19 Overview of LG in SA There are 3 categories of municipalities Category A - Big cities/metropolitan areas Category B - Local municipalities Category C Combinations of Bs Powers and functions 19
20 Service delivery responsibilities of LG Core/essential services supporting residents Water and sanitation Electricity/Energy Refuse removal Firefighting Stormwater mngt in built-up areas Cemetries Cleansing Local amenities and sport facilities Municipal parks and recreation Street lighting Municipal roads Traffic and parking Developmental services supporting business Most of residential services Municipal planning Building regulations Trading regulations Licensing and control of undertakings that sell food and liquor to public Environmental health Markets and municipal abattoirs Local tourism Municipal public transport Air pollution Billboards 20
21 Categorisation of municipalities Local Government consist of Category A municipality has exclusive municipal executive and legislative authority in its areas (x6) densely populated (ave 2.5m people), economic hubs, self reliant, large budgets up to R20b A Category B municipality shares municipal executive and legislative authority in its area with a category C municipality within whose area it falls (x231) Varying population sizes and budgets B C Category C municipality has municipal executive and legislative authority in an area that includes more than one municipality (x46) Approx. 5 locals in each district B B B B B B C 21
22 Division of powers and functions Allocation of own resources Property taxes allocated to categories A and B User charges i.t.o municipality authorised for services Equitable Share and conditional grants (incl infrastructure) Aligned to functional division i.r.o water, sanitation, electricity, refuse removal, municipal roads and environmental health Some mismatches remain between services and fiscal division Category B munies allocated limited functions receive property rates Category C munies with substantial functional responsibilities mainly reliant on grant financing 22
23 Progress in service delivery Population of 44,8m (2001 Census) Population grew by 10,4% from 1996 to 2001 Highest population growths in urban areas Municipalities responsible to address historical backlogs as well as service delivery needs due to an increasing population Access to services 70% of households had access to electricity in 2001 (58% in 96 Census) 72% of HHs had access to water in 2001 (70% in 96 Census) 54% of HHs had access to flush or chemical toilet (50% in 96 Census) 55% of HHs had access to refuse removal (51% in 96 Census) Target is to address water backlogs by 2008, electricity by 2010, sanitation by 2013, and remainder by 2013 Poor households to receive Free Basic Services Varying progress by municipalities 23
24 Evolvement of LG fiscal system Various reforms to LG fiscal system Reforms to both equitable share and infrastructure grants Substantial increases made to transfers in acknowledgement of local government s large service delivery responsibilities Reforms to own resources The aggregate size of municipal budgets have doubled over the past five years, from R64b in 01/02 to R132b in 06/07 Large variances in budgets of the 283 municipalities Metro Size of metro budgets range between R3b and R18b Average of 2,4 million people per metro ( HHs) A third of population resides in metros (which increases to half the population if Top 21 municipalities are included) Limited reliance on transfers Local municipalities Budgets range from very small (below R10m) to substantial (R2b) Populations also vary substantially from just below households per municipality to households per municipality Reliance on transfers vary District municipalities Budgets range between just below R10m to approx. R400m Reliance on transfers vary 24

27 Municipal financial mngt and reforms Municipal budget reforms introduced under the Municipal Finance Management Act from 1 July 2004, based on following principles Promoting sound financial governance by clarifying roles and responsibilities of council and officials Ensuring a strategic approach to budgeting Modernisation of financial management Promoting co-operative and consultative governance Promoting sustainable local government MFMA s financial and fiscal reforms include New budget standards and formats (the objective is to achieve qaulity and credible multi-year budgets) The establishment of audit committees and internal controls Improvements to procurement and supply chain management processes Performance measurement and reporting Staff competency levels Mechanisms to resolve financial problems Procedures to determine and manage misconduct 27
28 Future issues / Way forward LG fiscal framework to be reviewed and updated to account for Current financial position and service delivery capabilities of various categories and types of municipalities Alignment between functional and fiscal division of powers and functions between category A and B municipalities Permanent replacement options for RSC and JSB levies that were abolished 1 July 2006 Funding of district municipalities Continued review of the LG equitable share formula Capital finance and borrowing issues, including role of MIG Proper alignment between cross-cutting functions required, including priority setting, resource allocation and implementation of services (housing, public transport, health, libraries, etc) Sector reforms impacting on municipal finances (electricity and water) When Municipal Fiscal Powers and Functions legislation is enacted Setting norms and standards i.r.o. municipal surcharges Evaluate requests for new municipal taxes 28
29 Structure of Formula The LG formula has the following components: Grant = Basic Services (BS) + Development (D) + Institutional Support (I) - Revenue Raising (RRC) +/- Stabilisation Constraint (C) D will be set at zero for now 29
30 Some remaining challenges IGR system Coordination in respect of concurrent functions Tension between cooperative relations vs legislated relations Division of powers and functions may require minor adjustments Very wide variations among our municipalities pose challenges for policy development and resource allocation Implementation of certain programmes is slow, often due to inadequate capacity Output or performance information is not readily available, thus affecting: Policy making, planning and resource allocation Assessment of progress with policy implementation and the impact of policies 30
31 Key priorities under provincial sphere Reduce poverty and unemployment Skills development Better national health Economic priorities: Growth Second economy Welfare services +EPWP+ housing GET+FET Strengthening of health sector Planning + Public investment + execution Roads + other projects EPWP + BBBEE 31
32 What is at issue here? The debate on coordination/cooperative relations is about: what the law prescribes and allows Legal authority to make decisions Boundaries and limitations what amount of choices are allowed to provinces what choices do they make what effect do provincial choices have on attainment of national objectives/priorities what tools can national use to influence provincial choices 32
33 Types of decisions and degree of provincial choice and discretion National decides policies and funding mechanism The nature of decision and funding mechanism determine degree of provincial choice/discretion Statutory expenditure and CG funding leave little choice/discretion for provinces ES and non-statutory expenditure leaves lot of room for provincial choices, discretion and risk of deviation from national goals 33
34 The nature of the problem National government makes the ff charges: Provincial budgets fail to give effect to national priorities that inform the DOR Consequently: Insistence on CGs Calls for broader curtailment of provincial choices and discretion Assertions that cooperative governance does not work Etc 34
35 Provincial counterarguments National priorities: Ignore province-specific circumstances Do not accommodate non-social services Policy disagreement Past funding levels and expenditure trends Capacity constraints and readiness to spend Do not provide for full cost of policies Disagreements on appropriate funding level 35
36 Where can things go wrong? Within the sector Poor policy processes Between line departments and treasuries Within provincial executives Between national and provinces Vertical division of revenue Inadequate resources for non-social service Insufficient funds for a given priority 36
37 Possible solutions Deepening of policy making process Including coordination between Cabinet and EXCOs Protocol for communicating national policies with funding implications for provinces Formal discussion of policies at PCC and Makgotla preceded by in-depth discussion in provinces Strengthening of budget processes Costing of policies must be mandatory Creation of space for bottom up identification of priorities Adherence to spirit of cooperative governance Reviewing the intergovernmental system Less provinces Greater implementation role for national government? Municipalities 37
