Depreciation makes Oberreichenbach to create
“Of course, a balanced budget must be the goal, also in the following years,” remarked Merkle. In the future, increasing population numbers and thus more key assignments will help. Taxes and fees would have to be checked in the future, especially in the case of wastewater, and the area of voluntary services would also have to be carefully examined. Oberreichenbach could not generate the depreciation, added Mayor Karlheinz Kistner, but around a million euros in debt could have been reduced in the past 20 years – although a lot had been invested at the same time. In addition, Kistner referred to the high reserve. According to the meeting proposal, the municipal treasury had “an extraordinarily high amount in the account” at around 5.6 million euros at the end of 2020. This could finance all projects planned until 2024. And according to the current status, without a cent credit, as Kistner pointed out. The town hall chief praised the excellent cooperation and the consistency in savings that this was thanks to. He thanked the council, treasurer Merkle and all employees.
