This was decided by the Council at its meeting on February 22 at the suggestion of Lord Mayor Frank Klingebiel.
The management of the graduation pavilion was already taken over by the municipal management company (SRB) at the end of 2021. Technical maintenance will be carried out by the municipal Bäder, Sport und Freizeit Salzgitter GmbH (BSF). Klingebiel: "The construction of the graduation pavilion by the citizens' association has led to a significant enhancement of the rose garden in Salzgitter-Bad. For the image of Salzgitter-Bad as a state-recognized town with a brine spa, the graduation pavilion is an indispensable building block that is also of great importance for tourism marketing."
The city parliament was also informed about the modernization and expansion of the city's siren network. The flood disaster in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate in July 2021 in particular once again made it clear that sirens are indispensable for effectively warning the population, given the current state of technology.
The last time the 35 sirens available in the city area were triggered with the one-minute wailing tone that swells up and down as part of the nationwide warning day in 2020. It was determined that more sirens were needed to warn the population in residential areas across the board. Thanks to a funding program initiated by the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK), it is now possible to close the existing gaps in the short term and implement a technical renewal of the siren network.
The committee was informed about the use of small electric vehicles (especially e-scooters) in the city as part of a communication document. A further communication document dealt with the repatriation of Mexican objects from the depot of the Salder Castle Municipal Museum.
The committee approved the waiver of special usage fees for restaurants in 2022. The coronavirus pandemic and the related restrictive measures are still having a drastic impact on business operations.
An agreement to pave the connecting path between Windmühlenbergstrasse and the Salzgitter/Liebenburg golf club was also approved. In addition, a two-barrier system is to prevent through traffic. An agreement is also to be concluded with the riding club for hay deliveries on two days of the week.
In front of the town hall in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt and the small town hall in Salzgitter-Bad, a document collection station will be set up to issue ID cards and other documents. This was also decided by the city parliament.
The administration was also commissioned to draw up a simple rent index for the city of Salzgitter together with the local interest groups and housing associations and to adjust it every six years.
The meeting concluded with motions and questions from the parliamentary groups. The current and detailed agenda can be viewed in the citizen information system at salzgitter.de.
