The Heads of town and districts continue to report to the President on the activities of administrations in 2019. Today Vadim Krasnoselsky heard the report of the Head of Slobodzeya district and Slobodzeya. The report of Vasily Tishenko reflects detailed information about various spheres of the region’s life - from demographic indicators to an economic analysis of the development of both the region as a whole and Slobodzeya enterprises. Traditionally, the Head of the PMR Presidential Administration, representatives of the government’s leadership, as well as deputies of the Supreme and local councils take part in the reporting meeting.
82303 people live in the Slobodzeya district. During the year 530 children were born, 1278 people died. A number of registered marriages (255) is slightly higher than divorces (240). These indicators are of concern to district leaders. Vasily Tishenko spoke about the need to take a set of measures in order to change the situation for the better. The Head of the district considers the stable development of the district, which allows young professionals to live and work in Slobodzeya or the villages of the district. Among the effective mechanisms, he considers state assistance to young families in acquiring housing.
Another category of citizens who urgently need a solution to the housing problem is orphans. The Head informed participants the meeting that, thanks to the republican program, it was possible to provide housing for 12 orphans. Vasily Tishenko associates great hopes in resolving the issue with the work of the Capital Investment Fund. As an object of restoration and, thus, replenishment of the housing stock, he suggests considering empty dormitories in the villages of Pervomaisk and Krasnoe. Vasily Tishenko said that thanks to the work of the fund of capital investment, the construction of the choreographic department of the Pervomaisk art school was completed in 2019, an arcade complex was created, the central part of the city was reconstructed, and the Culture Houses of Vladimirovka and Ternovka were restored.
Informing about the implementation of the district budget, the Head of the district said that in 2019, the revenue plan was overfulfilled by almost 4.5%. They exceeded planned tax revenues by 6.9%, revenues of the target environmental fund by 5%. At the same time, business revenues, for example, were 15% lower than expected.
Deputy Prime Minister Stanislav Kasap, recalling that Slobodzeya district is subsidized and receives annual transfers from the state budget in the amount of about 50 million rubles, asked whether the revenue growth of the local budget is expected in the future and what is being done to do this. According to Vasily Tishenko, there are no breakthrough initiatives, the implementation of which would lead to a serious increase in tax revenues. There are no large producers in the Slobodzeya district a number of individual entrepreneurs is small. The task is to maintain performance at least at the current level. The area is a source of raw materials. Therefore, the main hope is for agricultural producers. The meeting participants spoke about measures to support farmers. One of them is the state order for agricultural products.
There are more than 400 agricultural enterprises of various forms of ownership in Slobodzeya and the surrounding villages. The proximity of the largest cities of Pridnestrovie - Tiraspol and Bendery - has a beneficial effect on the economic activity of the region, most of which is occupied by agricultural land. The President instructed to monitor the effectiveness of land management. The use of each allotment should occur within the intended purpose.
Another topic of the reporting meeting is the road infrastructure of the district. Municipal property of Slobodzeya district contains 705 kilometers of roads. At the expense of the Road Development Program last year, work was done on the installation and repair of asphalt concrete (17938 sq.m.), cement concrete (1187 sq.m.) and gravel (21911 sq.m.) pavements. In addition, sidewalks were repaired on the streets of the district, parking lots were arranged, and fifty road signs were replaced.
Participants in the working meeting spoke about the lighting of rural streets: the central and axial ones must be provided with light, the President emphasized. Vasily Tishenko spoke about the work already done in this direction. The Head of the district considers it appropriate to withdraw funding for street lighting from the road fund.
It was about the removal of municipal solid waste. The situation in rural areas has improved markedly - landfills have been eliminated, and new ones are not allowed. But there is a difficulty with charging fees from users of services for the removal of solid waste. The deputies consider that it is necessary to inform the population more about the current mechanism in order to minimize the number of cases when the villagers unknowingly form a debt. A question was raised about the size of the tariff. There are opinions that it is advisable to lower it. Vasily Tishenko explained that the currently established fee - 92.3 rubles per cubic meter of garbage removed - is minimal. It is calculated on the basis of export once every two weeks. If you collect and export solid waste every week, which would be much more efficient, then the tariff will have to be increased to 115 rubles, the Head of the district said.
The deputies in the course of the meeting spoke about good interaction with the local administration. This aspect is considered to be significant by the President.
Vasily Tishenko in this regard informed that during 2019, 531 people applied to the state administration with written statements. 102 residents of the district came to personal reception to the Head of the district. Mostly residents of Slobodzeya worried about housing problems, land issues, construction, utilities.
Summing up the meeting, Vadim Krasnoselsky noted that he was satisfied with the activities of the State Administration of Slobodzeya District and Slobodzeya, expressed gratitude for the work and aimed at its effective continuation.
