Dorf Mecklenburg increased fees, rents, leases

For the first time in 15 years the town must develop a domestic security concept again. The reason is a deficit of 574 000 euros as a result of budget.

Dorf Mecklenburg (OZ) - In the past three years, the municipality recorded by significantly higher state allocations, additional funding of the classification as a basic center, and higher business taxes even surpluses. This year, the village of Mecklenburg budgeting switched to the double-entry bookkeeping and then has the result of a budget deficit of 574 000 euros. The reason is the decline by 310 500 Euro country allocations and additional expenditure of 172 400 euros for county and office sharing as well as for the first time raised around sold to Wismar.
"Already it is a disadvantage compared to the previous year of 772 800", said Mayor Peter Sawiaczinski (FWG). There are also collective labor costs and increases the overall yearly price increase.

There is no peculiarity at the school load balancing for the Associated Regional and high school "Tisa von der Schulenburg. According to Dorf Mecklenburg Schools Act shall make no load balancing for the regional school unit. Other communities from which children attend the school, could pay a voluntary contribution. This is not them because of their deficient households but possible. The grammar portion cofinanced by agreement with the county. The bottom line has Dorf Mecklenburg 90 000 € less income.

The financial budget is balanced, however. All scheduled payments, including investments, which fund community. Since for the double-entry budget is still no opening balance, the Finance Department of the Office Dorf Mecklenburg-Bad Kleinen the amount of capital represented yet.

The debt to the community breaks down continuously, is € 1.136 million. This is equivalent to 384 euro per capita. To figures she has two loans: the construction of the multi-purpose hall and the renovation of the school.

Weildorf Mecklenburg significantly dependent on state allocations, it must adjust its spending habits. can the financial and the Main Committee have therefore discuss measures on how to increase their income and the community to reduce their spending. These proposals, as well as those from the Finance Department have been combined in a household fuse concept.

She also wants to rent additional parking spaces that are still free, as the Mecklenburg in the street. At the multipurpose hall, the monthly usage fee for permanent and short-term parking will be increased from eight to twelve €. This promises the town additional revenues of around 7,000 € per year.

The roof on the kindergarten and the school building it has rented to a company, it will be operating photovoltaic panels. This brings the community around 1500 € and it has no costs for care and maintenance of the roofs.

It was decided to also raise the rent for the municipal garage area from 35 to 45 €. This means higher yields of around 2400 €.

To further secure the budget for the community wants to see if they have land, especially small splinter areas that can already make use of adjacent property owners are selling.

Not least the community will reduce their voluntary services in 2011 by 0.25 per cent (10 500 euros). You already now only 2.48 percent of all expenses in an income budget.

The plan is to increase the fees for library users moderate. The fee schedule for sports / multi-purpose hall will be revised. "The use is extended to the foyer," said the mayor. "We will offer private parties for a reasonable rent." The rinsed € 5,000 in the till.

All of these consolidation measures to improve the financial situation as a whole by 168 600 euros. The ten community representatives present unanimously adopted the security concept.

The tenants are satisfied

Ganderkesee. How much you pay for shop rental in Delmenhorst? This question entrepreneurs and homeowners again, says the council. Control values for commercial rents could not offer the employees so far. By now appeared rental levels, based on surveys from August, this has changed.
"As a first step we have to all tenants of shops in the central areas of care, asked for their rental terms," said Helga down by the economic development. On average, retailers pay rent, according to Spiegel € 8.85 per square foot in the 1a position of the place. The rich range of 3.80 € to 15 €, with maintenance fees and taxes are not included.

"This difference is partly explained by the size of the rooms and the proportion of secondary areas," said Daun. Also playing at the rents the situation a certain role. Thus, the average square meter price falls in the other layers of the so-called central service area, ie the inner city, lower by two euro than in the 1a position, which represents the area at the Town Hall road. On a constant price can forward three quarters of respondents - they report steady rents.

However, not only on the level of costs is the survey information. When asked about their satisfaction with the property, three quarters of all tenants have expressed positive. In particular, the accessibility and the design of the immediate environment - say, lighting, landscaping and cleanliness in the neighborhood - achieved top marks in the survey. The layout of the building however, brought three out of ten entrepreneurs problems.

The survey result as a reliable guide welcomes Wilm Denker, vice-chairman of Gantermarketing. "The rent levels provides entrepreneurs with confidence: If you know what the averages, you can compare themselves," says Denker, pointing out that benefit not only tenants but also the landlord of commercial premises of the survey results. "Conversely, the rent level is also a guide to landlord. You can better estimate what your property is worth exactly. So there are some security." The same is true for potential entrepreneurs who move Ganderkesee as a location for their business into consideration.

Helga down stressed that the survey results were unreliable for the central area Ganderkesee. "With 30 percent, we achieved a very high response rate," said Daun happy about it, give the premises statistically meaningful data to the single source. Regrets, however, the management staff that participation in Bookholzberg turned out to be small, so that this center could not be included in the analysis - the data had not been reliable enough. The municipality announced that more tests will follow to other real estate such as office space.

