There is talk of a mogul slope.
The ice stock club in Oberammergau could use renovation.
The municipality plans to tackle the project in 2022.
Oberammergau - No one saw his facial expressions behind his mouth and nose mask.
Nobody could read what was going on in Michael Voss.
Like many other members of the Oberammergau curling club, he sat in the back of the meeting room, quietly following the main and finance committee.
Until he answered and wanted to speak for himself.
In order to make it clear to the local politicians once and for all how things are going with the club's facilities.
Bad very bad.
"The place," said Voss, "is so ailing."
The situation is a challenge for the ESC. For example, it can no longer invite foreign teams.
In the game "we have to sweep the water every ten minutes", explained the active player, who speaks of a "mogul slope".
He knows many other ice stock rinks, most of them are more modern.
Topic in the budget consultations
The community knows about the suboptimal condition of the area.
The association had already submitted an application for a refurbishment in 2019.
Nothing has happened so far, the club had to be patient.
"We have now lost our faith," emphasized Voss at the meeting.
But now there should finally be some movement in the matter.
Actually, the municipality wanted to react much earlier.
But the money was canceled again due to the financial emergency due to the cancellation of the Passion Play 2020.
There is no time to implement the necessary measures this year.
Therefore, the funds of 20,000 euros should be included in the budget for 2022.
"This is how it was communicated," clarified Andreas Rödl (CSU).
The mayor hopes to be able to send a positive signal in about five weeks.
Then the budget consultations start.
Application in advance meets with incomprehension
But already now, in advance, the non-party voter community (PWG) wanted to bring about a vote and pour the previously verbally formulated procedure into a resolution.
What irritated Barbara Cunradi-Rutz (Bunte List).
“I don't see any need,” she said in light of the forthcoming deliberations.
But the parliamentary group consciously chose this path, and has done so more often.
"The ESC needs planning security", Ludwig Utschneider (PWG) clarified.
The association must know "how we tick".
Christian Ostler showed little understanding for this argument.
It is not the normal procedure to give individual declarations of intent in advance, which can be "wiped out" during the deliberations, clarified the city hall manager.
Because: The decision of the committee is not binding.
Ostler explained the "classic case": The treasurer must be notified of the respective requirements, he records them and takes them into account in the figures.
Nevertheless, the decision was made to include the money for the renovation of the curling rink in the budget talks (6: 2 votes).
If the red pen should be pulled out - which no one is currently intending to do - it should certainly serve as a basis for discussions.
