Each department seems to have a figure for increased income to achieve, and of course they can't include charges between departments as that would simply be robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The inference seems to be that they will do work for external bodies and get paid for it (work which they currently aren't doing!).
In the current economic climate, that sounds a more than risky strategy!

I might equire how much it would be to hire a council leader for the evening, to serve drinks at the East Lancashire Swingers and Dogger's Ball.
