MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

DAU 5 proposes to Local Authorities that urban development through Municipal Management Companies enables them to optimise and simplify their daily management and fulfil municipal responsibilities by simple and efficient management and planning.

A Municipal Private Company (SPM) is a form of direct civil service management. We say that it is a kind of direct management because the holder of 100% of the shares, and so owner of the company, is the Local Authority.  

The aim of an SPM in this case should be the development of land - belonging to the company or not - and in general intervention in the real-estate market.   What justifies this competition with the private sector is the public interest in planning execution and in avoiding speculated withholdings of land.   

How does it work?

1- By assessing municipal value and determining the maximum amount of finance needed.

2- Gradual financing, even before a municipal property comes into being, by means of a collective agreement guaranteeing accelerated development and execution of town planning.

3- Possibility of assigning the advanced funds only to the public action established by the Local Authority.

4- At the same time, assignment to the SPM of the planning and execution of the same.

5-   Once the resulting property is created, new value assessment of the property obtained to calculate the difference in value.

Advantages of a private municipal company

•  Greater flexibility in managing land ownership.

•  Possibility of contracting or outsourcing technical services without creating new local Authority posts.

•  Possibility of receiving mortgage loans.

•  Possibility of VAT deduction in municipal construction.

•  Possibility of releasing the budget from the burden of civil works, being executed by the SPM instead.

•  Enjoying the benefit of a 99% rebate on the company tax base.

•  Integral municipal capital, in other words: Local Authority control.

In conclusion, we should not wait until a plan is finished to think about what we will do with the equipment.
