Tingling Fingers And Blurred Vision

"Our flagship is the holding KVVH GmbH", says the group leader Rita Fromm in the council debate on 27 July 2010:

"The Participation Report 2009 shows that the Government has transferred many of their tasks into independent companies, foundations and sector associations, there are a total of 37 participations. Four companies have been added, which are hard on the border with the economic interests of local communities.
After GemO economic tasks may not be of any urban societies are taken over. Therefore, an expansion of urban business areas - for example on the energy and climate protection agency Karlsruhe gGmbH - ambivalent.
Because at this company shows that it is an activity which is not effected in the general interest and the purpose can be fulfilled just as well and economically by a private provider.
I add to this because to be identified by the GemO also limits the economic participation of urban societies.
After today we needed space for details of savings proposals will, unfortunately for the debate on the participation report is not the time that it considers appropriate would be. And the other TOP do have the space considered. Therefore stimulates my group to make this report to continue to the top of the agenda and take up less top to deliberate.
The report outlined the main balance sheet indicators, as well including the percentage shareholdings, major control and profit-transfer agreements and the related business objects.
If the displayed views of the 2010 fiscal year identical to the company's goals? As can be countered by possible differences? As an example,
mbH "Karlsruhe Bädergesellschaft, page 40 It says: "The first priority has still the increase in visitor numbers and in per capita sales ... customer satisfaction is fostered. To maintain this trend maintains, however, also increases the investment in additional deals are made. "
is because the question is whether the council should take note of this only, or whether the council should authorize the board to specify this investment and to take in order of importance? The
GemO gives the council the necessary democratic rights and influence the community can give to their representatives in private equity business transfer.
For there must also be the commercial law of this economic GmbH Considerations and the above mentioned objectives are reconciled. Here is revealed how difficult it is to control development objectives and economic considerations.
All this from me just touched upon questions are, we need to continue discussing in greater depth.
The FDP wants successful performance "

Are People Allowed On Planes With Pink Eye

"We want in Karlsruhe keep our students even after graduation,"

Our group supports very much the extension of the" student city "to a" science city of Karlsruhe, "said Tom Hoyem, Deputy Group Chairman in the council debate on 27 July 2010:
. It has taken me personally a few years before I the difference between my previous experiences from Munich, Oxford, Stockholm and Copenhagen and the situation in Karlsruhe understand it. The special feature that say right here in Karlsruhe, the students so "integrated". They live everywhere in our city and that's good. I know from experience how important ambassadors for our students Karlsruhe, and I think we can just use this function even more and support. A
Science Festival is a good idea, but it must be prepared in detail and professional, otherwise, an event to be embarrassing.
The competence and competition are global and the competition takes place at a very high level. Karlsruhe has not always one step ahead when it comes right to think internationally. I have a concrete proposal to the student accommodation. The city of Karlsruhe is the owner of the European School with huge grounds. With tram or bike through the forest is only 15 minutes from most universities. I'm not prejudiced, because if and when there is a dormitory realized I am determined in retirement.
I remember more than skeptical, so head-shaking reaction here in the local council and Youth Services Committee, when I proposed to build a Karlruher Kita on the site. Nevertheless, the KITA will now open the doors in October.
But we also want to be happy that our graduates remain here in Karlsruhe. It is not particularly helpful when the boss for the high school advises KIT open to study certain subjects to prefer in Heidelberg. .
We the connection between high school graduates in our region with our universities should have in high school deepen very carefully, "

"makes this Europe report me simultaneously happy and very sad, "said the Deputy Party Chairman Tom Hoyem.

it the position of the FDP parliamentary group said the municipal council on 27 July 2010:
" It is cheerful and positive that the Lisbon Treaty has finally understood the importance of local authorities in Europe for the European development.
The EU Commissioner Hahn has made clear that he is also known as "municipal commissioner" means.
Taking the subsidiarity principle seriously then you can understand the importance of the interaction between the general European developments and the local daily practical decisions.
This report provides an overview of the connecting factors of Karlsruhe on this EU Entwicklung.So far so good. But the report makes me in three aspects, but also sad. He sees Europe as the EU only - that is too narrow a view and he sees the EU as a source of money. Each page is: where can we get money.
This is really a sad way to assess the European Cooperation Sun The EU is not a bank, it is a vision that is implemented and will be.
I do not ask a long history and not poetry or poetry, but does make sense for our Karlsruher special identity. What I mean is that the fantastic European development manifested especially in the municipalities, the election law and eligibility for European citizens. It is likely that both I and Mr Fostiroupoulos can irritate colleagues in the House from time to time, but just this way, Europe is in local government practice. Therefore, it would be in such a report be interesting to know how many EU citizens Karlsruhe and how they are integrated.
sorry-but, excuse me, unfortunately, very typical of Karlsruhe is the fact that the report does not call a single word, the two EU institutions in Karlsruhe. It is
once for Karlsruhe, in Baden Wuerttemberg two EU institutions to have and we are talking about more than 500 employees and over 100 million euros in annual sales.
These two institutions are features for the European dimension, especially in our technology region. But this is no place in the report found.
We have to get used in the Karlsruhe local policy, to think with the European dimension. I propose that we organize once a year or perhaps every second year a meeting between our council and the elected members in our region in the European Parliament. It is not merely a meeting with kind words. It should be prepared in detail, with a very concrete agenda.
The European cooperation, including at the municipal level, fortunately, is much more than a wish list of funding sources "

Where Does Ice Start To Melt?

