Last Wednesday, the most recent meeting of the municipal council took place. This was discussed and decided in the public session.
TOP 1: Announcement of decisions taken in closed session
This point was omitted due to the lack of guests present.
Item 2: Drainage management - Decision adopted unanimously
The municipal council unanimously approved the planned relocation of a drainage line. The drainage is to run parallel to Dr. Domarus Street. In the discussion, Roswitha posed the question of whether the drainage corrects the cause of the moisture and is effective, especially since the terrain was rather dry before the sewer works.
The mayor explained that water is now regularly collected at this point. The aim is not to lower the groundwater as a whole, but only to discharge superficial congestion specifically through drainage with drains.
A member of the CDU Council supported the measure, as did Manuel, who considered the course of the planned drainage to be useful on the basis of the topography. In the absence of expertise and further information in the Council's proposal, only the planning approach of the experts can be trusted.
The local mayor added that there was a problem with the previous drainage – for example, the water from the upper field is currently flowing directly into the rain retention basin.
TOP 3: Amendment of the Cemetery Statute – unanimously adopted
The Council unanimously adopted a revised cemetery statute. What is new, in particular, is that the costs for the preparation of the grave have now been officially recorded.
Roswitha asked whether §15(1) was deleted – that is not the case. Instead, the name ‘Urnenrasengrab’ has been clarified: It is now called ‘Urnenrasenreihegrab’.
Stainless steel signs are created by a local supplier.
Stefan asked if the municipality also offers funeral services. The mayor made it clear: The municipality only provides the burial places – the entrustment of a burial place is carried out by the relatives.
A CDU council member inquired about a possible reappointment of a undertaker by the municipality. The local mayor informed that a call for tenders is planned. In this respect, Alessa clarified that only contracts for excavation (for excavation between municipalities and the contractor) are made. There is no village-own undertaker, as everyone can choose the undertaker freely.
TOP 4: Communications and enquiries
- Walk to the hospital: The mayor announced to gravel the footpath from the former fairground in the direction of Peter-Dausenau-Straße / Brückenstraße.
- Park area: Once again, the mayor expressed his desire to plan a small park in this area. This would also be in line with the development plan.
- Parking regulations Kirchstraße: The municipality plans to apply for a three-hour parking scheme.
- Care of the footpaths: A member of the CDU council suggested cutting back the vegetation on two heavily overgrown footpaths. The mayor stressed that he would examine the responsibility for this.
- Parking behaviour: There was a general discussion about the parking behavior in the place, especially in confusing or dangerous places.
- Burgweg: The Department of Public Order regularly monitors the area. However, the number of administrative offences imposed is in the low range. Due to the marking work carried out, it is possible to work here in a more targeted and legally secure manner.
- Citizen's breakfast: Alessa reminded that the construction was to be organized. Some members of the council agreed to take action.
