It has not yet been decided whether the Murnau store will introduce a digital voucher system.
First of all, the administration should obtain offers.
You want to look at these in detail.
The market town council agreed on this route.
The Murnau administration is to examine the introduction of a digital voucher system.
This could strengthen the local industry, say proponents.
Some local councils are skeptical.
Murnau
- The ulterior motive is clear: the planned market voucher is intended to strengthen Murnau's business, boost business, especially in these times.
The idea of setting up a local voucher system came up in spring during the first lockdown.
And this is how it could work: The voucher system is managed from a central point.
The vouchers are issued in the form of cards (similar to a credit card).
Everyone has a unique number.
The vouchers can be redeemed, bought or loaded at the so-called partner locations.
The system is controlled via an app or a website.
Every trader should be able to participate.
The Murnau municipal administration mentions the following advantages, among others: “A voucher that is independent of the business is versatile and easy to use.” The added value from purchased vouchers is guaranteed to remain in Murnau.
And: The system “becomes more attractive the more divisions take part”.
In addition, it is crisis-proof.
A system in digital form is preferred.
Skeptical voices
After the main administrative committee had already dealt with the matter, the topic now came on the table in the municipal council.
Not all members of the committee were enthusiastic.
“I'm not a big fan of it,” said Stefan Lechner (ÖDP / Bürgerforum).
“That doesn't solve any structural problems.” Lechner said he “wouldn't spend 100 euros on it”.
Dr.
Josef Raab (Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen) has "difficulties with local currencies and cannot really see the point".
Voucher systems have little to do with genuine appreciation.
Multiple proponents
Phillip Zoepf, parliamentary group spokesman for Mehr Bewegen, sees the project as positive.
He sees it “as an accompanying measure to strengthen local dealers”.
Zoepf: “We don't want to introduce our own currency.” Veronika Jones, parliamentary group spokeswoman for Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, spoke of a “great thing.
We should push this further ”.
Felix Burger (SPD parliamentary group) was also impressed.
“The money stays in Murnau and does not go to Amazon.
Nothing better can happen. "
Administration should obtain offers
Admittedly: the resolution proposal of the administration met with reservations.
It read: “The Murnau market decides to introduce a voucher system in the form of a 'market voucher'”.
CSU parliamentary group spokesman Rudolf Utzschneider went too far.
Mayor Rolf Beuting (ÖDP / Bürgerforum) had no problem with a change.
In the end, the committee decided unanimously that the administration should examine the introduction.
Existing service systems should be used.
The administration should obtain offers and then present the results to the municipal council.
Club is for it
Guntram Gattner, chairman of the Association for Economic Development, advocates such a system.
“This is an incentive for all Murnau citizens to leave their money in the village.
There are enough communities where things are going really well. "
