Any problems? The position of the Sponsors in the water sector has already been presented in the quotations at the start of this presentation. The Bank is getting anxious about the consumer, his relationship with the Mayor, the tariff negotiation mechanism and the impact on the availability payment. But what about the Mayor?

PPP is the art of allocating risk for any given service provision to the party within a project team most suitably qualified to manage that risk
56
The Mayor Not looking forward to ongoing negotiation on tariff to support the availability payment Constraints on public spending prevent direct contracting of capital works projects EU Accession requirements necessitate the proposed expenditure in order to comply with environmental directives Typically, any Mayor faces the need to authorise capital works on water and wastewater infrastructure of, potentially €50m to $150m Privatisation is a dirty word
57
The nature of municipal services
Water is intensely political as a municipal service, not least owing to essential nature of water to life itself However, it is not unique as municipal solid waste faces similar challenges (public health, unwillingness of consumer to pay) District heating also faces challenges and levels of operational complexity comparable to water and solid waste Do nothing is not an option, as the State will be fined by the European Commission at the end of any derogations periods Can we find an alternative solution?

The Hybrid Lease Hybrid – a cross between two species
Concession form (as previously detailed) Lease – Common Law real property concept Lord Templeman in Street v Mountford [1985] AC 809 at p816 Exclusive possession (for free use and enjoyment) for a term (defined period of time) at a rent A similar concept is available in Civil Law The French water industry is based on lease mechanisms through the affermage contract

115
Why the Hybrid Lease? A cross between There is no privatisation
a lease contract (for the company); and a concession contract (for the procurement of capital works) There is no privatisation Dramatic transfer of risk to private sector with minimal political risk Similarities between this form of PPP and the French water industry – a civil jurisdiction with the longest standing municipal service sector engaging in PPP in the world!
116
Caveats Clearly, not all companies will be in the right shape to enter a hybrid lease and simpler forms of PPP (i.e. management contracts) will be required as a first step Suitability criteria clearly need to be considered (e.g. population served per employee, ratio between billing and collection) as these issues influence creditworthiness There is the need to check primary legislation within any jurisdiction to determine whether assignment of certain rights over publicly held shares is permitted Careful consideration is required in relation to which rights over shares are assigned in order to make hybrid leasing work while remaining politically acceptable Ultimately dependent on the vires of the Direct Agreement between the Municipality and the Bank
117
Who’s Happy (1)? Bank Operator Contractor
Has either an existing loan covered by a new leasing arrangement or been paid out at the end of the first lease term Operator 15 years happy operation of a utility Paid by the fee for running the company and by dividends received on shares Contractor Reduced time for procurement cycle Deals directly with the utility
118
Who’s Happy (2)? Mayor Because the much of the political risk associated with privatisation has been removed Tariff negotiation risk has been reduced into the bidding process on Re-lease The competition for the Re-lease acts as a natural economic market regulator thereby improving regulation of the market The overall cost of procuring a project is massively reduced
119
Who’s Unhappy? Lawyers
