Weisendorf needs to be restructured

After failing to pass the budget statutes and the budget plan in december, the weisendorf municipal council dealt with the extensive set of figures in its first meeting of the new year. As the chairman of the meeting and second mayor karl-heinz hertlein (CSU) explained, the main, finance and culture committee had discussed in detail and taken note of the draft budget statutes and budget plan including annexes for the 2020 budget year. By eight votes to one, the council was recommended to approve the 2020 budget and the 2020 budget statutes.

As expected, the parliamentary group of alliance 90/the greens rejected the budget, including the financial and staffing plan, and christiane kolbet made a sweeping statement in which she did not mince words about the council’s past decisions. As in the past, kolbet criticized the fact that the renovation of the town center, which was started in 2012 at the instigation of grunen, is only progressing slowly and that not much has happened above the palace garden.

Among other things, the planned renovation of the bathing pond had been delayed at the request of the CSU for cost reasons and was now leading to considerable additional costs. The result will be a "carp bath", but no ecological taxation. "We should not forget that we have more important things to do before the kerwa and its planning", chided kolbet.

Kolbet takes too long

Weisendorf urgently needs a traffic turnaround, the word "climate protection" she had never heard in the committee, and the energy use plan, which was unanimously approved in 2016, had disappeared into the drawer, as had the playground and open space concept.

"The long wish list and experience show that in weisendorf you have to have a lot of patience to realize mabnahmen. The best example is the ball sports hall, where the community and the administration have been led by the nose and whose costs have almost doubled", was one of kolbet’s accusations.

As the second mayor explained, it has already been possible to continuously reduce the debt level since the 2007 budget year. Since february 2019, weisendorf has been debt-free, and no borrowing is planned for the 2020 budget year. Due to substantial investments, borrowing is not planned until the budget years 2021 to 2023, and repayment will begin in mid-2021. The planned transfer from the administrative to the property budget in the 2020 budget year is around 1.3 million euros and there is no expenditure for ordinary repayments.

"At the end of the 2019 budget year, the reserves amounted to around six million euros and will be reduced to just under 200,000 euros in this budget year.", announced hertlein. At the end of 2021, there is only the special "photovoltaic plant", but no ecological assessment.

In calculating the county levy for the year 2020, chamber member christina strunk took the letter from the state statistical office and the current levy rate of 47.25 percent as a basis. Due to the positive development of the apportionment power, the county apportionment will change from 3,548,891 euros (2019) to 3,412,714 euros (2020) with an unchanged apportionment rate. In the budget year 2018, the district levy amounted to 3 072 676 euros.

Investing with foresight

Essentially, the positive development is due to a thrifty and economical budget management, explained the second mayor. The foresighted decision of the municipal council in 1993 to develop the site of today’s "gerbersleithe" after an initial increase in the level of debt, the purchase of new buildings was the basis for the positive trend. In 2020, the income from this investment at the time will be received in the form of land sales, which could be used to finance various reductions in the property budget and contribute to ensuring the fulfillment of tasks. Also the decision of the market town council in 2019 on the acquisition of land in the areal "geisgrun" will demand this development in the long term.

"The goal for the future will be to continue the solid budgetary policy. Due to the investments planned for 2020 and the following years, the general reserve will be exhausted in 2021 and loans will be required from 2021 to 2023. Major investments are planned, especially in the areas of trenches and wastewater disposal. In the course of the preparation of the 2020 budget and appropriations, the planned decreases of the current financial planning period 2021 to 2023 should be critically considered, with the aim of avoiding or at least reducing the planned loans and generally reviewing the expenditure for urgency", hertlein concluded his presentation and asked for approval. The CSU, the free democratic party, the SPD and the BWG then also proposed this-. In addition, however, praise and thanks to the chamber and the reference to keep the personnel costs in the eye.

After less than ten years, the turf playing field of the school sports facility in wiesenstrabe needs to be renovated. In 2009, the former dr.-stocke stadium rebuilt by the city. The missing or hopefully only incorrectly executed drainage of the sports field pleases the earthworms in the damp subsoil. And because the worms constantly eat their way through the soil layers, a correspondingly large amount comes out the back of them. The accumulated excrement of the worms makes it impossible for the players to play tricky ball handling and dribbling, in short: the pitch is unplayable.

After the vote of the building and environment senate on wednesday, the pitch is now to be intensively maintained on the one hand, and on the other, the drainage of the playing field is to be made functional. The drainage of the water into the river itz is also checked. It was found that on the one hand water was backing up in the drainage pipes, and on the other hand the drainage pipes under the playing field were at least not connected, if not completely missing.

In october, the christian social union (CSB) parliamentary group requested that the turf field be renovated this year. The soccer players of FC coburg, who play their games there, also complained.

Bernhard ledermann presented three scenarios for the future of the sports field to the building and environment senate: firstly, maintenance could be intensified, secondly, only the turf could be mown down, aerated and sanded, and finally, the drainage system could be brought up to scratch. At the so-called "dream game of the bayernfanclub red residenz against FC bayern munchen at the end of august 2017, the pitch was in a good condition "at the end of august, the stagnant rain worm activity returned", according to the head of the civil engineering office.

