The citizens 'initiative "For a liveable Moosburg" wanted to hand over signatures for a citizens' petition to Mayor Josef Dollinger.
But the town hall chief did not play along.
Moosburg - In the local elections in March, Uwe Nelkel ran on the list of free voters to support today's mayor Josef Dollinger.
But it felt like years ago, because Nelkel had long since resigned from the Free Voters and, with the aim of a public petition for moderate development, became Dollinger's opponent.
When the signatures of the citizens' initiative “Livable Moosburg” were handed over, there was a frosty atmosphere in the town hall.
Nelkel had an appointment with the mayor last Thursday, but he was not prepared to hand over the signature.
Dollinger told the three initiators that he would not sign the acknowledgment of receipt presented to him.
“I don't sign anything that I can't check,” says Dollinger.
From Uwe Nelkel's point of view, this rejection was an affront, “because he has to sign blindly if he doesn't want to count the signatures”.
The three initiators - Nelkel, Thomas Schulz and Hermann Weger - finally took their lists back with them and handed them over to the manager Josef Mühlberger a day later.
According to BI, 1677 citizens have registered on the 198 sheets and thus easily exceeded the limit for a citizens' petition of around 1250, even if a close examination occasionally shows double and invalid signatures.
According to Dollinger, the administration will check the admissibility of the signature list.
The list of signatures is supposed to bring delay for a Moosburg development plan
The citizens' initiative “For a liveable Moosburg” has formulated a whole catalog of building regulations that are to be reflected in a municipal statute.
The aim is to only allow the construction method E + 2 + D outside the city center, to build a maximum of 100 residential units per year or to seal land no more than 70 percent.
With the exception of the center, the citizens' initiative wants to create clear guidelines for moderate development.
Uwe Nelkel emphasizes that the signatures refer not only to the planned development of the Rockermaier area, "but that is the beginning".
With the list, the development plan for the Rockermaier area has now been postponed by around three months.
Here BI wants to learn the lessons from the Amperauen building area, which is currently being implemented.
"It's strange there," says Nelkel, "everything is really sealed."
With the submission of the signatures, the citizens' initiative sees the ball now with the mayor and the city council.
Spokesman Uwe Nelkel emphasizes that you can relax and wait for a reaction.
Josef Dollinger and the council would have to signal willingness to talk if they wanted to find a compromise that was acceptable to both sides.
A referendum would then be about the entire catalog of the citizens' initiative.
Moosburg's Mayor Dollinger has nothing to discuss with BI
However, Uwe Nelkel will not receive a call from Josef Dollinger in the coming days.
"I don't see what we have to discuss," says the local chief.
He is now waiting for the administration to examine it, and then the petition will be discussed in the city council.
"For me it is the decisive body," says Dollinger, "but we are not that far yet." Dollinger was therefore not yet able to say what he would propose when passing a resolution on the citizens' petition in the city council.
