The Karlsfeld indoor swimming pool has to be extensively renovated.

The SPD now has an idea to distribute the high costs over several shoulders: with an intercommunal indoor swimming pool.

The Karlsfeld indoor swimming pool, built in 1971, is still in good shape for its age, but needs extensive renovation if it is to last for decades.

The renovation is expensive, Mayor Stefan Kolbe recently spoke of 15 million euros.

For this investment and operation after the renovation, the SPD municipal council group is now bringing a new idea into play: the inter-municipal indoor swimming pool.

"The investment costs and also the operating costs should be divided among all the communities using the facility," writes councilor Beate Full in an application. After the renovation of the indoor pool, the municipality of Karlsfeld would have to earn around 1.2 million euros annually for debt servicing from the renovation and ongoing operations, Full continues. "The budget figures for 2021 and the further development up to 2024 clearly show that the administrative budget will not be able to do this."

That is not surprising.

A look at the budgets of the municipalities in north-west Munich of comparable size show that “municipalities that can afford to run an indoor swimming pool receive between eight million such as Olching and 55 million such as Unterschleißheim more in taxes than the municipality of Karlsfeld.

It would therefore require a significant increase in tax revenue in Karlsfeld. "

But Karlsfeld will have to wait a long time for that.

Fulls is convinced that the additional tax revenue from the planned industrial park on Bajuwarenstrasse can be expected from 2031 at the earliest.

The SPD councilor therefore refers to the so-called Bad Tölzer model in Geretsried, in which seven municipalities and the Bad Tölz-Wolfrasthausen district have jointly built an inter-municipal indoor swimming pool.

The agreement has a term of 25 years.

With a similar procedure "a significant relief of the administrative budget could be achieved for Karlsfeld, since the burden of the operating costs as well as the debt servicing would be spread over several shoulders", writes Full in the application.
