We heard that a group of Bolesławiec residents who had leased garages from the city hall on Kubika Street for several decades wanted to buy them more cheaply. (Not on the open market, but through a restricted tender.) The group referred to the case of a senior city hall official, whom the office had allegedly helped in this way.
We asked Agnieszka Gergont, spokesperson for Bolesławiec City Hall, for comment:
The property described on Kubika Street has no brick garages; instead, there are so-called metal garages. The office does not sell the land beneath metal garages. A City Council resolution allows the non-tender sale of a garage that is a building (a brick structure) to a tenant who entered into the lease agreement before the end of 2008.
And what happened in the case of the “senior official”? A. Gergont:
At the rear of Opitza Street, due to the specific nature of the area—it is accessible from only one side and serves as a courtyard for the residents of building no. 20—the plot for the garage was sold in a tender restricted to tenants and apartment owners in the building at Opitza 20. At the time the tender was announced, four families could participate. A married couple paid the deposit and won the garage at auction—the Zielińskis.
Furthermore, as the spokesperson for Bolesławiec City Hall informed us, six metal garages were installed on Kubika Street. Two—occupied without agreements—belonged to residents of the Kubika 3 homeowners’ association. The remaining ones belonged to residents of Rynek, Karola Miarki and... Kosiba Streets.
In the near future, city hall representatives are expected to meet with the residents of the Kubika 3 homeowners’ association.
