a ray of hope for the finances of the city of Starnberg

The Starnberg city treasury was able to recreate a slight recovery last year, although some planned projects were not implemented. The city's financial Situation has improved, which is primarily due to not realized projects.

The outgoing treasurer Thomas Deller presented the annual balance in the last plenary meeting, which showed that the urban reserves (originally planned: 4.3 million euros) did not have to be touched. The planned admission of a loan of 1.7 million euros was also not necessary. This led the city to increase its reserves by a further 1.8 million euros, which led to a total amount of 11.1 million euros on December 31, 2023

The reduction in debt from 13.3 million to 12.4 million euros by the end of 2023 led to a per capita debt of 523 euros, which, according to Deller, is below the average of comparable municipalities in Bavaria (633 euros). The positive development was mainly achieved by the non -realization of many for projects planned in 2023.

Despite the encouraging trend, the Group spokesman for the Greens, Franz Sengl, warned against leaving the consolidation course taken. The city's financial situation remains "continued". His metaphor of "The devil jumping off the shovel" was corrected by his colleague Charlotte Barth, which caused a humorous moment.

The city councils will again deal with the topic of "consolidation" in a special meeting on July 8, this time with a focus on the Starnberger See Museum, the city library and the city archive. It is to be hoped that the positive development of the finances of the city of Starnberg will continue in the future.
