3.1.1.4 The above table highlights that the Council has underspent against budget estimates,

with funds being transferred into specific Earmarked Reserves as suitable and outstanding balances being transferred to the General Fund. This has resulted in the following usable revenue reserve balances as at 31 March 2015:

• General Fund: £3,561,000 • Earmarked Reserves: £2,244,000

3.1.2 Salaries 3.1.2.1 APPENDIX 1 provides details of the salary budgets and actual expenditure as at the

end of the 2014 / 15 financial year. This demonstrates an underspend of over £180,000. This exceeds the original budget vacancy allowance of £70,000 (equivalent to 1% of all staffing budgets).

3.1.2.2 The underspend relates to a number of vacancies during 2014 /15 and also some

changes brought about as part of the Senior Management Restructure. 3.1.3 Major Sources of Income 3.1.3.1 The Council is dependent upon a number of large income sources in order to balance

the budget. The following table details the main income budgets and income received for the 2014 / 15 financial year.
