Performance Bonuses : between 0 and 14% of overall package Top slice equitable share and LRG by R85 million for internally funded projects Allocated available budget in the same ratio as the prior year R10 million for vacancies – critical posts R2.8 million for movable capital requirements Funding envelopes initially based on prior year expenditure patterns but due to significant deficit changed basis to current year expenditure and cut further The draft tariffs for 2015/16 will only be increased by 6%, in line with the average inflation and the maximum growth set by National Treasury ADM has adopted the balanced budget principle to ensure sustainability (i.e. expenditure must equal income) Expenditure requirements need to be tailored to fit available revenue streams DORB 2015 Growth from 2014 Prior Year Income Comparison Income 2015/16 Prior Year Expenditure Comparison Expenditure 2015/16 Analysis of 15/16 Budget • • • • • • • • 62% of 15/16 total income is Grant funding, which must be ring fenced for specific functions (R1.2 billion) Core function of providing Water & Sanitation in the form of service charges only contributes 12% towards income base Depreciation, Leave Redemption Provision, Bad Debt Provision and Post Retirement benefits amount to R398 million – this exceeds the amount in reserves, so the requirement that these should be cash backed cannot be met Past consumer payment trends have resulted in a need to provide for 80% of the debt book as a provision for bad debts 32% of overall expenditure is committed to salaries and salary related costs If the grant funding is excluded, the percentage increases to 79% Committed to paying R33.6 million for interest on the DBSA loan and R20 million for new financial system The tariffs for 2015/16 are not cost reflective as budgeted salary costs, bulk water and electricity all increased beyond the inflation level 2015/16 Tariff Increases • The draft tariffs for 2015/16 will only be increased by 6%, which is in line with the average inflation and the maximum growth set by National Treasury • The tariffs for 2015/16 are not cost reflective as budgeted salary costs, bulk water and electricity all
