Thomas Sellmeir is dissatisfied: In the most recent meeting, the Marzlinger SPD council took the opportunity to express its criticism of Mayor Martin Ernst - although the town hall chief was ill and therefore not present.
Marzling
- In future, all statutes in Marzling are to be published on the municipality's own website. With this, the SPD parliamentary group wants to ensure more transparency to the outside world. Internally, however, there was criticism from the SPD at the latest municipal council meeting on Thursday. Thomas Sellmeir (SPD) used the agenda item “Other” to wash off Mayor Matin Ernst (CSU / FW) who was unable to attend due to illness.
One after the other: The SPD submitted a motion with the proposed resolution that the municipality should publish all statutes, fee calculations of municipal institutions and fee increases with justifications on the municipality website.
With this, the SPD wants to inform the Marzlingers as easily and transparently as possible about current topics.
According to the motion, this would also include all budget-related issues - especially in these “financially challenging times”.
By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.
Many municipalities have been publishing such information on their own websites for years, it said.
In addition, it was already difficult for the audience present at the meetings to follow the factual presentations, as there would be an "information gap" due to the resolutions submitted to the committee, according to Sellmeier and Juliane Dorfmüller in the application.
At the moment it's “burning” in the town hall
The announcements on the notice boards that statutes can be viewed for a week in the municipal administration - during the city hall opening times - are also an unnecessary information barrier for the SPD. According to Sellmeier, it would be important to allow citizens to participate in decisions - ideally in a slimmed-down and understandable form. Sellmeier has asked the mayor several times, but nothing has ever happened.
The 2nd Mayoress Roswitha Apold emphasized that all statutes can actually be found on the community homepage anyway.
For Sellmeir, however, the budget and supplementary statutes are particularly important, because this is also about citizens' money.
Apold wanted to wait until spring to upload the missing statutes, because then the town hall information system would go live and it would currently be "burning" in the administration anyway.
Sellmeir takes time off for administrative work
Sellmeir didn't want to be satisfied with that.
His suggestion: Take a day off and help the administration get the latest budget charter online.
The SPD's motion was unanimously launched by the local council.
SPD council angry: Seriously ignore the topic
Sellmeier got quite angry about something completely different. The annoying cause of the fire station lettering had still not been clarified, although Martin Ernst had promised this until September. "You have to ask three, four, five, six times", emphasized Sellmeier - and even then the mayor would simply "ignore" it. The letters on the fire station are still crooked, now they are even lit at night - the SPD member simply doesn't want the building to stay as it is.
In addition, Martin Ernst had set a fixed date for the citizens' meeting, which has now fallen into the water again due to the pandemic.
According to Sellmeier, the year 2020 was "dismissed" via Powerpoint on the community website.
“I don't like that at all,” as Sellmeier said, because the citizen simply “deserved more”.
It was foreseeable that the number of infections will now go up - but the mayor finally had the whole year for a town hall meeting, but he did not use it.
Apold promised to direct the criticism.
