THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR’S BUDGET SPEECH 31 MAY 2010.
Madam Speaker
Members of council
Ladies and gentlemen
The greatest gift to give to a community is infrastructure as long term investment but any person/ institution or organization that risks nothing, does nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing.
The 26th of May State of the District Address committed this council to strengthen all service delivery systems and appropriate tools necessary to render services in a more responsive and caring way to the communities we serve. We further committed this council to remain focused on the agreed upon Municipal Turnaround Strategy to effect good governance and sound financial management.
Madam Speaker, the audit outcomes have over the last three years indicted us with disclaimer to adverse therefore the budget we present must on the whole seek to achieve the following:
Adequate systems and skills capacity in financial management
Enhance revenue/ debt collection enforcement to recover R13 million owed and build and enhance the construction plant revenue
RESOURCE THE OBJECTIVE OF CLEAN AUDIT OUTCOMES IN 2011.
In persuit of these goals, a budget of R28.86 million of which R18m services MIG misallocation has been set aside while R9.28 million goes to service By-law enforcement, organizational review and development. Skills audit and development, performance management and integrated records management systems.
We have to deliberately build and strengthen an active citizenship participation to heighten leadership accountability.R4.2 million has been allocated to resource public participation structures and programs so that service delivery becomes a dialogue with the community.
Madam Speaker, the WSDP that covers 2008/2009 to 2012/2013 financial years has been developed and has to be continuously improved as a reliable water services resource strategy. Therefore building strong institutional systems for water conservation and demand management has become the destination of choice. Water conservation management has to be enhanced by escalating the installation of automated meter systems, adequate customer care, integrated asset infrastructure management to measure the cubic meters of water we render and account for the non metered revenue. We have set aside R 63.97million to deal with waste water and water treatment works, emergency water and host of issues above.
Madam Speaker, the green and blue drop has become a serious strategic matter to attend to. Water quality monitoring and waste water monitoring, surveillance of communicable diseases, health and hygiene dominate the policy landscape as priorities. We have allocated R5.9 million in that regard while R87m has been a necessary intervention allocated to bulk sewer connection in peri urban areas over the three year horizon.
We have to strengthen the disaster and Fire Rescue Services capacity to have adequate capability to pre-empt damage and loss of life and property in disaster or fire outbreak situations and reduce the vulnerability. Thus R11m shall go a long way to address the installation of Fire hydrants, drought relief, response, recovery and rehabilitation.
The major difference of our capital budget goes to financing the capital works in water provisioning and bulk urban and rural sanitation to achieve the universal access as per the MDG goals.
Madam Speaker, indicators to the performance of the local economy depict an economy reliant on community services on the main. The R5.64m must resource a robust SMME and Tourism development guided by the aggressive spatial planning services that dislodges the current claims and makes land available. In the same vein the review and implementation of the District Growth and Development summit outcomes remains relevant. 1
Finally, Madam Speaker mindful of the unresolved wage curve negotiation at the Bargaining Council we have made the following provisions:
10% increase for permanent employees
8% increase for contract employees
8% increase for councilors
What remains critical beyond the adoption of this budget is monitoring and reporting on its implementation.

I thank you
