Advisor, to invest this fund, in either one-off projects, or to
fund ongoing activity as required. m)
Approve the resulting Housing Revenue Account revenue
budget as summarised in the Housing Revenue Account Summary Forecast 2015/16 to
2020/21 shown in Appendix J of the HRA Budget Setting Report. Treasury
Management n)
Request that, in 2016/17, officers review the
existing approach to treasury management, which required 25% of the value of
the housing debt to be set-aside by the point at which the loan portfolio
matures, recognising the financial constraints that have been placed upon the
HRA as a result of recent change in national housing policy. A separate report
will be brought back to Housing Scrutiny Committee in 2016/17 following this
review. Housing Capital o)
Approval of capital bids, shown in Appendix D (2)
of the HRA Budget Setting Report, to include meeting the capital cost of
re-locating staff to a single area housing office, with the cost to be funded
from existing repairs and renewals funds for the service. p)
Approval of amendment to the Decent Homes Programme
investment, recognising the ability to make savings of £810,000 in 2015/16 in
respect of boiler replacements, roof structure works, communal areas
investment, garage refurbishment, asbestos removal and fire safety works, as
detailed in Section 5 and Appendix E (2) of the HRA Budget Setting Report. q)
Approval of the need to re-profile resource of
£570,000 from 2015/16 into 2016/17 in respect of roof covering works and
bathroom replacements, and £102,000 from 2015/16 into later years of the
programme in respect of remedial works due to sulphate, as detailed in Section
5 and Appendix E (2) of the HRA Budget Setting Report. r)
Approval of the latest budget, spend profile and
funding mix for each of the schemes in the new build programme, as detailed in
Section 5 and Appendix H of the HRA Budget Setting Report, recognising the most
up to date information available as each scheme progresses through the design, planning,
build contract and completion process. s)
Recognition of the need to incorporate into the
Housing Capital Investment Plan, grants awarded by the Homes and Communities
Agency in respect of Aylesborough Close, Water Lane, Ditchburn Place and Clay Farm. t)
Approval to earmark the required level of
additional funding for new build investment between 2016/17 and 2017/18 to
ensure that commitments can be met in respect of the investment of all right to
buy receipts retained by the authority, up to the end of September 2015. u)
Approval to earmark additional resource of
£3,110,000 towards the cost of the re-development of Anstey Way, in
anticipation of a revised scheme being brought forward for the site,
recognising the lower level of HRA resource available than anticipated when the
scheme was first considered. v)
Approval of allocation of funds for a scheme to
re-develop a mixed use HRA site in Akeman Street,
subject to the approval of a separate report for the scheme, to be considered
in Part 2 of this committee agenda. w)

Plan as shown in Appendix K of the HRA Budget Setting Report. x)

Review, following the outcome of consultation with both tenants and staff about
proposed service changes and resulting final savings. Reason for the Decision As set out in the Officer’s report. Any Alternative Options Considered and Rejected Not applicable. Scrutiny
Considerations The Committee
received a report from the Principal Accountant / Business Manager on the HRA
Budget-Setting Report. It set out the key parameters for the detailed recommendations
and final budget proposals, and is the basis for the finalisation of the
2016/17 budgets. Due to the Liberal Democratic proposed amendment to the budget the
Principal Accountant / Business Manager advised the order of the vote would be
reversed with part two of the recommendations (O to Y) being taken first, in
order for the Councillors to vote on the capital before the Committee voted on
the first half of the recommendation (A to N). The Committee made the following comments in response to the report:
i.
Sought clarification regarding the following
issues: Star Surveys; progress with shared Housing Management Service;
recharges for building cleaning costs; HRA receipts for aerials; and why an
office move for the area housing offices produced a need for new furniture.
ii.
Suggested that both Area Housing Manager posts be
retained while major changes were delivered.
iii.
Requested updates on any representations to Central
Government regarding the rent reductions.
iv.
Expressed regret that extending the life of older
boilers would have an impact on climate change reduction targets and on costs
to tenants.
v.
Suggested that a reduced
provision of emergency alarms would increase cost to other services such as the
NHS. In response to Members’ questions the Director of Customer and Community
Services and Business Manager / Principal Accountant stated that:
i.
The Star Survey would be reviewed at the March
meeting. The need to manage expectations in line with the need to meet savings
targets.
ii.
Sharing services with South Cambs
would provide savings in future. Work was ongoing to examine potential new ways
of working and to identify potential savings.
iii.
Negotiations were on-going regarding the building
cleaning contract. However, a refund for past poor performance had been secured. iv.
Aerial revenues funds were used to fund the
following: CCTV and the laundry room at Kingsway flats and a laundry room and
community room at Princess and Hanover Courts. Any remaining revenue would be
added to the HRA budget.
v.
The existing furniture of the area housing offices
would be reused where possible following any move. However, some smaller
furniture might be required to maximise usable office space in the new
location. vi.
Local Authorities were holding meetings to discuss
the potential impact of the Housing Bill. However, until the Bill became law,
no legal challenge was possible. Submissions would be made to the Housing
Commission. vii.
A future report of provisions to sustain tenants
and to assist them to manage their budget and to maintain their rent payments
following changes to welfare provision and the loss of Area Housing Offices,
would come to this committee later in the year. viii.
Tenants would be informed of alternative provision
for the payment of rent and access points for housing advice. Councillor Price stated that he had met with
the Housing Minister and had written to him regarding the rent reductions and
the requirement to sell high value properties. The Business Manager / Principal Accountant
stated that there were no proposals to remove the alarms from sheltered Housing
schemes. However, the County Council subsidy for this service was being
withdrawn. The Head of City Homes stated that his team were aware of how
important this service was and that the current provision went above and beyond
what many providers offered. He invited Members to contact him if they would
like to visit to the Care Call service. The Committee discussed the level of council
garage voids and potential solution. It was suggested that many were too small
for modern cars and that rent levels for alternative uses, such as storage,
were prohibitively expensive compared to other storage options. Councillor Avery
proposed the Liberal Democrats Group alternative budget and outlined the
proposals for the Committee’s consideration. He thanked officers for their time
and assistance over the Christmas period.
2.