Today savings tomorrow structure optimizations needed urgently!

to fiscal consolidation, said the group chairman Rita Fromm on July 27, 2010:
." Today's consultation on the savings proposals administrative and political groups has led to fiscal consolidation in future years by the detailed agreement in the nature of anticipated financial advice. The question still remains
whether the council has the power and the will to change and the double-entry beyond administrative structures.
"The poor financial situation of Karlsruhe lies not only in loss of revenue - also on structural problems and this can only be solved structurally," says our core message.
is why for the FDP, the current advice on budgetary consolidation closely at how the medium and long term let by the services the city government more efficiently.
To reduce the projected deficit of 220 million EUR in the years 2010 to 2013 and clear that we need a hand, cost savings, but on the other hand, dynamic structures. So shall as the internal administrative operations are operations-instead of departments, and offices - are divided. These individual business units may not be seen as isolated topics. In consequence of this, the interfaces between associated companies, politics and administration can be optimized, and to eliminate duplication, improve coordination of tasks to control their errands effective and accompanied with a so-called "political controlling". Decisions must be transparent and comprehensible stronger synergies are recognized and exploited. So far, the GR
has not yet dealt with the bundling of duties. The first thing to be asked the question whether an object itself must be done really. This should be affirmative, it must search for effective solutions: for example, should an städt company focus on its core business. Concierge service and building maintenance could be from another department, designed to be done.
The FDP has very concrete proposals that can be saved as structurally about today's presentation also. This will bring in the next few weeks, in time for the September meeting of the GR, in time for the budget discussion. We continue to believe that only basic cuts undertake medium and long term goal, "
But some of our ideas, I am speaking today already, as they for the biennium 2011/2012, as accompanying Measures for the economy package, and to implement the 10-point program is needed.
1.About various consolidation measures of the administration concerning the local government level, we will decide only after a final consultation took place on the opinions of the local government for external expertise in the financial structure of the Commission. 2.The need a
we are all saving efforts in mind, if we decide today to save points or projects, we can not expect that to be in place for 2011, the funds we have. Existing agreements must be observed and alternatives are developed. This I ask in the financial planning and the considered medium.
third On the proposal of the savings BauOA: We have nothing against Standard reductions. But the GR was informed about what this means in practice? No. We do not accept blindly, we have confidence in the administration, but would like to know what we decide here!
the way, this applies to all restructuring, which are performance limitations to the capture of associated tasks - which we must be aware of as a city councilor and that we must in each case, do "

design of the proposed car park on the island of Werder

WERDER - Although many Werder and guests look forward to the planned by the city parking lot with 81 parking spaces at the Werder meadows, some residents criticized the design of the system. Both the owner of the house in the shooting lane 1 and residents complain that the city not to have needs of local residents taken into account. "We had hoped, after talks with the city, in the sense that it represents the residents alternatives for the scheduling of three high mast lights," says tenant Sabine Kinkel. "With the high lights in front of the door is made in our apartment the night into day." In a letter on behalf of the city had the planners informed the house owner, that although the proposed installation of wall lights in the new wall instead of the high "gallows Lanterns" for a good street lighting is used for the illumination a car park but was inappropriate. There was a significant risk of glare for the drivers and the other would not illuminate the place enough if the vehicles block wall lights. "Alternatives were not searched, only said what is not, criticized Kinkel.

FDP: "A stronger local councils and structures optimize"

Hitzig council discussed the FDP group and their liberal colleagues from the Karlsruhe Ortschaftsrat of the Government-commissioned report on the organization of local administrations and the Municipal Office Durlach. It includes an annual savings between 682 000 and more than 1 million €. the clustering of job transfers to the City Council Durlach - - In addition to recommendations for improvement is the model of team building in Karlsruhe East "is proposed. This leads to a centrality that the decentralization trends would conflict in Europe, warned Tom Hoyem, the City Council in Ortschaftsrat Grötzingen is. It was not an agent of a local municipal politics. Also, the recommendations are often too superficial, he criticized. Instead of the model, team-building 'solutions should be sought for co-operation between local authorities, without losing their essential unity, is Günther Malisius, Ortschaftsrat from Durlach with his colleagues from Grötzingen, Neureut Wolfartsweier and Weather Bach was unanimous. They also criticized that the efficiency of the Government in its relations with the local government had not been externally audited. Dieter King lamented: "The Reviewer is not always comprehensible figures may be made available have been. "
" The example in Karlsruhe with the Advisory Council do not recur.
First, you have devalued the Advisory Council and not taken seriously. It was then that body is not directly elected, the members only named and, Migration Advisory renamed.
It was the FDP, the direct election of local councils had proposed to the council. However, this only makes sense if these local councils have direct decision-making skills. "Therefore, the development around the local councils not only a discussion of possible savings, " warns Tom Hoyem. "
" cost reductions in the local government would be in the affirmative in principle, they would obviously need to be individually considered on the special events, "promised the FDP-council faction their Ortschaftsrat colleagues.
" For the local councils to comply with the incorporation of treaties of great significance, " . warned Klaus Merz, Ortschaftsrat from Neureut
