Egling – “Stable, realistic and with a portion of optimism”: With these words, Mayor Hubert Oberhauser (Free Voters) summarized Egling’s budget plan for the current year. At the most recent meeting of the local council, treasurer Daniela Simon first presented the extensive figures, and in the second step the committee approved them unanimously.

Egling: Local council approves budget

Egling's budget has a total volume of 14.8 million euros, the asset budget is 3.6 million, and the administrative budget is 11.1 million. Compared to the previous year, the volume fell by 1.82 percent. “But that’s not much,” emphasized Simon. The planned income is 3 million euros in trade tax and 4.5 million euros in income tax. For this reason, the district levy increases to 3.8 million euros.

This means: Egling has to transfer 150,000 euros more to the district than in 2023. Apart from that, the district levy is the largest cost item in the administrative budget. This is followed by personnel costs amounting to 3.4 million euros. Childcare takes up the largest share of this. The municipality is responsible for five institutions. “On the one hand, we need more staff, and on the other hand, the costs for existing staff have increased due to tariff changes,” explained Simon.

The total daycare income is 900,000 euros. However, they face expenses of 2.4 million euros. This fact weighs heavily on local councilor Josef Bail (United Citizenship). “This is about our children, that’s right and fine. “But we can’t afford that in the long run,” the deputy mayor pointed out. Oberhauser agreed. “Sooner or later we have to realistically deal with the fee screw here.”

“Strong investment program” for Egling - major school renovation project

The town hall boss also announced a “strong investment program” this year: the large community is pumping a total of 3.6 million euros into the fire brigade, the renovation of the old school building in Thanning and the general renovation of the primary school with the expansion of all-day places. “Our wish would be to submit the building application this year so that the renovation can begin in 2025,” says Daniela Simon.

The major school renovation project is expected to cost Egling 26 million euros. 500,000 euros of this have already been included in the 2024 budget for construction, additional and planning costs. An additional cost of 661,000 euros is the renovation of the Deining throughpass with road drainage and sidewalk replacement.

All projects need to be financed: partly through withdrawals from reserves amounting to 2.2 million euros. At the end of the year, the community will have 1.8 million euros left as a nest egg. According to Simon, money will be added to the reserves again from 2025, “assuming the tax revenue remains”. In addition, a loan of 14 million euros is planned for school renovations next year. In addition, the community repays the loan with 60,600 euros annually to finance the acquired Springer property.

The positive news: Egling's debt level fell slightly to 954,000 euros at the end of the year. “All in all, we have managed solidly and have a healthy, consolidated structure,” summarized Oberhauser. Nevertheless, the community has “sporty and intensive” years ahead. “We will have to say no to that one or two times in the future.”
