A loan was originally intended for 2021. However, since the second construction phase of the village renewal in Gollachostheim will be cheaper and a piece of land cannot be acquired, according to the words of Gollhofen’s mayor Heinrich Klein, it looks like the community can do without new credit. The municipal council unanimously approved the budget with a total volume of around 8.43 million euros.
In the administrative budget (2.82 million euros), income from own taxes and general financial allocations of 1.83 million euros are budgeted. The finance department expects a trade tax income of one million euros. Last year, despite Corona, the income here was higher than expected, Klein announced.
High social spending
The district levy increased by 48,200 euros compared to the previous year to a new high of 572,200 euros. In addition, the key assignment drops for the second year in a row by 73,300 euros to 15,300 euros. This is due to the good income of the past few years. As a result, the municipality has a high tax and apportionment power. According to statistics, the municipality currently ranks fourth in the district, 16 in the Middle Franconia district and 278 in the state.
The main impact on the administrative budget is the high expenditure in the social area. The contributions to the Uffenheim elementary and middle school and the Lipprichhausen school association total 67,000 euros. Around 265,000 euros have to be paid for the day-care centers. After deducting all current expenses, the addition to the budget is 120,000 euros.
The asset budget (5.61 million euros) is characterized by two major projects. This is the connection to the Ippesheim sewage treatment plant with the construction of the pressure lines between Gollachostheim-Gollhofen and Gollhofen-Ippesheim, the purchase of the Ippesheim sewage treatment plant, the new construction of the pumping station in Gollachostheim and the creation of two rain basins.
Credit is probably not needed
The second major project is village renewal in Gollachostheim. Around 2.33 million euros are included in the budget for water, sewage and road construction measures.
270,000 euros have been budgeted for the new construction of the roundabout in the area of the GollIpp association, which will be reimbursed in full by the association. For the renovation of the singer hall in Gollachostheim, 20,000 euros are initially available.
The planned investment measures are financed through income from the sale of building sites, the collection of improvement contributions, subsidies from the Free State, the investment lump sum, a withdrawal from the general reserve of 2.1 million euros ?? an addition to the reserve is therefore not planned. A loan of around 300,000 euros is planned, but this will probably not be needed.
The second construction phase of the village renewal Gollachostheim will be eleven percent cheaper. According to Klein, a plot of land near the kindergarten cannot currently be purchased. Financially, things are also looking good in terms of sewage measures. Since it is possible to switch to a new funding, this is a little less, but more can be packed into the funding, explained Klein.
Participation in the local authority network
There was approval in the local council to join the association for municipal traffic monitoring in Upper Palatinate. The municipal council must then decide whether the stationary or the flowing traffic are controlled. Gollhofen is represented in the association assembly by Mayor Heinrich Klein or his deputy Helmut Stapf.
The local council decided unanimously to participate in the local authority network. Klein said that this would improve cyber security. In the future, the council members will also benefit from the council information system. Elke Guttroff from the administration presented the necessary steps to the committee.
