Now after all: The Maisach municipal council has set up a corona committee for emergencies.

The eleven-member panel should only meet if the 7-day incidence rises above 200.

Maisach - With a view to the coronavirus mutations and the high number of infections before Christmas, the municipal council decided to form a committee with fewer people so that local politicians can also make decisions in an emergency.

If there are 24 representatives in the municipal council, there are only ten in the Corona Committee.

This would allow longer intervals between meetings.

In December, an application by Gottfried Obermair (FW) to downsize the body was narrowly rejected.

The community should remain capable of acting

So that the community remains able to act, but protection is still ensured for the committee members, if the incidence exceeds 200, a special committee is not convened, but not the community council.

Only Hermine Reitmayr (FW) voted against it.

She said: “This is no longer democratic.

This undermines the will of the electorate. ”More than every second council member is excluded due to the reduction in the number of people.

Those who vote for a corona committee should voluntarily make their place in the new body available: those who absolutely want to exercise their office.

But Reitmayr found no comrades-in-arms.

All but her voted for the committee.

Incidentally, the latter cannot “make more far-reaching decisions”, as Mayor Hans Seidl (CSU) explained: In order not to undermine the entire municipal council, for example, no zoning plans could be passed or statutes issued.

At the request of Gabriele Rappenglitz (CSU), there are further changes to the meetings with a view to the pandemic.

It was unanimously decided in each case to compress the agenda, to streamline speeches and to air them in detail after one hour of meeting.

Against two votes it went through to delete the agenda item “miscellaneous” for the time being: If you want to ask something general, you can write an email to the town hall, it said.

The budget speeches

The budget speeches due in February were discussed for longer.

The proposal was on the table that all parliamentary groups should only submit their thoughts on the community's budget in writing - to save time.

There was resistance to this, after all, important financial decisions had been made and each group was setting its own priorities.

It was then decided that each parliamentary group would have three to a maximum of five minutes speaking time on the budget; the long version of the speech would then be submitted in writing.

The members of the Corona Committee have now been determined.

Roland Müller (representatives: Xaver Hirsch jun. And Rappenglitz - the representatives are now always named in brackets), Silvia Heitmeir (Tobias Ottillinger, Leonhard Hainzinger), Christian Kemether (Ottillinger, Xaver Hirsch) and Christa Turini join the chairman Seidl -Huber (Xaver Hirsch, Ottillinger).

There are three places on the FW, which are taken by Georg Hirschvogel (Josef Hutter, Reitmayr), Josef Huber (Reitmayr, Alfred Hirsch) and Obermair (Alfred Hirsch, Hutter).

The Greens are sending Heike Demant (Hartmut Hombach, Patrick Götz) and Barbara Helmers (Christine Wunderl, Götz).

The SPD receives a place for Waltraut Wellenstein (Peter Aust, Margarita Poxleitner-Enger).
