New wind in the Klagenfurt town hall: Jandl announces reforms!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - In the Klagenfurt town hall there is a state that is known to many as "chaos". The new magistrate director Isabella Jandl, who was previously authorized at the Vienna Wohnservice, has set the ambitious goal of tackling these problems. "I am happy to be back in this beautiful city and actively shape it," said Jandl. It plans to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the current situation and to have discussions with all department heads in order to identify the most important challenges. Above all, the personnel costs, which recently made 36 percent of the budget, are to be examined. Jandl emphasizes the need for a structural and personnel reform to ensure efficient basic care of the Klagenfurt population, as in the report of kaernten.at

An acute need for action resulted from the financial situation of the city. The Klagenfurt city government must implement a drastic twelve -fold regulation from January, which means that all voluntary services have to be deleted until further notice. These measures are essential to restore the stability of the city finances. With regard to overtime, which are a big issue for both the professional fire brigade and Klagenfurt, Jandl will ensure that only necessary and legally covered overtime is approved. While Jandl's predecessor, Peter Jost, was often the focus of the media, she considers the regulations to be "very well regulated" and assures that all decisions are made in the interests of the city.

city history and administration

The challenges that Klagenfurt is now standing are not new. The city has an eventful history that was shaped by various political tours, many of which can be found in the list of mayors of Klagenfurt. This list illustrates the political landscape and the developments of the city over the decades, with Christian Scheider, since April 8, 2021, as 1st mayor and Ronald Rabitsch, as 2nd mayor, as reported on de.m.wikipedia.org . Due to the ongoing political change and the necessity of the reforms, Klagenfurt faces a time of upheaval, which is shaped by Jandl's visionary approach and the previous political history.
