Budget / Finance excerpt from the speech of the Chairman's Dr. Gross:
"(...) in the budget speech of my Council colleagues and deputy Stephen Wefelscheid 19 February this year have already been mentioned all the relevant points of criticism to the 2010 budget, despite the improved revenue still seem to be valid.
addition, I would like to take this opportunity for the BIS group submitted the following opinion on the supplementary budget leave:
Although a household with income "only" minus 58 million euros from a lower deficit, fortunately, than originally estimated. However, this does not change the fact that we still live far above our means.
takes the property Unrestrained consumption and it is clear when the capital is completely depleted.
The city of Koblenz is also obliged to ensure their liquidity to a large extent by short-term loans. This may seem today, during the current low interest rate period is not particularly threatening, it can and will However, as interest rates rise quickly become a trap!
In a statement, according to the OB rising indebtedness of the town of 400 million euros to 800 million euros higher interest rates dramatically explosive force will develop for the budget!
addition, the vicious circle of risk of repayment of investment credits for the purpose of liquidity credits, the basic task of meeting the city of Koblenz. It lacks a coherent overall concept for years, as the growing debt would ever be returned, or at least consolidated.
The spending policies of the city has lost all sense of proportion.
We have too many sites and have too little "stations" where value is created, ie expected revenue for the city.
The next big projects attract interest and capital repayments, despite temporary funding significantly increased maintenance and follow-up costs.
Our new mayor, who ran in early 2009, was elected in 2009 and early this year came to office, had all claimed enough time to prepare for this task.
In zahlreichen Interviews kündigte er an, die Schulden abzubauen, die Liquiditätskredite zurückzuführen und Prioritäten zu setzen. Er wollte grundsätzlich "alles auf den Prüfstand stellen".
Im Juni diesen Jahres hat der OB jedoch eine riesige Chance zur Konsolidierung des Haushalts vertan: er hätte das 95 Millionen Euro teure Prestigeobjekt des Kulturbaus stoppen können. Die ADD hatte schließlich den Weg dafür bereitet, in dem sie den Mietkauf für den Kulturbau ablehnte.
Mit dem Ausstieg hätte ein dringend notwendiger Schritt zur Haushaltskonsolidierung von rund 95 Millionen Euros can be achieved. Instead of reason-out of the OB, however, had hastily negotiated new Vertragsmodi that the project should now make it possible for the chance to fiscally responsible way, he has missed it!
The new OB is continuing not only the central square-debt policies of his predecessor, where he ran the controversial project, but despite exit route for the project was put back in motion.
No matter how hard consolidation measure will offset the financial burden of the Central Square project even close to, let alone bring back the existing debt can.
The ADD savings in their budget available but can not with criticism but significant "financial losses", because it is the state government would have it, but with 33 billion in debt is itself a reorganization case!
Here are the questions: Can a state government to bear on a community so much pressure? Had not the Koblenz to ask now?
Stuttgart has not shown 21 that the people want to be involved in such decisions directly that they do not accept it more if major projects pushed past them with "estimated" numbers and will always be more expensive?
ECE is not involved directly or indirectly through a foundation in Stuttgart?
Even here in Koblenz, the criticism is growing louder. Many citizens are increasingly the question for more citizen participation and the relationship between them remains Stuttgart 21 and Koblenz 21 "barely hidden.
Why do I mention Stuttgart 21 and the Central Square project here in Koblenz? Because we are about the issues of the supplementary budget back to:
charged in his letter to Council members by 10/27/2010 OB in the scheduled commitments € 114 million alone for the central place (!) 88.733 million € out!
addition to meaningful and long-awaited measures nearly 70% of new debt for a prestige object that can afford to Koblenz in any way and we will be endorsing in any case!
As with all major public projects, the one million-fold increase in the cost of this prestigious building is to be expected, the costs are getting out of control and keep the revenue well below expectations! The political loss of confidence on the rise!
The BIS group has been true in the budget negotiations earlier this year Proposed targets and has met with the former OB complete lack of understanding.
We are always for real and targeted advice for a real budget consolidation available to sit, but as of this supplementary budget, because the will and the willingness to sustainable and generational budgeting discipline completely missing! "
