THE PROBLEM Economic constraints
Total Operating Costs: 267.231.288 €
- of which 43,4% Payroll
- of which 1,9% Mayor & Councillors
Total Income: 256.255.853 € ( of which 20% subsidy)
Total annual Interest to pay: 11.726.300 € (480 M€ total debt)
Need for more cooperation between Municipalities
No complete financing and administrative autonomy
Need for more process monitoring and control
No quality goals assignment
No common HR approach
Processes to optimize: Waste collection, Road Maintenance, Building
Permits, Hygiene, Traffic warden
Processes to improve: Green area, Parking Mgmt., HR
Processes to change: Waste Mgmt., Road Lighting