Last september, the land office probed the playing field at 15 points. For this purpose, ten-centimeter-diameter turf patches were cut out to a depth of 20 centimeters. One result: water is accumulating in some places under the average 15-centimeter-thick turf base layer, and there is no bonding layer between the turf base layer and the building foundation. Instead, a drainage system with pipes was installed at the time. There is also a so-called slot drainage system, but there are no drainage pipes from the playing field in the ring pipe around the playing field, at least on the central side. There are also no drainage pipes connected to the collection line under the center line. This is the result of an inspection by the disposal and construction company with a camera.

According to the construction files of the sports field, there had to be such pipe drains, after all, they were planned and accounted for at that time. According to the head of the grounds department, excavations and, if necessary, functional tests were carried out in order to clarify the situation. "If the proof or the functional test fails, the drainage system must be strengthened by subsequent installation." for this alone, ledermann estimated the cost at 45,000 to 50,000 euros.

Gerhard knoch, head of the coburg waste disposal and construction company, was head of the coburg civil engineering office during the reconstruction of the stocke stadium in 2006 and 2007, under whose leadership the construction work was carried out. Knoch on the drainage pipes: "the things are there," he said! There is no fraud!", he was sure. It is possible that at that time the drainage pipes were not connected to the ring pipe. Such errors could well have occurred. Knoch recalled that the sports field "has worked well for ten years".

The rainwater sewer of the dr.-stocke plant leads into the itz. In case of high water, a backwater flap closes and pumps drain the water away. When the drainage system was examined, water had accumulated in it. Therefore, it must be clarified whether the derivation into the itz is sufficient. It is now to be ensured that this system functions properly.

After a site meeting on 13. September of last year, a memo from the land office states: "at present, the pitch is difficult to play on, if not impossible, due to the rain and worms. If the drought is dry enough, towing or. Sweeping a sufficient to good playability of the square be restored." according to the words of grunflachenamtsleiter bernhard ledermann rainworms in the field are not a problem exclusively in the stocke-sportanlage. But this place is permanently too wet in the summer months.

The members of the building and environment senate were shocked by the condition of the sports field at wiesenstrabe. A thorough renovation of the sports field cost around 400,000 euros and took at least half a year to complete. Any recourse against the construction company that was active at the time will probably not exist after this long time, the tenor said.

You just want to give something back quickly at the aldi checkout and run hard naked into the wrong door? They put on makeup in the morning and think that this is their face, until they realize in the evening that this is only my makeup. – if such irritations haunt you more often, then you belong to the "adaptive" ones. Their number is clearly increasing, which is no wonder, given the increasing madness at all levels in this society.
For all those who are not yet completely absorbed by the matrix, there will be a cultural event in april that may help more than hurt: radio influenza will be active again, this time with a film "impressionen anpassungsgestorter" at the utopolis cinema in coburg. And a little bit around it, of course, because one of the creators of radio influenza, ahmet ozer, says it right away: "so me… I do not keep my mouth shut."
And that’s it. Johannes titze and ahmet ozer, two friends from coburg, did not want to keep their mouths shut in the face of said madness, but they also did not want to go on stabbing people in the wounds and stirring things up and so on. One of them, titze, works in television and film and is the father of three children, the other, ozer, has a wild biography of a machine builder, core driller, cowboy, and he doesn’t even know what he has done. Both with a penchant for art, asked themselves how they could transform themselves and the world, how they could gain influence, and so called radio influenza into being around 2012. There were shows between video art and speech rounds with belly dance, in the riding hall, in the weird, in the public space.
And, yes, they want to be contagious, want more people to notice the madness. All this violence on the internet and in reality, the general exhaustion "well, I get burnout just watching TV", ahmet ozer turns head and eyes. What he also plays in the film. He comes to his friend, completely exhausted, asks for advice, gets possible solutions and these are then played in and out in cinematic scenes. "He says, "that’s more like the crazy one between the two of us, johannes tietze explains the constellation "and i am left with the task of sorting out and realizing the situation." technically this happens in the basement studio in coburg north. Everything is self-made, including the music, preferably electronically.
It is not explicitly about coburg, but very much so, there are a lot of influences, many people are involved, they will also find themselves, yes, that’s what it’s all about, participation, get involved, it won’t work without you, the more colorful, the better the event. So the two fall in their enthusiasm into the word. And this is how the film of about 60 minutes was made (or better still in the making), without script, improvising, living. "First we had the date, then the location, i.E. The cinema with the big screen and the small stage in front of it, and then we asked ourselves what we were going to do with it", reports titze. "This approach has been preserved with us, it will be good."
the duo has no budget, after all, they want to remain independent. But the fact that oskar heublein from utopolis is already running constant commercials before the films for this event, which is presented as part of the vhs cinema initiative, makes them very happy.
How the film continues beyond coburg "well, let’s show it here first, let’s see if people like it" titze remains on the ground. After all, titze and ozer see themselves as being responsible to the extent that they will be able to arrange for the film to be shown on the 18th of december. April in any case want to provide further help, at a merchandising booth, with a little music, a few drinks of course…

Cinema utopolis coburg impressions adaptation supporter. A film evening by ahmet ozer and johannes titze. 18. April, 20.15 o’clock. Tickets are available at the volkshochschule coburg and at the cinema box office.
