2 Section 1. Introduction The current annual plan outlines in a more detailed and considered manner what the Department will be focusing on for the coming year and how it plans to deliver on the targets that have been set. The Annual Plan also serves as the implementation plan for the 3- year business plan and any other priorities that have been identified and will therefore need to be monitored and evaluated to assess progress against both the 3-year business plan targets and the annual targets. (Where a business plan exists) The Core Business The formation of the new city of Johannesburg has ushered in a new era in terms of administration and support services. The staff employed by the former municipal councils has been migrated to positions within the new Unicity administration. The city of Johannesburg comprises the core departments, the 11 administrative regions and the UACs (Utilities, Agencies and Corporatised Entities). The ability to establish institutional systems that effectively support the way the city of Johannesburg delivers its business is critical to the overall effectiveness of the city. The focus is primarily on developmental local government and a more customer focused approach. However a critical element of this new drive is the creation of an organisation that is performance driven. It is made up of nine sub-departments, viz., administration, corporate GIS, facilities and maintenance, human resources, legal services, occupational health and safety, valuation services, fleet and finance support. An Executive Director leads the Department with each sub-department led by a Directorate. Each of these sub-departments has specific functions/responsibilities that are associated with their particular area of management. The department manages the human resources function of the city to ensure that the transformation vision of the city around skills development, employment equity and performance management is realised. It also manages an administration that is modern, effective and visibly aids enhanced decision-making and service delivery throughout the political and administrative structures. In the implementation of the City Development Plan, the department will ensure that the legal, valuation and GIS systems for the city contribute effectively. 2

3 Legislative Compliance There are a number of legislations and policies that govern the functions of the housing department. Some of the key pieces of legislation and policies the department has to comply with are briefly outlined below: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 Act No.32 of 2000 Skills development Act 1998 Labour Relations Act Occupational Health and Safety Act Employment Equity Act of 1998 Disaster Management Act Local Government Rating Ordinance, 11 of 1977 Kwa Maritane Priorities Johannesburg has a vision of becoming a World Class African city. This goal will be obtained by increasing prosperity and service delivery through the provision of an effective and efficient support function to the core functions of the city. Agenda setting is the manner in which politicians interpret the mayoral priorities and translate these into more specific areas of focus and priorities. Kwa Maritane was the first process of agenda setting. The Kwa Maritane workshop produced a range of focus areas in relation to each mayoral priority. Following the Kwa Maritane workshop, each of the core departments started their business planning process for the next financial year (/). The priorities that emerged from Kwa Maritane were built into the planning process from two perspectives: Firstly, in terms of checking whether existing programmes and initiatives were addressing the priorities and making them explicit; Secondly, in terms of generating new programmes and initiatives in relation to the Kwa Maritane Priorities. Thirdly incorporating key performance indicators or key performance areas that will be utilised in giving effect to those particular priorities The Department of Corporate Services will play an integral role in realising these priorities and strategic outcomes. The Department aims to act as the necessary backbone for both political and administrative structures. The table below outlines briefly the key issues that directly affected the Corporate Services Department and how these will be covered in the departmental scorecard: 3

4 Priority Batho Pele: Eradication of corruption Batho Pele: Customer service monitoring Batho Pele: Staff training, development & re-orientation (focus on customer service) Batho Pele: Focus on customer service By law enforcement HIV/AIDS Key Activities/ Initiatives This is a citywide focus and would definitely apply to the Corporate Services. This focus area is linked to the training focus area. The department has identified a number of client satisfaction surveys that will assist in monitoring the level of service provided by the department. These will serve as monitoring and evaluation tools that will assist the department in improving the quality of service provided by the department The city is on a drive to improve customer service. In so doing the city will have to embark on training, with a specific focus on customer service. The corporate services department is going to embark on a training programme that has customer service training as one of its objectives for all frontline staff and also staff at the senior managerial level. The department has undertaken initiatives to enhance their systems and processes. These initiatives are geared towards addressing the need for greater service delivery excellence. Corporate services provide a support service across the city; this creates a high dependency by all the organs of the City. This necessitates a service delivery excellence approach for the department with a focus on continuous improvement, monitoring and evaluation of the quality of service it provides to the city. By-Law enforcement is one of the key priorities with regard to the creation and maintenance of a safe and secure city. The department plays a key role in providing support services to the implementing/enforcement agencies within the city. It has been tasked in the promulgation of bylaws, the establishment of municipal courts and adequately communicating promulgated by-laws through training and publications for the specific implementing agents and the broader public. HIV/AIDS is one of the world's most serious health challenges, affecting millions of women, men and children. The City of Johannesburg has identified HIV/AIDS as one of their key priorities and in meeting this challenge the city has tasked the corporate services department with the development and the successful implementation of an HIV/AIDS workplace programme. This will involve the support, monitoring, education, training, and in some instances the treatment of staff members that have been exposed to infections in the workplace. Corporate services will embark on the implementation of an HIV/AIDS workplace programme based on a policy adopted by council. 4

5 Section 2. Annual Departmental Scorecard The table below lists the departmental scorecard. It incorporates the Key Performance areas for the department. These are drawn from the departmental business plan (still to be done) and are aligned to the city scorecard, the Kwa Maritane priorities, the core business of the department and the legislative/policy obligations of the department. The KPAs are linked to indicators and targets that outline the framework against which the departments will be performance will be measured. Indicators and targets also represent a key point of departure in terms of reporting and accountability. The Scorecard also represents the framework against which detailed plans are presented. This plan reflects an undated departmental score card which includes the risks identified.

9 Section 3. Risk Assessment The Corporate Services Department underwent a process of identifying key risks that affect the department and its operations. This process involved the following activities: A facilitated discussion and brainstorming session to identify key risks per strategic objective. The draft departmental scorecard was used as a source for identifying the risks that the department faces. These risks were identified per key performance area and were split into environmental risks, operational risks and information-for-decision-making risks. Electronic voting on all the risks identified: The workshop participants underwent a process of voting for which risks were likely to have a huge impact and which risks were likely to happen. This voting was done electronically. Discussion on results of voting Discussion on current management of key risks (Controls or how these should be reflected in the departmental scorecard): During the process of the development of the departmental scorecard, the department developed key issues that will be considered in order to mitigate these risks. The scorecard then included activities that were aimed at the development of controls to deal with key risks that were identified. Risks Per Key Performance Area KPA To introduce change management strategy to facilitate redeployment of staff to follow highs/lows at pay points.

11 Section 4 Programmes The table below indicates the programmes planned for the next financial year as well as the budgetary requirements for those programmes and the shortfall if any. The process of the development of programmes was done in relation to the draft departmental scorecard.
