Various grant applications or other applications with follow-up costs for the City are on the agenda at the Moosburg City Council meeting next Monday. Therefore, on the third day of the 2023 budget deliberations in the Finance Committee, Treasurer Martin Krumbucher and Mayor Josef Dollinger (FW) appealed to all involved not to overdo the questions. Especially in view of the mortgages that will have to be taken out next year in order to be able to meet all the planned investments. “I ask you to consider this with all applications and voluntary services,” said Mayor Josef Dollinger (FW), “a private individual does not take a loan in order to then donate”.
A levy of more than five million euros is planned for next year “although we can count on key appropriations and count on trade and income taxes at a level we have never had before,” said the treasurer. “However, there is nothing left in the administrative budget, please note this in your questions.” “We cannot avoid the planned loan of 16 million euros,” Krumbucher stressed, referring to the district office, which he is examining closely: “They say we cannot take out such a loan every year.”
Mayor Dollinger is a little sickened by the optimistic expectations of the two tax revenues that have been recommended in City and Community Day reports. “With the expected twelve million euros in trade tax, I have a bit of a stomach ache – it could also be that there is another dent.” He is also worried about the administrative budget, “where we are in the doldrums of one, if not two million euros, if one thinks that in reality we should allocate 1.5 million euros to the property budget”. Instead, a lot of money flows in the opposite direction.
