what is a cid
A CID (City Improvement District), also known as a Special Rates Area, provides the funding mechanism & structure to improve services in a defined neighbourhood. Once established, the CID enables property owners to become involved in the management of their own area by collecting money through the City’s billing system. The money is transferred to a non-profit company (established by the property owners), which enables the company to augment services provided by the City. The non-profit company gets a mandate from the property owners on supplemental municipal services and infrastructure desired for the area. For an estimated monthly contribution for Simon’s Kloof residences, please refer to the property value sliding scale in the Focus Group Presentation. This can be found in the Documents section.
the SKCID BOARD OF DIRECTORS
After years of increasing crime, environmental and social concerns, and slow service delivery, a steering committee was established to explore alternative solutions for Simon’s Kloof (SK) and the desire to establish a Community Improvement District (CID) was born. The committee consulted extensively with residents and initiated the process to establish a CID with the City of Cape Town (COCT). The final application was submitted on 29 January 2024, and the Simon’s Kloof Community Improvement District (SKCID) was formally approved on 24 April 2024. The initial SK Committee members were Gary Douglas, Nico Panagio, Clair Schaap, and Lorraine Goddard.
At the SKCID Members Meeting held on 28 January 2025, the following Board of Directors was elected:
- Gary Douglas
- Nico Panagio
- Clair Schaap
- Lorraine Goddard
- Sergio Capellino
