Munich - The city will
have to spend
around
40 million euros more
in the coming year due to the corona pandemic
.
The city council has approved the budget expansion.
At the same time, the administration is to save around 200 million euros: 70 million in personnel costs, 138 million euros in material costs.
The Greens and the SPD
applied on Sunday to exclude areas with citizen contact, such as the social bourgeoisie and the citizens' offices, from this austerity dictate.
The opposition criticized the savings - they went too far for the left and not far enough for the FDP.
Brigitte Wolf (left), for example, criticized the fact that the building department was forced
not to fill
around
160 positions
.
“But they are significantly involved in the implementation of the school building campaign.
That's rubbish.
It is difficult enough to find qualified personnel anyway. "
Savings in Munich: "We also have to do something in the personnel area"
The savings in personnel are to be made by not filling positions.
The administration assumes an annual turnover of 2500 positions, of which only half are to be filled.
"In many areas we are facing more expenses, also as a result of the Corona crisis," it said.
Christian Köning (SPD)
stated that the savings were correct.
“We also have to do something in the personnel area.” But there will be no restrictions, layoffs or short-time work.
At the same time, the municipal ability to act must be preserved.
Hence the motion not to touch the areas with citizen contact.
Green boss Florian Roth considered the austerity measures to be justifiable
.
"If there is a fluctuation of six to seven percent, half will not be filled, that is not an inhuman intensification of work." However, some of the savings were made using the
lawnmower method
, said
Sonja Haider (ÖDP)
.
"And if areas with citizen contact are excluded, this means that the other sections have to bear more of the burden."

Corona Munich: Historically unique minus of 550 million euros
FDP leader Jörg Hoffmann
is all too
timid
.
"We need a proper budget security concept, in which the lawnmower is really ignored and at a level that enables us to do business properly again after the crisis." to be.
In the end there is a risk that the government of Upper Bavaria will place the city under
forced administration
.
"If we just manage to save the amount that we spend again at the same time, then it is a tragedy."
As reported, Kämmerer Christoph Frey (SPD) calculates a "historically unique" minus of
around 550 million euros in the coming year
.
The main reason is the expected loss of trade tax.
