The Town Hall Must Burst! – Request for Support – Citizens' Initiative and Urban Development Agreement in Braunsbedra – Current StatusOn April 17, 2024, the Braunsbedra city council will meet. Sina Anklam from the Citizens’ Initiative Braunsbedra asks the city’s residents for support in promoting more democracy and the will of the citizens. On March 6, 2024, the Braunsbedra city council discussed the citizens’ initiative and the urban development agreement. The city council gave its majority approval for a citizens’ initiative. The question to be answered is: "Are you in favor of no open-space photovoltaic systems (solar parks) being built on agricultural land (arable land with a soil value over 25) within the city area of Braunsbedra?" The following city council members voted in favor of the citizens’ initiative (14 yes / 10 no votes): Mr. Brand, Mr. Soldmann, Mr. Cechol, Mr. Grätsch, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Schmeißer, Mr. Höppner, Mr. Poprawa, Mr. Wald, Mr. Geißler-Brettschneider, Mr. Schier, Mr. Pätzold, Mr. Härzer, Mr. Berndt. The reasons given by the supporting council members were as follows:
Mayor Steffen Schmitz refers to the currently ongoing development procedure for development plan No. 22 "Agri-PV Solarpark Krumpa" and thus justifies the "inadmissibility" of the survey. He already announced his objection at the meeting on March 6, 2024. The decision of the city council members is not accepted by the mayor. He is not willing to collect or listen to the citizens’ votes. According to the mayor’s statements, the municipal constitution requires that the decision be submitted to the city council a second time. The second submission of the citizens’ initiative will therefore take place on April 17, 2024. Should the city council members vote in favor again, the mayor is already threatening with objection and submission to the municipal supervisory authority. The result of the citizen survey would be binding for the city and is to be prevented. As an alternative / offer of assistance, a request signed by 10 city council members was submitted calling for a citizen survey to involve and hear citizens’ opinions. According to this, the citizen opinion is to be determined in the context of the municipal election – as a basis and support for the upcoming decision. The precise wording of the survey question has not yet been finalized. Nevertheless, the mayor declared this citizen survey illegal. The citizens’ voices are not to be heard here. The urban development agreement was also not approved in the meeting on March 6, 2024. It is also to be submitted again on April 17, 2024. This agreement between the investor and the city regulates the cost assumption. Citizens’ Initiative Braunsbedra on Facebook  Author: AI-Translation - Sina Anklam | vor dem 01.07.2024 |
