BS19/47 Proposed Revotes for the Year Ended 30 June 2019
This report summarises the unspent funds proposed to be revoted from the 2018/19 Operational Plan budgets into the 2019/20 Operational Plan budgets. It is recommended that $1,934,267 of operational expenditure and $22,021,964 of capital expenditure be revoted. It is also recommended that $151,178 of operational revenue and $4,626,620 of capital revenue be revoted. The resulting impact on the Net Operating Result is a deterioration of $1,783,000. The adopted surplus of $1,463,000 will be impacted by this deterioration resulting in a revised budget deficit of $320,000. The monthly and quarterly budget reviews will need to be monitored closely with a view to improving this result back to a balanced net operating position.
These revotes are necessary due to a variety of reasons including timing (project spans financial years), contractual obligations, commitments or monies held aside for specific purposes. Council’s leadership teams have undergone a rigorous screening of all revotes to minimise their extent. All revotes have been considered in line with Council’s Operational Plan and the Long Term Financial Plan.
A detailed summary of revotes by Directorate is provided in the body of the report along with the implications on the 2019/20 Operational Plan budgets by Fund.
