    1.1. Councilresolutions

    On 20 March 2013 the Council of the Msunduzi Local Municipality met in the Council Chambers of Msunduzi City Hall to consider the draft annual budget for the financial year 2013/14 and the two outer years.

    At this meeting it was resolved that:

    a) the Draft Budget 2013/14 to 2015/16 be approved.

    b) the Municipal Manager be mandated to submit the Draft Budget to the National and Provincial Treasuries as well as the Provincial Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA).

    1.2. executiveSummary

    The application of sound financial management principles for the compilation of the Citys financial plan is essen-tial and critical to ensure that the City remains financially viable and that municipal services are provided sustain-ably, economically and equitably to all communities.

    The Citys business and service delivery priorities were reviewed as part of this years planning and budget process. Where appropriate, funds were transferred from low- to high-priority programmes so as to maintain sound financial stewardship. A critical review was also undertaken of expenditures on noncore and nice to have items.

    The City has embarked on implementing a range of revenue collection strategies to optimize the collection of debt owed by consumers. Furthermore, the City has undertaken various customer care initiatives to ensure the municipality truly involves all citizens in the process of ensuring a people lead government.

    National Treasurys MFMA Circulars No. 51, 54, 55, 58, 59 and 67 were used to guide the compilation of the 2013/14 MTREF.

    The main challenges experienced during the compilation of the 2013/14 MTREF can be summarized as follows:

    Theongoingdifficultiesinthenationalandlocaleconomy; Agingandpoorlymaintainedwater,roadsandelectricityinfrastructure; Theneedtoreprioritizeprojectsandexpenditurewithintheexistingresourceenvelopegiventhecashflow

    criticalvacancies; Affordabilityofcapitalprojectsoriginalallocationshadtobereducedandtheoperationalexpenditure

    associated with prior years capital investments needed to be factored into the budget as part of the 2013/14 MTREF process. The following budget principles and guidelines directly informed the compilation of the 2013/14 MTREF:

In addition, tariffs need to remain or move towards being cost reflective, and should take into account the need to address infrastructure back-logs;

In these tough economic times strong revenue management is fun-damental to the financial sustainability of every municipality. The reality is that we are faced with development backlogs and poverty. The expenditure required to address these challenges will inevitably always exceed avail-ablefunding;hencedifficultchoiceshavetobemadeinrelationtotariffincreasesandbalancingexpendituresagainst realistically anticipated revenues.

    The municipalitys revenue strategy is built around the following key components:

    Tariff-setting is a pivotal and strategic part of the compilation of any budget. When rates, tariffs and other charges were revised, local economic conditions, input costs and the affordability of services were taken into account to ensure the financial sustainability of the City.

    The percentage increase of Eskom bulk tariff is beyond the mentioned inflation target. Given that this tariff increase is determined by an external agency, the impact it has on the municipalitys electricity cost is largely outside the control of the City. Discounting the impact of this price increase in lower consumer tariffs will erode the Citys future financial position and viability.

    It must also be appreciated that the consumer price index, as measured by CPI, is not a good measure of the cost increases of goods and services relevant to municipalities. The basket of goods and services utilized for the calculation of the CPI consist of items such as food, petrol and medical services, whereas the cost drivers of a mu-nicipality are informed by items such as the cost of remuneration, bulk purchases of electricity and water, petrol, diesel, chemicals, cement etc. The current challenge facing the City is managing the gap between cost drivers and tariffs levied, as any shortfall must be made up by either operational efficiency gains or service level reduc-tions. Within this framework the City has undertaken the tariff setting process relating to service charges as follows.

    Property Rates

    Property rates cover the cost of the provision of general services. Determining the effective property rate tariff is therefore an integral part of the municipalitys budgeting process.

    National Treasurys MFMA Circular No. 51 deals, inter alia with the implementation of the Municipal Property Rates Act, with the regulations issued by the Department of Co-operative Governance. The regulations prescribing the rate ratio for the non-residential categories, public service infrastructure and agricultural properties relative to resi-dential properties to be 0,25:1 came into effect on 1 July 2009, whilst the rate ratio for Public Benefit Organizations came into effect on 1 July 2010. The implementation of these regulations was done in the previous budget process and the Property Rates Policy of the Municipality has been amended accordingly.

    Sale of Water and Impact of Tariff Increases

    South Africa faces similar challenges with regard to water supply as it did with electricity, since demand growth outstrips supply. Consequently, National Treasury is encouraging all municipalities to carefully review the level and structure of their water tariffs to ensure:

    Watertariffsarestructuredtoprotectbasiclevelsofserviceandensuretheprovisionoffreewatertothepoor-estofthepoor(indigent);and

    Watertariffsaredesignedtoencourageefficientandsustainableconsumption.

    In addition National Treasury has urged all municipalities to ensure that water tariff structures are cost reflective by 2014.

    Better maintenance of infrastructure, new dam construction and cost-reflective tariffs will ensure that the supply challenges are managed in future to ensure sustainability. Umgeni Water has increased its bulk tariffs with 8.3 per cent from 1 July 2013.

    Umgeni Water has undertaken a critical assessment of its capital infrastructure requirements. The assessment indicates that Umgeni Waters current infrastructure is unlikely to sustain its long-term ability to supply water and they had no other choice but to enter capital markets to raise R1.6 billion for infrastructure upgrades, hence the significant increase in the bulk cost of water.

    A tariff increase of 10 per cent for all categories from 1 July 2013 for water is proposed. This is based on input cost assumptions of 8.3 per cent increase in the cost of bulk water (Umgeni Water).

    1.2.2. SaleofelectricityandImpactofTariffIncreases

    NERSA has announced the revised bulk electricity pricing structure. A 7.0 per cent increase in the Eskom bulk elec-tricity tariff to municipalities will be effective from 1 July 2013. Considering the Eskom increases, the consumer tariff had to be increased by 10 per cent to offset the additional bulk purchase cost from 1 July 2013.

    The inadequate electricity bulk capacity and the impact on service delivery and development remains a chal-lenge for the City. The upgrading of the Citys electricity network has therefore become a strategic priority, espe-cially the substations and transmission lines.

    Owing to the high increases in Eskoms bulk tariffs, it is clearly not possible to fund these necessary upgrades through increases in the municipal electricity tariff as the resultant tariff increases would be unaffordable for the consumers. As part of the 2013/14 medium-term capital programme, funding has been allocated to electricity in-frastructure but these funding levels will require further investigation as part of the next budget cycle in an attempt to source more funding to ensure this risk is mitigated.