Scrutiny
Considerations of Liberal Democrat Alternative Budget amendment The Committee made the following comments in response to the report:
i.
Questioned the advantages to be had from using
private developers to develop Anstey Way.
ii.
Suggested that the proposals would result in asset
stripping and stated that the best reserve for the Council was housing stock
and land. Councillor Avery
stated that he was not in favour of selling off land but that there was a need
to deliver social housing as soon as possible. Delivering Anstey Way would be
sending Central Government a message that Cambridge would continue to build
social housing. It would also generate income. The Chair noted
the Tenant and Leaseholder representative’s comments that it was unfair that
they could not vote on recommendations n to x. The following votes were chaired by Councillor
Todd-Jones The Liberal
Democrats Group alternative budget: 2
votes in favour to 6 against. The amendment fell. Resolved
(6 vote to 0, with 2 abstentions) to
endorse the original recommendations n to x and y (noting the corrected
numbering) of the budget proposals. The following vote was chaired by Diana Minns (Vice
Chair /Tenant Representative) Resolved (8 votes to 0, with 5 abstentions) to
endorse the original report recommendations a to m of the budget proposals The Executive
Councillor approved the recommendations. Conflicts of
Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any Dispensations Granted) No conflicts of
interest were declared by the Executive Councillor. |

Council New Build Redevelopment 74-82 Akeman Street - Scheme Approval PDF 84 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: This item was chaired by Councillor Todd-Jones Matter for
Decision The
report provided details of the proposal to redevelop the shops and flats at
74-82 Akeman Street to provide 10 new homes. The area currently consisted of 5 No. commercial
units with flats above and associated land to the rear. Decision
of Executive Councillor for Housing
i.
Noted the indicative mix of the proposed scheme.
ii.
Approved the scheme capital budget of £1,985,510 as detailed in the
report to cover the construction cost of the scheme and professional fees and
other costs, also noting that a final scheme will be brought back to committee
for scrutiny and approval.
iii.
Approved that delegated authority be given to the Director of Customer
and Community Services following consultation with the Head of Legal Services
to seal a contract with the chosen contractor following procurement in
accordance with Council regulations. Reason for the Decision As set out in the Officer’s report. Any Alternative Options Considered and Rejected Not applicable. Scrutiny
Considerations The Committee received a report from the Head of Strategic Housing. The
Committee noted an error in the recommendations. Recommendation ii should have
read £1,985,510 as at 4 (a) of the report. The Committee made the following comments in response to the report:
i.
Welcomed the report.
ii.
Suggested that the development would help to break
down social barriers in the area.
iii.
Suggested that at a time of housing need, there was
an opportunity to increase the density of the site without losing the quality. iv.
The commercial units were an asset to the community
and should be retained if possible. The Chair stated that the
existing Community Room was an important element of the site for meeting
community needs in an ethnically mixed area. The final scheme might be quite
different to the original plan. It was hoped that there would be an opportunity
for tenants being decanted to return, if they wished, once the scheme was
completed. The Committee resolved by 6 votes to 2 to endorse the amended recommendations. The Executive
Councillor approved the recommendations. Conflicts of
Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any Dispensations Granted) No conflicts of
interest were declared by the Executive Councillor. |

comments in response to the report:
i.
The scheme pilot was welcomed.
ii.
Questioned the affordability of rents
at 80% of the upper quartile of market rents.
iii.
Suggested there was a risk to the
general fund as the profit margins would be very narrow.
iv.
Suggested that a wider tenure mix
might make the scheme more financially viable.
v.
Expressed concerns that Right to Buy
Exceptions could be changed making these properties vulnerable to Right to Buy applications. In response to Members questions the
Head of Strategic Housing stated that:
i.
The tenancies would be offered on
standard assured short hold conditions.
ii.
Potential tenants would be subject to income
checks as with any private rental arrangement.
