The Head of state administration of Slobodzeya and Slobodzeya district reported to the President, the Head of Administration of the President of the PMR, the chairman of local Council and deputies representing the district in the Supreme Council.
Vasily Tishenko reminded that Slobodzeya district, formed in 1971, is one of the largest in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. It consists of 25 settlements - different in population and state of the infrastructure. Totally 83.171 people live in the Slobodzeya district, the Head of the state administration recalled. According to the presented data, the demographic situation is not the best: the birth rate is noticeably less than mortality rate, the number of divorces exceeds the number of marriages.
Vasily Tishenko called the execution of the municipal budget the main activity of state administration. Last year, this figure reached 112%. The tax collection plan was implemented at 104%. At the same time, the tax arrears in extra-budgetary funds remain serious: 151 enterprises underpaid an amount equal to the annual budget of the district. Formally, many of them actually bankrupt for a long time and stopped economic activity, the Head stated. According to him, the state administration together with tax inspectors and bailiffs conducts systematic work with debtor enterprises.
Referring to the implementation of various targeted programs, the Head of the Slobodzeya State Administration noted that the most significant in 2018 was the capital investment program. “You can call it a breakthrough. Previously, we could allocate no more than 4 million rubles for the repair and construction of infrastructure facilities. Last year, under the program, we received 16 million,” reminded Vasily Tishenko. 8 facilities were repaired with these funds. Infrastructure rehabilitation will continue at the expense of the capital investment fund this year. In spite of the fact that the priority direction of the season-2019 is healthcare, at the urgent request of Slobodzeya residents, repair and construction work will begin in two local houses of culture. In general, this sector, according to Vasily Tishenko, is one of the most problematic in terms of the condition of buildings and premises. At the same time, the sphere of culture itself, along with sports, is a subject of particular pride of the Head of Slobodzeya. He told the President about the numerous achievements of local art groups and athletes.
Returning to the programs, Vasily Tishenko informed the President about the allocation in 2018 of 2.2 million rubles for street lighting. 1024 lamps were purchased and installed. Central streets are illuminated in almost all localities of the district. Work in this direction will continue. Effectively, according to the Head, the allocated funds under the program of execution of orders of voters are used. We are talking about the sum of 800 thousand rubles. Based on the number of parliamentarians representing the interests of Slobodzeya residents (8 deputies) in the legislature. Computer equipment was bought for this money, playgrounds were built in kindergartens, facades of buildings and premises of institutions of the school, pre-school and additional education, as well as culture were repaired, the water supply network was expanded, street lighting was carried out. This year, amounts twice as high as last year are allocated to the execution of voter orders. The President called on parliamentarians and district leaders to consolidate their use of these funds.
They talked today about Slobodzeya housing and communal services. It consists of 6 housing authorities that serve 123 multi-storey houses. The financial situation of organizations is difficult. Some improvement was outlined with the tightening of standards related to the payment of services for the removal of solid waste. At the moment, more than 20 thousand contracts have been concluded. Additional funds allowed starting updating the special equipment. According to Vasily Tishenko, the activities of housing and communal organizations require constant and strict control by the district administration and audit bodies.
Problematic is the situation with the elevators. This issue was raised during the meeting by parliamentarians. The most difficult situation is in Pervomaisk. At the moment, 4 elevators are under repair. Another 10 lift cabins need attention. Complaints from citizens are received constantly, but not everyone is ready to pay for the provision of this type of service, it was noted during the discussion of this issue.
Serious attention in the course of the meeting was paid to agriculture. Slobodzeya district is originally agrarian. At all times, it was a supplier of agricultural products for processing enterprises located in cities. In the area is 68 thousand hectares of land. 402 land users are registered. The status of legal entities is 116 economic entities. The efficiency of land use is different. At the same time there are no clear parameters for its determination, it was noted during the working conversation. Vasily Tishenko supposes that we need not only legally fix criteria, but also a system of burdening agricultural producers. In his opinion, for example, grain exporters should be obliged to grow other crops in parallel or to develop animal husbandry. The interlocutors are confident that important aspect for the successful development of agriculture is the mechanization of labor. In addition, it is necessary to involve more people in the agrarian business, it was noted during the meeting. A recent example: one of the Slobodzeya agricultural firms turned to the employment center, indicating the need for 250 pairs of workers. There were only 17 people willing to go out to the field to collect onions and potatoes. The President spoke about employment situation and the existing distortions. Vadim Krasnoselsky, noting that the unemployment rate was reduced threefold compared to 2016, voiced the following data: the ratio of the number of official unemployed and vacancies at the labor exchange is 1/8. Specialists need to retrain for a new occupation and work on changing generally accepted philosophy - to involve citizens in new areas of activity, to engage in the real sector of the economy, the President considers. With regard to proposals aimed at the development of agriculture: Vadim Krasnoselsky urged not to conceal ideas and voice initiatives. The nearest productive platform for the exchange of views is the upcoming meeting of the Collegium of the Ministry of Agriculture.
