The experts have spoken: The Council request submitted by four Murnau parliamentary groups is not admissible. It is not yet clear whether the groups will make a second attempt. In addition, according to the current status, there will be no local bus in Murnau from 1 to 23 July. The majority put a stop to it.
Murnau – Rainer Paschen, chairman of the Murnau Senior Citizens' Advisory Board, does not hold back with his opinion: He speaks of a "disgrace". Paschen refers this to the fact that the question of the council request requested by the CSU, Mehr Bewegen, Freie Wählern and SPD is inadmissible. It was titled "The better public transport for Murnau". The question was: "Do you want a climate-friendly, barrier-free transport system in Murnau that can be used by everyone?" Who could say no to that? But the question does not meet the criteria. "The question of the requested council request violates the principle of substantive specificity, as it is not sufficiently specific," ruled the legal supervision of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district office. And further: "The question must be determined in such a way that citizens can see what they are voting for or against."
Municipal Council sends confirmation
The administration had also come to this conclusion. "All signatories would certainly agree with the basic goal, but it is not clear what concrete measures/decisions are intended to achieve this goal." The Murnau market had also asked at the Bavarian Municipal Assembly. According to the town hall, an employee confirmed this legal opinion and informed "that a council request with this question should not be decided".
The topic was supposed to be dealt with on Thursday in the market town council. But that didn't happen. Mayor Rolf Beuting (ÖDP/Bürgerforum) stated at the beginning of the public part that the question of the council's request was "inadmissible". "We don't need to deal with that anymore." Obviously, the applicants had withdrawn the Council's request.
The fact that the question is too vague is "understandable," Phillip Zoepf, parliamentary group spokesman for Mehr Bewegen, told the Tagblatt yesterday. "Our intention was to convey that there is something other than just betting on a horse." By this he means the on-demand bus, the continuation of which will be decided on July 23 in a referendum (we reported).
It is still unclear whether the four parliamentary groups will make a second attempt at a Council request. "We still have to think about that," says Zoepf. Nothing is lost. "We are not bound by any deadlines." Now there are two weeks of vacation. "It's good for all of us to catch our breath first." Paschen from the Senior Citizens' Advisory Council expects that the four parliamentary groups will try an alternative question.
Renewal denied
"Incomprehensible" are for the chairman of the Senior Citizens' Advisory Council – the body that had launched two citizens' petitions with comrades-in-arms – Council decisions from Thursday evening. The people's representatives rejected with 13:10 votes that the currently valid on-demand bus contract with the company Omobi is extended beyond June 30 until at least July 23. The ÖDP/Citizens' Forum had requested this. According to the current status, Omobi will run until 30 June. The local council had decided to shut it down a few months ago. Also with 13:10 votes, the councillors voted against a resolution proposed by the administration, which was supplemented at the meeting. This stipulated that the contract with Omobi would be extended beyond 30 June until 31 August – provided that the referendum "Save the on-demand bus" is successful.
There was also crocheting. Welf Probst (Free Voters) wondered why the topic is being dealt with publicly. After all, it is a matter of awarding the contract. Mayor Beuting described the objection as "nonsense". He saw it this way: "It was a matter of making sure that something would continue from 1 July." Apart from that, Probst has the impression that it is "about saving a company and not a system".
