APPENDIX I
ADMINISTRATION GROUP
|
Department/Savings Proposal |
2014/2015 000 |
2015/2016 000 |
|
Education
1. Staff Changes and Efficiency Savings (Report No 101-2014) It is proposed that a saving will be achieved through staffing changes in the Early Years and Primary sectors and through efficiencies in the secondary sector.
2. Central Team Secondments The central team within the education department currently includes the following two seconded posts:-
- 1 Quality Improvement Officer (Secondary) - 1 Staff Tutor
The Quality Improvement Officer post will become vacant at the end of March, 2014. The secondment of the current Staff Tutor will end in November, 2014. These posts will not be replaced and the removal of both team members will offer a significant saving in both the part year and full year periods. This will result in a part year saving of 81,000 in financial year 2014/2015 and a full year saving of 115,000 in 2015/2016.
The secondary QIO team will reduce from four to three members and their individual remits will be reviewed. The recently implemented quality improvement framework and the revised extended review programme have been designed in such a way as to actively involve head teachers in the quality assurance process as peer reviewers during annual reviews, attainment reviews and extended reviews. The Staff Tutor has worked closely with the central team and schools to promote and develop assessment procedures and moderation activities to ensure consistent approaches to the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence across each sector. This work is now embedded across the city and is enhanced through the range of Education Scotland materials and the National Assessment Resource.
3. Continuous Professional Development Budget (Report No 102-2014) It is proposed to reduce the budget for Continuous Professional Development.
4. Energy Consumption The annual departmental revenue budget for energy costs is 3m. Given the need to identify and achieve savings in financial year 2014/2015, one option for consideration is a city wide initiative to reduce energy costs across the school estate. The initiative would involve staff, pupils and school users and would be linked directly to the curriculum and the Scottish Eco schools programme. The intention would be a reduction in energy usage of 5% in 2014/2015 and if successful rising to 10% in 2015/2016. This would represent a saving of 150,000 in financial year 2014/2015 and 300,000 from 2015/2016. All school establishments would be involved and would benefit from:-

|
|
- support and input from the council?s energy management team to provide advice on energy saving practices; and - the provision of regular energy reports showing usage and the level of saving being achieved.
|
|
|
|
Social Work
1. Adult Services: Increasing the Capacity of Locally Based Care And Support Services (Report No 103-2014) It is proposed that savings will be achieved through the review of out of area placements for all adults and young people with additional support needs and from the further development of Social Work and Health resources for individuals with challenging behaviour/complex needs, including the development of more local care provision.
2. Maximising the Use of Resources for Older People (Report No 104-2014) It is proposed to implement financial guidelines which will maximise the use of resources within Older Peoples Services and enable more older people to remain at home.
3. Implementation of Electronic Monitoring System for Home Care Services The Social Work Department is currently in the process of implementing an electronic monitoring and scheduling system for home care services funded by the Older People?s Change Fund. This is anticipated to deliver efficiencies in relation to the provision of external and in-house home care services. These efficiencies will free up capacity within direct care service provision which will be used to contribute to meet increasing demand pressures as a result of an increasingly frail elderly population. In addition, the electronic monitoring, payment and scheduling systems will lead to a reduction in administration and organising costs and it is anticipated that this will achieve a reduction in expenditure of approximately 200,000 in a full financial year (100,000 in 2014/2015). This will be achieved through a combination of a reduction in the number of Administrative and Social Care Organiser posts required following full implementation of the scheme although at this stage of implementation it is not possible to determine the exact number of posts which could be reduced. Reductions in posts would be achieved through early retirement opportunities and natural turnover.

City Development
1. Demolition of Environment HQ Clepington Road It is proposed to partially close the building in 2014/2015 with full closure to follow. Staff are being relocated to the refurbished East Wing of City Square and other city locations.

|
Environment
1. Redesign of Planting and Maintenance Standards (Report No 105-2014) It is proposed to redesign and amend various planted areas across the city and to reduce the associated maintenance regimes.
|
25 |
50 |
|
2. Review Model for Dundee Flower and Food Festival (Report No 106-2014) It is proposed to achieve savings to reduce the burden to the Council in the delivery of the Dundee Flower and Food Festival.
3. Reduction of Core Maintenance Staff In response to a reduced workload for Grounds Maintenance in the Winter months, it is proposed to reduce the core staffing levels. However, in order to meet the Summer workload commitment there will be a need to enhance staffing levels during this period and supplement the existing Seasonal pool who are employed during the Summer months.
It is therefore proposed to reduce the core staff for Grounds Maintenance by eight FTE?s but at the same time, employ an additional eight Seasonal staff during the Summer months.
The net saving from this proposal, for financial year 2014/2015, is 120,000. The reduction in core staff can be delivered through the Voluntary Early Retirement Scheme.
4. Rationalisation of Litter Removal Operations (Report No 107-2014) It is proposed that savings will achieved through a rationalisation and integration of the various litter removal operations in streets, parks and areas of open space.

Chief Executive
1. Future Delivery of Community Learning and Development in Dundee (Report No 108-2014) A review has been undertaken of the delivery of the Community Learning and Development Service, together with an option appraisal exercise on the most appropriate service delivery model. Several service re-structuring proposals are made aimed at maintaining service quality standards at the same time as delivering budget savings.
2. Proposals for Future of Printing Services (Report No 109-2014) It is proposed to implement measures to ensure that the future printing requirements of the Council are addressed in the most efficient way.

Corporate
1. Changing for the Future - New VER/VR Schemes Staff costs savings arising from the previously agreed re‑introduction of VER/VR schemes for teachers and other staff.
2. Reduction in Third Party Payments (Report No 112-2014) It is proposed to implement a 3% reduction in third party payments to organisations that receive total funding from the Council in excess of 100,000 per annum.
3. Fees for Use of Credit Cards (Report No 113-2014) It is proposed that a standard 1.5% charge is levied on all credit card payments, resulting in a saving of 43,000. Changes in systems have allowed a reduction in charge rates, generating a further saving of 7,000.
4. Efficiency Savings in Learning and Working Development/Training It is proposed to implement efficiency savings of 10% (64,000) of current Learning and Workforce Development/Training budgets across Council departments.
In January, 2013, following a CFTF review, departments transferred 10% of their training budgets (114K) into the Corporate Services HR Division budget to support the Modern Apprenticeship Programme and corporate training delivered by the Corporate Learning and Workforce Development Service. It was agreed that the Social Work Learning and Workforce Development Manager would also manage the Corporate Learning and Workforce Development Service.
Since then, the Learning and Workforce Development Service has created additional capacity across the Council by exploring and implementing consistency of approaches to reduce duplication and promote efficiencies. Substantial progress has been made in the development of e-learning and technology solutions enabling more training to be delivered effectively and at lower cost. Further savings can be achieved via shared services with neighbouring local authorities, local universities and colleges and NHS Tayside. Determination of the most appropriate delivery models for the various types of training is underway, including shared delivery with operational staff.
