On a vote being taken, the recommendation was

 

RESOLVED that the minutes of the Cabinet meeting held on 19^th February 2018 be noted.

 

a)       Housing Revenue Account Estimates for 2018/19 to 2021/22 and Proposed Outturn for 2017/18

 

Councillor Brownridge MOVED and Councillor Jabbar SECONDED a joint report which set out the latest Housing Revenue Account (HRA) estimate for 2017/18, the detailed budget for 2018/19 and strategic estimates for the three years 2019/20 through to 2021/22.  The Report also set out the recommended dwelling and non-dwelling rents and service charge increases to be applied from April 2018. 

The projected financial position for 2017/18 was estimated to be a £1.785m positive variance when compared to the original budget forecast for 2017/18 approved at the March 2017 budget meeting.  The majority of the variance could be attributed to the re-profiling of HRA funded capital schemes into later years due to revisions to planning spending profiles. 

The financial position for 2018/19 showed an estimated closing balance of £18.870m which was considered to sufficient to meet future operational commitments and the potential financial pressures identified in the risk assessment.  The 2018/19 position had been presented after allowing for an increase in rent of 4%.  It was noted that the Government had already advised that PFI properties were exempt from Central Government’s 1% Social Rent Reduction Programme.  As all Oldham housing stock was contained within two PFI schemes the 2018/19 would follow historic rent setting guidance of CPI plus 1%, which resulted in an increase of 4% (CPI was taken as at September 2017).

 

No member spoke on this item.

 

RESOLVED that:

 

1.       The forecast HRA outturn for 2017/18, as outlined at Appendix A of the report, be approved.

2.       The proposed HRA budget for 2018/19, as outlined at Appendix B of the report, be approved.

3.       The strategic estimates for 2019/20 to 2021/22, as outlined at Appendix D of the report, be approved.

4.       The proposed increase to dwelling rents for all properties for 4% be approved.

5.       The proposed increase to non-dwelling rents as per individual contracts be approved.

6.       The proposed increase to PFI 2 service charges to continue on previously approved transitional arrangements but without an inflationary uplift be approved.

7.       The proposed no inflationary increase to PFI 4 service charges be approved.

 

b)       Capital Strategy and Capital Programme 2018/19 to 2021/22

 

          Councillor Jabbar MOVED and Councillor Stretton SECONDED a report of the Director of Finance which set out the Capital Strategy for 2018/19 to 2021/22 and thereby the proposed 2018/19 capital programme which included identified capital investment priorities, together with the indicative capital programme for 2019/20 to 2021/22, having regard to the resources available over the life of the programme.  The overall capital programme position would be kept under review and any new funding allocations would be presented to Members in future reports.

 

          No member spoke on this item.   

 

RESOLVED that:

          Councillor Jabbar MOVED and Councillor Stretton SECONDED a report of the Director of Finance which presented the strategy for 2018/19 Treasury Management activities which included the Minimum Revenue Provision Policy Statement, the Annual Investment Strategy and Prudential Indicators.  The Strategy for 2018/19 covered two main area of Capital Issues and Treasury Management Issues.  The report outlined the implications and key factors related to each of Capital and Treasury Management Issues and made recommendations with regard to the Treasury Management Strategy for 2018/19. 

The Treasury Management Strategy was based on the current guidance at the time of writing.  The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) released revised and updated versions of the Prudential Code and the Treasury Management Code in early January 2018.  It had not yet released guidance notes to these two Codes which would provide clarity in interpreting new requirements.  This was important as these Codes heavily influenced the context of the Treasury Management Strategy. 

 

          No member spoke on this item.

 

RESOLVED that:

 

1.       The Capital Expenditure Estimates as per paragraph 2.1.2 of the report be approved.

2.       The Minimum Revenue Provision Policy (MRP) and method of calculation as per Appendix 1 of the report be approved.

3.       The Capital Financing Requirement (CFR) Projections as per paragraph 2.2.4 of the report be approved.

          No member spoke on this item.
