The extension of the lease agreement with the Mooseisen Eichenried association should have been just a formality in the Moosinninger municipal council.
But then the discussion went in a completely different direction.
Moosinning
- In the contract with the municipality, a lease period from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2021 was specified for the club area on Birkenstraße. The annual rent was 120 euros. At the beginning of January, the club submitted an application to extend the lease for a further ten years. Manfred Lex (CSU) then started a discussion.
He had the manager Silvia Hermansdorfer give him a list of all the clubs and found: "We get a total of 1,551 euros lease from the clubs a year." That is not a coherent picture for him. "Some people ask for something, others don't," said the CSU local council and asked the group: "Do we need the 1551 euros at all?" He knows that money is tight, "and that we have to save." . But if the clubs would bear the additional costs, "then that's okay for me, the clubs can influence that themselves". Lex suggested thinking about "whether we can't find a unified solution."
"It doesn't make us rich," said Werner Fleischer (BE) about the 1551 euros. Sabine Stangl (BE) took the same line and suggested: "Let's make it available to everyone free of charge." Mayor Georg Nagler (SPD) replied that one would have to check that first, "because we are subject to sales tax, and that may be the case that we can't get out". Josef Romir (SPD) had another objection. "I would like to point out: Even if we only charge a symbolic amount, then you better watch out for the stuff," he said. "If it's free, then it's worth nothing." The mayor suggested that there would be a general review of the matter at the next meeting.
As far as the contract with the Mooseisen is concerned, the decision was unanimous: it will be extended for another ten years.
In addition, a passage is included that the lease period is extended by a further five years if the contract is not terminated with six months' notice to the end of the year.
The lease has been removed from the contract for the time being.
