The tasks require borrowing.

The high level of per capita debt will rise sharply this year.

While this was 399 euros in 2018, it will be 2700 euros this year.

A municipal council in Hohenbrunn complained.

Hohenbrunn

– On 271 pages you can read how the municipality of Hohenbrunn imagines the income and expenditure for this year.

Nadja Marx has been the master of the figures.

In early autumn 2021, the treasurer asked the town hall again what financial resources were considered necessary.

Then preliminary talks and discussions were held, first in the house itself and then in three meetings of the finance committee.

Finally, the budget was presented to the municipal council for approval.

He approved it almost unanimously.

The budget volume is 50 million euros

The budget accounts for around 50 million euros in total.

Compared to the previous year, this is an increase of 5.5 million euros.

In order to balance the asset budget, Marx has planned a withdrawal from the reserve (4.1 million euros) and property sales (4.5 million euros) for this year.

What is striking in the budget is a loan of more than seven million euros.

But this is also justified.

The amount is planned for the purchase of a piece of land west of the railway to build another school area.

The school grounds west of the railway

Hohenbrunn has big plans.

This has been shown in previous years, in which the school and sports campus in Riemerling deserves special mention.

But the municipality will not tire of building in the future either.

First and foremost, of course, there is the school grounds to the west of the railway.

The medium-term planning for the years up to 2025 also shows the barrier-free expansion of the Hohenbrunn train station, the purchase of land/apartments on Putzbrunner Straße, work on the water supply and the new construction of the Feststadel at the building yard.

Renovation or new construction of the "House of the Child"

The preliminary report by the treasurer also mentions the "Child's House" on Georg-Kerschensteiner-Straße in Riemerling-Ost. The oldest childcare facility is showing its age. "It will have to be considered whether a renovation or a conversion or possibly a new building is an economical alternative in order to be able to guarantee adequate and up-to-date childcare in the future," notes Marx. But there is still a lot of speculation in these words, because the municipality must first see how the envisaged goals can be mastered this year, always with the hope in the back of their minds that the income side in particular will be as hoped.

The citizens' forum put its finger in the wound, complaining during the budget debate about how high the per capita debt would rise.

If this was 399 euros in 2018, it will be 2700 euros this year.

According to the group, the municipality will soon hardly be able to make any big leaps due to the level of debt and reserves.

The budget is "sewn to the brim".

But they were the only ones with this opinion in the municipal council.
