funded from MIG Capital Grant allocation made to municipalities. Municipalities are expected to submit a PMU Business Plan as w ell as Project Based Business Plans to Province for approval and ratification by DPLG. It is the requirement of MIG that municipalities should meet a number of founding conditions, including: • Conformity w ith IDPs; • Limitations on operational spending; • Adequate attention to rehabilitation; • No pledging of funds to secure loan finance; • Achievement of specified basic service coverage targets; and • Poverty alleviation. There are specific conditions that apply to select sectors. Each sector may, further to the founding conditions, establish sector specific conditions. • Department of Public Works - A minimum of 10% of all projects related to rural roads, low volume municipal roads (less than 500 vehicles per day), pipelines, trenches and sidew alks have to be conducted in a labour intensive manner in terms of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) guidelines issued by the Department of Public Works. The proportion of these types of projects to be done by hand w ill increase to 80% by 2008/2009. - To issue contracts for projects of the above type only to consulting engineers and contractors who are qualified in managing labour intensive projects. • Department of Transport - The development of road infrastructure to poor households that w ould create access to trade, local economic development and essential services and to promote road safety. It is therefore critical that the SDM position itself to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by MIG. 16.4 Additional Funding Measures The DPLG project that the provision of basic services to all communities w ill only be achieved by 2040 at the current rate of service delivery. The projections by the Medium Term Expenditure Framew ork are worse: communities w ill receive adequate services only in 2065. These daunting challenges of service delivery cannot be met through state intervention only but through a sustained collaboration betw een the state and the private sector. It is against this backdrop that the concepts of Municipal Service Partnerships (MSPs) and Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) w ere born. The Gautrain is an example of a PPP currently underw ay, and SANRAL also uses PPP’s to maintain and expand the national road netw ork. Attempts, through the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Unit (MIIU), are being made to explore the potential of PPPs being applied in the broader scale of providing basic services to communities. The Unit has started w ith examining the role of PPPs on the provision of municipal public transport services and infrastructure. The SDM must interact w ith the Unit. SDM w ill explore some other additional funding sources and mechanis ms, such as: SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 214 31 Aug 2010
• Engineering Services Contributions:For any land development application certain engineering service contributions are payable to local government. The Tow n-planning and Tow nships Ordinance (15 of 1986) makes provision for these contributions. Distinction is made betw een internal and external engineering services, and this only applies to the external services. No contributions for public transport are levied. • Impact Requirements:These charges are imposed on developers to compensate for the impact of their projects on the road netw ork. This does not contribute significantly to road netw ork improvement. • Planning Gain:Planning gain, also know n as ‘value capture’ or ‘development gain’, is w here a developer is granted permission for a development subject only to certain conditions being met. This principle may be applied successfully to the provision of public transport facilities at, for example, large shopping centres. • Municipal Bonds:Municipal bonds are based on the so-called bond insurance fund by the development Bank of South Africa. This allows municipalities to raise capital in order to pay for public projects such as roads and other infrastructure.These bonds must be serviced and it requires dedicated revenue streams. The relevance of these bonds relate to the fact that projects can be financed outside the capital budget of council. • Tax Increment Financing:Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is based upon the premise that public improvements promote developments in areas surrounding them, thereby increasing property tax revenues. Projected increases in property tax revenues are then used to back bonds w ith w hich the public improvements are financed, or alternatively annual increments of tax revenue are deposited into a fund dedicated to improvements w ithin the TIF district. • Special Benefit Assessment Rates:This approach is based on the premise that some or all the costs associated w ith public improvement should be borne by properties w ithin a well-defined area benefiting from the project. This rate is an additional charge over-and-above the normal property rates and taxes. • Donor Funding:Donor funding is provided by the donor community for specific projects or programmes. International agencies or institutions generally provide donor funding. • Private Finance Initiatives:This is also described as public-private partnerships (PPP’s) w ith the emphasis of using private finance to fund municipal activities or projects. A PPP is defined as a formal relationship within w hich the public and private sector partners look for a w in-w in solution tow ards a common goal that w ould be to ensure the delivery of public/municipal services at an agreed price and length of time w ith each party benefiting from the transaction in an appropriate manner. At local level PPP’s are sometimes referred to as municipal service partnerships. • Commercial Enterprises:This approach implies that certain transport services or facilities, or parts of those facilities or services, can be operated on a commercial basis w ith income potential. • Congestion Pricing:A congestion charge is aimed at discouraging the use of the road by those w ho are not w illing to pay the charge. The objective is to discourage road use at some sites and at specific times. These charges can then be used to provide improved public transport services. • Road Taxes:Road taxes are taxes that are linked to the municipal rates and taxes. This implies it is to be paid on a monthly basis by all property owners. This additional tax is then used to construct road infrastructure. SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 215 31 Aug 2010
