The committee issued 453 opinions and submitted one motion. In accordance with its area of interest and scope of work, during the current term the committee dealt with reviewing, examining and monitoring comprehensive methods and prospects for the Municipality of Bolesławiec’s influence on the pace of changes in the city’s sustainable development. Acting within the remit defined by Resolution No. III/8/10 of the Bolesławiec City Council of 8 December 2010 on establishing the City Council’s standing committees, the committee welcomed the fact that the Municipality of Bolesławiec possessed instruments used to shape local economic policy, including the Municipal Development Strategy, containing a programme of local economic, spatial and social policy; the Long-Term Financial Forecast; and the Local Urban Revitalisation Plan. During working meetings, the committee reviewed amendments to planning documents updating the current needs of the local economic market, as well as the allocation of resources in the spatial, economic and social spheres. The strategic objectives focus on promoting investment, including in the Special Economic Zone; establishing new companies; promoting staff education and training; and, importantly, shaping municipal space. The committee welcomed draft resolutions introducing positive changes to the Municipal Spatial Development Plan, organising
and creating opportunities for companies to develop their business activities. The committee positively assessed the Municipality of Bolesławiec’s pro-business activities in the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone, which is currently a workplace for many city residents and offers the possibility of increasing employment in the future. With regard to instruments for shaping local economic policy, such as local taxes and charges, financial policy, and management of municipal property and commercial premises, the Municipality sets taxes at realistic levels comparable to those of municipalities in the region, and in some cases lower. Several years of stagnation in the sale and purchase of real estate have led to a downward trend in auction prices. This situation results from current conditions in the real-estate market. When reviewing certain draft resolutions, for example those concerning the Municipality’s own educational tasks, a worrying trend emerged: the government of the Republic of Poland was reducing the education subsidy. This is particularly significant for the Municipality of Bolesławiec, as education-related tasks account for 24% of total city budget expenditure. In 2012, in accordance with its adopted work plan, the committee analysed the city’s strategy in relation to the assumptions of the Regional Operational Programme. Members paid particular attention to a report on municipal waste management, methods of selective waste collection in the municipality and the development prospects of MZGK in light of the new “waste” law. The city’s water and sewage management, carried out by PWiK, and the level of charges for water use and wastewater discharge were assessed positively. The committee welcomed the company’s modernisation policy and the higher standards of services provided in this area. Important information for Bolesławiec residents came from the ZEC president, who reported on the company’s impact on the local market and the prospects for an energy reserve capable of securing the city’s supply for 10–15 years. The committee also considered the prospects for local housing construction carried out by TBS as an alternative way for young people to obtain housing. In 2013, the committee’s most important areas of work, in accordance with its adopted plan, included the use of EU funds in the Municipality of Bolesławiec for developing the city’s economic infrastructure; the condition of municipal waste management in Bolesławiec in light of the new “waste” law and its impact on MZGK, including a SWOT analysis; the use of city-budget funds by the Municipal Police in 2010–2012; and the Municipality’s pro-business policy towards small and medium-sized enterprises, including methods and means of support. The committee devoted most attention to its annual review of the draft budget, its implementation and the report on budget implementation. Members carefully considered periodic reports on the activities of municipal units represented by directors and company presidents, contributing substantive opinions and comments at the committee’s working meetings.
During the ceremonial part of the session, thanks were expressed for the cooperation. The councillors also received commemorative reliefs depicting the town hall.