Holiday chalets are rented illegally

Grindelwald is increasing evidence that the Lex Koller is bypassed for some foreigners.

The Grindelwald Winter attracts people from all over the world in warm and sometimes luxuröse wooden houses. (Keystone)

Meeting with dynamite
Grindelwald made headlines when it became known that the rules for the fight against vacant second homes were massively violated. At the community meeting today will now be voted on Friday with firmer measures against cold beds. Firstly, there would be a community initiative, which seeks to curtail development on 2,000 square meters floor area per year - that calls for quotas for second homes. But the council is proposing improvements. So shall also keep newly registered in an agricultural zone housing for locals - at the moment, more and more Meiensässe converted into chalets. At the same time, however, could aim to promote the buy-out in the regulations, the homes for local people, are possible.
In Grindelwald, the world is welcome, even for a long time. The village from which the glaciers have long since retired lives, not least of visitors who are in the mood for unspoiled mountain scenery. Many of them secure a share of it by purchase a chalet. Now there are new signs that the permit subject to sale of land to foreigners, not everything has proceeded right things.

In this case, the Federal Office of Justice had already ordered an investigation some time ago. The municipality announced but only last year that no violations had been found against the so-called Lex Koller. This good news had Grindelwald necessary. Recently, it is in Switzerland that is primarily as a place in the headlines, where the rooms and rent as many apartments is more important than the right - or at least in the past (see box).

Too much sold to foreigners?

Clear requirements makes the law to foreigners not residing in Switzerland: You may not rent their property year-round one here. But several apartments, which act on the official Grindelwald Lex-Koller-list will be posted on the internet all year round. For example, since an "exclusive penthouse" in a "new chalet" would be to a London one and can be rented all year round. "We were not aware that this is forbidden," said Mayor Emanuel Schlaeppi. The community had never been given a mandate to review the Lex Koller in terms of rental apartments. "Such a control would be extremely difficult." Government governor Dietrich in the negative, that the municipality had received a firm order for review. "I accept the community have told my district, compliance with the law should be examined by appropriate means." While not compliant, but understandable Schläppi is of a fundamental objection to the Lex Koller uncommitted rental ban: "We prefer, the apartments are rented . Otherwise they are just so empty. "

Less evident - particularly in view of the struggle against cold beds - but that may be more residential property has been sold to foreigners than allowed. The Grindelwald regulations notes the following: In must-residential buildings with condominiums than a third of the gross floor area will be sold to persons abroad. 185 residential units are available on the Lex-Koller-list of the town, at least 10 seems to be the third to have been exceeded - a conclusion which imposes itself at least, given the sheer numbers. Mayor Schlaeppi as in the case to the governor, authorization and control were his task. Governor Dietrich said he let examine some cases - but need more time to determine whether by the "covenant" mentioned examples are there. Altogether there seems Dietrich's research time to claim, as Justice Director Christoph Neuhaus (SVP) held in April 2009 have been in his response to a motion, the clarifications to the Lex Koller had not yet completed. Even the "NZZ am Sonntag" made it easy chaos of the holiday village. In April she wrote to the Lex-Koller-list would find the land that did not exist in the land, and also included those Swiss.

Surfing with two degrees and snow on the beach

Water Klitmøller comes to life: In the scene called the Danish fishing village of Cold Hawaii. Hannes Gamillscheg

Squalls promises the weather forecast, wind gusts up to hurricane strength. Great, let's do it! A bad weather, perfect for lounging by the fireplace? Not in Klitmøller. Carsten Reck take the surfboard out of the car campers, brushing the wet suit and dives into the waves. But he is up north Friesland to the Danish North West coast, for 31 years, he surfs, he has long been coming here twice a year, at least. "The look is fantastic," he says, "you can sit in the car and see how the waves roll in.." Since the bay, the two bends, as is the undersea reef, 100 meters long and 100 wide, which "is always a wave, you can ride down the" se. Carsten meet her paddle, sits up, rises high and can be worn. "For that I am alive."

In Klitmøller, the locals say, 200 days a year the wind blows, and if he is not blowing, he stormed. " Them live the place. Early eighties was a German surfer on the way to Norway, as heavy storms crippled vessel traffic. He traveled while waiting along the coast and came to Klitmøller Bay. He saw the foaming waves, and knew that he had discovered something special. He took the board and was the first slipped into the water at the site, which insiders call "The Reef" and as Europe's best spots for wind and kite surfers praise.

"In the beginning was not even Klitmøller be found on the tourist map," says Ole Riis, tourism chief of the municipality Thisted. Last held the surfers from here even their World Cup. "Cold Hawaii" they call it paradise. Cold Hawaii: the old fisherman in Klitmøller could ever have imagined that their village times would get a nickname. This used to put on their boats, they auctioned off their catch at the quayside. Then shifted the business to Hanstholm, which was to Northern Europe's largest consumer fishing port. "From one day to the next left the fishermen Klitmøller" recalls Peter Mortensen, who was born here, "and we were left with an empty village and concerns over heels. Fishing was all we had." The boys moved away and did not return. 600 people were left,

And then came the surfers. Quite disorganized at first, and very unpopular. They parked where they wanted, they steal water and electricity, they were noisy and celebrated, and what they needed to live, had brought with them. "Either they disappear or we go," growled the locals. Until they slowly realized the opportunities that arose from the attractiveness of their pen. Since there were well-educated young people who were willing to move to the desert, because they live for their hobby. In Klitmøller IT companies and remote workstations have emerged from those places can only dream of comparable size. There was the hospital in Thisted, the earlier, as had all provincial hospitals, the greatest difficulties in attracting young doctors. Now pull the doctors about here to make an internship in their spare time they want the ocean.

