Department/Savings Proposal |
2015/16 000 |
2016/17 000 |
|
Education
1 School Community Support Service The recent addition of 18 School and Family Development Workers allows for some service redesign. In addition, future planned developments may allow for further service redesign and rationalisation. It is proposed to redeploy four Education Resource Workers and delete the ERW posts.
2 Transfer All Remaining Sports Facilities and Swimming Pools in Secondary Schools and Craigowl, Fintry and St Andrews Primary Schools to Leisure and Culture Dundee This proposal will achieve consistency with the model adopted for the PPP schools and will generate a saving in the overall non-domestic rates bill for the school estate.
3 Restructure of Young Mum's Unit (Menzieshill High School) It is proposed to restructure the Young Mums Unit (YMU) at Menzieshill High School. A senior post will be removed and the current post holder redeployed. The YMU will continue to be managed by the school Head Teacher supported by central officers until the restructure is completed.

Social Work
1 Further Rationalisation of Former Family Support Centres (Report No 81-2015) In 2013 the Social Work Department amalgamated family support functions into locality based care and assessment teams therefore ceasing to provide a standalone family support service. As a result, there is no longer a need to have the same spread of community facing Family Support Centres. The centres are now mainly used as venues where looked after and accommodated children have contact with their families. Increasingly the best practice model for service delivery is through co-location with partner agencies. A number of opportunities are currently being explored. There is capacity to move the functions currently undertaken at Bruce Street into the Lochee facility which could deliver the service. Staff would continue to have access to the office facilities at Dudhope Castle for administrative tasks.

City Development
1 Develop a City Marketing Bond and Attract Private Sector Support The City Marketing Bond is an opportunity for companies and organisations to become leading proactive city advocates as members of the City Marketing Campaign. This mechanism is used elsewhere in the UK to great effect. With contributions dependant on the number of employees, companies will be asked to publicly support the positive promotion of the City by purchasing a Bond/ Membership which will allows access to and use of a wide range marketing collateral. This will mobilise the wider business community in a way not achieved previously.
2 Carbon Reduction Commitment Tax In addition to direct energy costs, the Council requires to pay the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) tax in relation to its energy consumption. In light of reducing energy consumption and the opportunity to purchase credits in advance (and thereby secure a lower tariff price), it is possible to reduce the 2015/2016 budget provision for the CRC tax by 54,000.
3 Transfer of Road Maintenance/Street Lighting Revenue Budgets to the Capital Plan A review of the existing revenue budgets for Road Maintenance and Street Lighting has highlighted some items of planned work that are of a capital nature. It is therefore proposed to transfer these items (total 412k) to the Councils Capital Plan and achieve a corresponding saving in the Revenue Budget. Additional loan charges of 27k per annum will be incurred.

Environment
1 Major Service Redesign and Rationalisation of Ground Maintenance and Street Cleansing Operations The proposed savings in 2015/2016 will be derived from a reduction of the nine "three-man" crews to "two-man" crews on various routes. Future year savings will be derived through a comprehensive review and rationalisation of ground maintenance and street cleaning functions and wider integration of activity.
2 Rationalisation of Charges for Non-Domestic Commercial Waste Disposal It is proposed to introduce a charge for registered charities (including Housing Associations) for the non-household waste element of any waste delivered to the Baldovie Recycling and Waste Treatment facility. At present approximately 1,600 tonnes of charity waste is dealt with by the Council free of charge, of which an unknown proportion would be classified as "non-household". A further analysis will be undertaken although it is conservatively estimated that some 300 tonnes is "non-household" waste and this forms the basis of the saving proposed. This proposal would not impact upon charity shops dealing with household materials.
3 Review of Bowling Green Provision (Report No 82-2015) It is proposed to close two of the least used bowling greens, at Baxter Park and Victoria Park, and that further work is done to develop the sport at the remaining seven bowling greens in the City.

1 Advertising on Council Digital Media (Report No 83-2015) It is proposed that the Council joins the Council Advertising Network (CAN). CAN attracts digital advertising contracts from main advertising agencies for mainly blue chip companies (household names) and these appear on a rotating banner on the website/intranet that will appear on each page. The Council receives income based on the number of web page views.

Corporate
1 Review of Long-Term Empty Property Discount Revised policy agreed by Policy and Resources Committee on 8th December, 2014 (Report No 440-2014 refers). The additional income in 2015/2016 equates to an increase in the gross Council Tax base of 96 Band D equivalent properties.
2 Transfer of Properties at Shore Terrace and Box Office to Leisure and Culture Dundee This proposal will achieve consistency with the model adopted for other leisure/ cultural facilities and will generate a saving in the overall non-domestic rates bill.
3 Review of Council Tax Base In light of an increased number of properties evident in the current level of billing, it is possible to increase the gross Council Tax base by 449 Band D equivalent properties.
4 Administration of Free School Meals/School Clothing It is possible to achieve efficiencies in the administration of free school meals and school clothing grants. This will move the function to the Revenues Division to simplify the entitlement process.
5 Transfer an Element of the Schools PPP Unitary Charge to the Capital Plan An element of the Schools PPP Unitary Charge relates to expenditure of a capital nature. It is proposed to transfer 500k to the Councils Capital Plan and achieve a corresponding saving in the Revenue Budget.
6 Schools ICT Capital Budget Reduction A number of factors have been identified which provide an opportunity to reduce the financial commitment for one year. These factors include: consistency of PC manufacturer leading to increased reliability and lengthened lifecycle expectation, historically low cost of purchase, and a recent refresh of primary school servers.
7 Procurement Savings The Councils Procurement Strategy will deliver further revenue savings totalling 280k per annum. This will involve more efficient use of existing contracts and frameworks and will protect the community benefits built into the tendering process for these.
