KOBLENZ. The citizens' initiative for future Koblenz (BIS) has criticized the recently concluded lease agreement, the city of Koblenz for the Electoral Palace. According to reports, the monthly rent without additional costs amount to 11,000 euros - and that for thirty years. It seems the motivation, the middle part of the lock to use on the part of the city is essentially motivated by the Show, which takes place only next year for six months. Almost four million € additional costs will therefore come in the next 30 years the city - in addition to the Reconstruction costs that the city pay in addition to the general contractor in the rented part of the castle. In addition, the city is committed to the lock owner, the federal agency Bima, to more ongoing contractual services. And again, this bizarre agreement was negotiated behind closed doors - and even though the contractor is a public authority. The public is again faced with a fait accompli and must now dig deep for the dire outcome in the bag. What are the benefits of decades of lease ultimately means for the city and the relationship between itself and the total rental cost of almost four million euros, seems questionable. Incredible is that just at the time the lease is because even the OB has referred to the current year in his Budget speech in December 2009 as "annus horribilis", ie as a "horror year". The debt of the city of Koblenz with such policy is further up fast, as well as the debt in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate (to an estimated 33 billion euros by the end of this year, forecast the country's Court of Auditors). The BIS, since late last year a member of the Association of Taxpayers, will work to become stronger in future for consolidation of public finances. "We are on political and budgetary reached a point where it's not just about the urgent protection of future generations in front of a huge debt burden, but the performance of the state and local government in the years to go, especially with regard to the debt the federal government, in Rhineland-Palatinate and in Koblenz, where the BIS Chairman Stephen Wefelscheid, "suggests no emergency brake which necessarily by the general interest, and possibly very soon ".
In addition, the contract with the Bima commitments to extensive renovations, which are estimated at more than two million euros. Thus, the cumulative overall burden on the budget of the city of Koblenz, about six million € in thirty years!
