Building office in Höxter: FBI proposes radical savings!

In the current discussion about the budget situation in Höxter, the faction of the Freie Bürger Initiative (FBI) has submitted a proposal to implement possible savings in the building authority. In view of personnel changes and the tense financial situation, the FBI sees a shift in tasks as a possible way to reduce pressure on urban finances.

The FBI suggests transferring the central tasks of the city administration to the district administration. This would correspond to the approach of other cities in the circle that have already taken this step. This measure would mean that the decision about building applications is no longer made in Höxter but at the district level. This could be seen as an efficient solution that would not only reduce costs in the long run, but also relieve the work in the building authority.

So far, the city of Höxter had decidedly rejected such outsourcing. Those responsible referred to the importance of urban tasks, especially with regard to major events such as the upcoming state garden show. The focus was on the fact that the city of Höxter must have the necessary capacities in order to be able to act at all times on such important occasions. However, the FBI sees this argument a failure and argues that considerable savings would be possible by outsourcing the building application process.

The discussion about the realignment of the tasks could not only lead to relief for urban finances, but also to a more efficient processing of building applications in the region. An important aspect here is the preparation of the city for future challenges resulting from the demands on the administration and the implementation of large projects. The FBI hopes to trigger a broad discussion with its proposal, which could ultimately be in the interest of the city and its citizens.
