The city wants to take in a family from the burned out refugee camp in Moria.
The city council decided unanimously.
The city councils want to pay for the costs themselves.
Fürstenfeldbruck
- So that these recognized refugees are not in competition with those looking for accommodation, the city council is to give its allowance for rent and maintenance for the plenary session for one year.
The topic - an urgent application from Christian Götz (BBV) - had caused quite a stir in the previous city council.
The group chairmen had dealt with it afterwards.
This time it was a matter of fact discussion.
The administration's proposal: The asylum authorities are offered rooms in the Hasenheide house for a family of up to five from Moria.
And you make it clear that this is a one-time achievement that ends when the family moves into their own apartment.
Number of people
The Greens did not want to commit to five people.
“It seems strange when a family of six is available, and we say one is too many,” said Vice Mayor Christian Stangl.
But of course a core family and not an extended family is meant.
Doreen Höltl from the social affairs department in the town hall explained that the Hasenheide house had capacity for five people.
This could also be kept free if the city council had a corresponding vote.
When it comes to family reunification and the accommodation of recognized refugees, the city faces special challenges, said Andreas Lohde (CSU).
It was important to him that the accommodation of the people from Moria should not be at the expense of accommodation for other homeless people.
Therefore, he proposed an amendment: As a humanitarian gesture, the city council should donate the money for the city council meeting to rent an apartment and for maintenance for a year - that would be 24,000 euros if all councilors participated.
This did not affect the modalities for the other asylum seekers.
"It should be a humanitarian symbol from us as a body."
Attendance fee
The idea was well received by the city council.
Willi Dräxler (BBV) called her “honorable”.
He pointed out, however, that the city and district have to do less than other districts due to the anchor center, in which no recognition should actually take place.
Markus Droth (FW) asked how one would deal with such donations in the future.
Because it is already the second time that the attendance fee is used for social purposes.
Many city councilors had already accepted vouchers for Bruck shops and restaurants instead of money.
According to Mayor Erich Raff, after the decision of principle, the city councils will be asked anonymously who is ready to do so.
The city council unanimously approved the amendment.
However, the committee moved away from joining the “Safe Haven” alliance, which was also requested in the urgent application.
It was not the right time, said Götz.
"At times we will generally talk about how we want to deal with the reception of refugees."
