The city of Unterschleißheim has to postpone the construction of the Michael-Ende-School until 2023.

Other projects are also affected.

That's behind it.

Unterschleißheim - The new building of the Michael-Ende-School will be postponed to 2023 due to the Corona crisis.

The city cannot afford the 70 million project in these uncertain times.

That is regrettable because the building had been planned for years.

Now it goes with rescheduling: The city council is using the red pencil to reduce the costs to 50 million.

Saving is the order of the day, as there is a downward trend in trade tax.

Many companies are in a difficult position.

In 2020, 54 million euros flowed into the city's treasury, but that includes ten million as a compensation payment from the federal government and an unexpected additional payment of ten million by a company.

For 2021 chamberlain Irina Titze cautiously anticipates 35 million euros in business tax income, and in 2024 this could again reach 50 million, with Mayor Christoph Böck (SPD) adding that forecasts are "difficult to estimate".

There are 70 million in the account

The fact is: "The running costs cannot be earned at the moment," as the chamberlain stated.

The main committee therefore unanimously endorses the cautious draft budget.

Positive: There are 70 million euros in the account.

City council projects will be postponed or shortened, but not canceled - as was the case with the town hall foyer in 2019.

This year, the minimum amount of investment is being made for the renovation of the fire station: hazardous materials store, gas store, emergency power generator.

Further measures are to follow later.

When it comes to residential construction, the city is pushing ahead with all planned projects, with 140 residential units to be built on Kiebitzstrasse, on the Esso property and on the business campus.

For this, the city, which was almost debt-free, takes out loans and is expected to be in the chalk with 28.4 million in 2024.

"The city council had big plans"

The new construction of the vehicle hall for the BRK is fully retained with 2.8 million.

And so that the existing Michael-Ende-School achieves the same standard as the other urban primary schools, 360,000 euros are now being invested in digitization.

The finance officers discussed the draft in four meetings.

Mayor Böck thanked them and his administration for their hard and constructive work.

"The city council had big plans, we cannot map everything", the residential construction investment is "money well spent".

Postponing and shortening, said Benjamin Straßer (SPD), “was very difficult for everyone and it still hurts today, but we now have a realistic budget.” Brigitte Huber (Greens) was almost a bit astonished that it was still successful and one have a solid budget.

“I have taken part in many household consultations.

It has never been so difficult. ”Building affordable housing is“ an investment in the future ”.

Like all parliamentary groups, she considers it profitable despite borrowing, "because we generate subsidies and collect rents." For Stefan Diehl (CSU), the BRK house has the highest priority with 2.8 million, followed by the new noise protection for Lohhof-Süd.

He warned that the guideline value of 3300 euros per square meter of living space should be adhered to in residential construction, "otherwise it is not profitable".
