The Murnau municipal council approved the budget for 2021.
It was only a matter of minutes.
The Murnau municipal council approved the budget for 2021.
It amounts to 41.7 million euros.
The budget speeches will be held later due to the corona.
Murnau
- Dr.
Julia Stewens looks around.
“Do you have any comments or questions?” None of the municipal councilors spoke up.
"Then we can decide on the budget charter like this," says the Vice Mayor of the Free Voters in the culture and conference center.
No speeches
Stewens will represent Mayor Rolf Beuting (ÖDP / Bürgerforum) that evening.
There are no speeches this time.
Because of the corona pandemic, the meeting should be as short as possible.
The budget speeches by the political group spokesmen are to be given at a later date.
Only Hubert Süß speaks when the agenda item is called.
The chamberlain presents the budget charter.
Debts rise
The budget for 2021 is around 41.7 million euros.
The debt continues to rise.
The so-called free margin, which is available for investments, drops to around 900,000 euros.
Chamberlain Süß and his deputy Josef Brückner had already spoken of a "Corona dent" or "Corona furrow" at the end of October.
The reason: significant drops in the municipality's share of income tax, trade tax, tourist tax and spa tax.
"We will notice the effects of Corona not only in 2021, but also in the following years and even more painfully", predicted Suess and Brückner in unison at the time.
"2022 and 2023 will be difficult", the chamberlain swante (we reported).
Stewens "reasonably optimistic"
Vice Mayor Stewens told the daily newspaper on Friday: "It will certainly be difficult because you don't know what to do next." But she doesn't see black.
The approach that is in the budget with regard to trade tax income is "not so bad" at around 5.5 million euros.
In the previous year it was around 6 million euros.
"I hope that the trade tax revenue will hold up," says the deputy town hall chief.
“The prospects are not that bad.
We'd have to make ends meet. ”The bottom line is that Stewens is“ reasonably optimistic ”.
No comment from Beuting
How does Mayor Beuting assess the current financial situation?
What is his forecast for 2022 and 2023?
In his opinion, how strong will the austerity program be in Murnau?
All of this is unclear.
A daily newspaper request remains unanswered on Friday.
A vote against
The committee does not unanimously approve the figures.
Welf Probst (Free Voters) is against it.
A few weeks ago, he had pleaded for the priority list to be purged.
The municipal housing project on Bahnhofplatz in particular goes against the grain.
1.8 million euros are planned for this.
