Untermerzbach relies on continuity: the full-time mayor remains!

At the last meeting of the Untermerzbach municipal council, an important decision was made: the full-time mayor will continue to serve in the town hall. This agreement was reached without any discussion and unanimously, which speaks for a harmonious working atmosphere in the council. NP Coburg reports that the public meeting on Monday evening only lasted 18 minutes and was chaired by Second Mayor Dieter Reisenweber, as the First Mayor was unable to attend due to a short-term illness.

A total of four agenda items and additional information were discussed during this short meeting. What was particularly pleasing was the unanimous approval of a building application that envisages the conversion of former practice rooms into a holiday apartment. An application for a residential building extension in Gereuth also received the same positive result after just two minutes of deliberation. This shows that the local council's work supports the community's construction projects and actively supports progressive projects.

Building projects and local council

A member of the local council had also suggested implementing a right of co-decision regarding building permits in ongoing processes. However, this is not compatible with the current legal situation. Loud RFTH The mayor is not obliged to involve the council in such decisions. This means that the building law authority can act independently in municipalities where co-decision is not required, which makes the process more efficient.

Nevertheless, it is important for those responsible to inform the responsible committees about relevant construction projects. In many cases, the Environment and Technology Committee takes on this task to ensure that all necessary safety measures can be taken for significant projects. Although this procedure could not involve the local council directly, it is important for comprehensive control and examination of all ongoing projects.

In summary, the meeting of the Untermerzbach local council shows that clear structures and a common goal prevail. The positive decisions regarding construction projects reflect the willingness to actively promote the development of the community. Even if there are no rights of co-decision within the legal framework, the members work to make their community future-proof and to make transparent decisions.
