egan operation in January 2011 not only increases the types of testing but should attract people from outside of the Ulundi municipal area. DEBTORS’ MANAGEMENT The Municipality continues to be faced with the challenge of non payment for rates and services (electricity within its license area and refuse removal). This has impacted severely on the cash flow of the Municipality which in turn has hampered the effective operation of the Directorates that deal with communities. During the 2012 / 2013 financial year the Municipality, through the Budget and Treasury Office, has purposed to reduce the level of outstanding debtors‟ to R 60 million from its current level of approximately R 100 million. One of the primary reasons for increase in arrear residential debtor accounts is the interest charge levied on the amount owed. An item was submitted to EXCO and the Council of the Municipality in terms of which provision is made to write off the interest charge as an incentive for arrear residential debtors to settle their outstanding accounts (this applies to residential debtors only). Any interest write-off is conditional on payment being effected of outstanding capital owed. The effect of the implementation of this measure would be to reduce the amount of the debtors‟ balance while at the same time unlocking cash flow from arrear capital amounts owed. This initiative was brought to the attention of the <strong>KZN</strong> Department of Cooperative Governance and the Provincial Treasury in September 2011 to ensure that there is no appearance of any irregularity; however, to date there has been no response from the provincial authorities. The process of replacing all of the conventional electricity meters as well as the old prepaid electricity meters with prepaid meters that feature a more advanced technology has not had the desired effect of reducing electricity losses and reducing the payment made to Eskom. The Municipality has undertaken a significant debtor collection initiative which is designed to provide strategic focus on the reduction of outstanding debtor balances and thereby releasing additional cash flow that can be beneficially applied to the service delivery imperatives of the Municipality. ASSET MANAGEMENT All of the vehicles operated by the Ulundi Municipality are financed in terms of a full maintenance finance lease arrangement; the Municipality is required to include all of these vehicles in its insurance portfolio on an annual basis. The Municipality has a fully updated and compliant fixed asset register in place. A service provider has been 108
contracted to provide security and access control at a number of municipal premises, including all of the municipal offices. OPERATIONAL AND CAPITAL BUDGET The operational and capital budget of the Municipality for the MTEF period commencing with the 2012 / 2013 financial year was approved by the Council of the Municipality on 31 May 2012 in accordance with the prescripts of the legislation. A summary of the operational and capital budget for both the MTEF period and specifically for the 2012 / 2013 financial year forms part of the Financial Plan included in this <strong>IDP</strong> Review document. Revenue The table below reflects budgeted revenue in respect of the 2012 / 2013 financial year Directorate Own Revenue Grant Revenue Total Revenue Office of the Municipal Manager 0 800 000 800 000 Corporate Services 650 000 5 754 000 6 404 000 Financial Services 17 865 500 73 977 000 91 542 500 Community Services 4 913 500 1 236 000 6 149 500 Technical Services 65 639 000 34 700 000 100 339 000 Protection Services 5 100 000 0 5 100 000 Total 94 168 000 116 467 000 210 635 000 The following comments are pertinent with regard to budgeted revenue for the 2012 / 2013 financial year: • The Municipality is heavily reliant on grant funding for its operations; of the total revenue budget 55.3% is derived from operational and capital grants while only 44.7% is generated from the rendering of services. • Capital grant funding emanates from two sources – the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) from which the allocation in respect of the 2012 / 2013 financial year amounts to R 26 700 000 and the Integrated National Electrification Fund from which an amount of R 8 000 000 is expected • The primary operational grant is the Equitable Share allocation which amounts to R 78 231 000 for the 2012 / 2013 financial year; 37.1% of the total revenue budget for the Municipality for the year • Revenue generation from the Technical Services Directorate is the highest among the directorates that comprise the structure of the Municipality – 47.8% of total budgeted revenue is generated by this Directorate. In addition to the two capital grants that make up 34.6% of the budgeted revenue of the Technical Services Directorate, the other primary revenue source is the sale of electricity by prepaid 109