There are the old, the buzz that the new claimed too much space. "But if go then surf own grandson, the grandfather will be soft," says Rasmus Fejerskov, who leads the surfers on the beach boutique west wind. He is ten years ago moved to Klitmøller, because of surfing. "I lived in Aarhus. Since it took two hours to come here. But in two hours, the perfect wave is gone." Now he has a house with a lake view from the bedroom window. "I look out in the morning and know what that is for another day."

938 inhabitants of the village now, about 100 permanent residents are from the surfing environment, about a third of them from abroad, they brought with them 40 children. Klitmøller lives again. Tourism also witnessed a boom. "It may be that the first surfers lived here for free, but when they get older, they rent a summer house and bring the family," says Fejerskov.

was "very excellent" since the coexistence of old and new residents, says Tage Grønkjúr, who returned as a pensioner in his home town and now in sport fishing club is in charge. "It's awesome, if it storms, the surfer on the sea and we do not at home when it blows, they are inside, and we go out.." Cod it catches in the spring, lobsters and crabs in the summer, herring in the fall. 58 boats and the club has 300 members, and once a month we meet to pea soup and boiled cod. Wilder will not Klitmøller. The days when surfing was a hippie sport with hash and wild parties are over.

"To see the athletes that come tomorrow the big waves, then you do not drink and go to bed early," said Eric Campbell of South Africa, he also an immigrant Surf. He is from Durban, and his seven-year-old Noah surfs already. Eric married a Danish woman, but she lived too far away from the water. Now all live in Klitmøller, and she takes the long way to the university to be. "Their hours there she knows in advance," he says with a grin, "when the wave comes, you never know."

"Long as a wall" is to be the perfect wave, says Rasmus Fejerskov, in addition to his business he has also got a surf school. The distance of wave crest must be as large as possible to crest: "12 seconds, 14, 16, the longer the better." This is the wave ride, which triggers a feeling of happiness that makes you forget all the annoyances. The Cold Weather of Hawaii, for example. "It was very strange to go with hat and gloves on the water," said Campbell, who surfed in his native South Africa in Bermuda shorts. But with the right equipment is everything. "Last winter there was snow on the beach and the water temperature was two degrees. No problem," he says. If it gets too cold, not the sea is to blame, but the wind. "It takes half an hour to come out of the water out of the gap and back into the warmth. Since you have to be careful that you do not hypothermic." Last year was a farmer on his tractor just in time for a surfer who had fainted because of the cold.

Surfer and "natives" have it all together themselves. You have rules found for their cooperation: no wild park, not sleeping in a car outside the campsite. This is the welcome surfers as athletes. And both groups recognize how much they have in common. "We share the respect from the sea and nature," says Campbell, "we want a clean environment and clean beaches." And as the local authority wanted to close the small local school in Klitmøller from savings reasons, led the newcomers to the protest. As a private school they should be continued, with increased involvement of parents. "The work is" is, Campbell believes, "now all see that we pull together."

Italians to denigrate their landlords

Italian capital Rome, many apartments rented black
In Italy, the tenant should continue to tell on their landlords if they rent black and thus evade taxes. Thus the government wants to rehabilitate the heavily indebted state - and makes the tenants an offer they can hardly refuse.

Hamburg - The Italian government desperately needs money. In the fight against the cash strapped urges the government of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, now preparing for yet almost untouched terrain: The Italian authorities want to pursue tax evaders and the sanctions - and set it according to a report in the Financial Times Germany "on the help of citizens.

After that, the government plans evade not only stiffer penalties for landlords, taxes. She wants to show the black rented flats and houses also for a period of four years with a government price dictation. So that could drastically reduce the rent: The new rent would in fact such zones in only one quarter of the current rent.

This reduction in rent to tenants with an incentive to report tax evaders-host for the financial police. For tenants know loud "FTD" in general, whether leases are registered in public or not. The government hopes to make sinful landlord honest taxpayers. According to the report, this could trigger a small Mietrevolution: In the Italian capital Rome to every other apartment be rented black, in other cities even more.

The new Mietsteuern according to newspaper report in future flow directly into the empty coffers of cities and towns. Cities such as Rome and Milan could count with revenues of up to € 400 million, citing the "FTD" a study. The Italian state annually lose billions of euros lost through tax evasion. Nevertheless, tax dodgers have been shown only rarely, the government refrained so far on the help of other citizens in the detection. Berlusconi tax evasion once even referred to as self-defense.
