8. Setting a fixed amount for planning fees for small-scale construction projects

On May 27, 2025, the municipal executive adopted the Cost Recovery and Financial Contributions Program. The program describes the procedure by which the municipality recovers its costs in connection with, among other things, housing development plans. Planning costs are included among the recoverable costs. Planning costs are expenses incurred by the municipality to develop a plan, including various studies and the necessary procedures.
For each product and activity, the municipality determines who will carry out the activity. The initiator reimburses the municipality for the portion carried out by the municipality. For small-scale construction activities (1 dwelling), the municipal executive applies a fixed amount. For housing initiatives involving 2, 3, or 4 dwellings, the municipal executive also sets fixed amounts.

The municipal executive decides:

Effective June 1, 2026, to establish the fee for planning costs for small-scale construction projects (1, 2, 3, and 4 dwellings);
effective January 1, 2027, and thereafter to index the rate for one dwelling annually in accordance with Article 13.5 of the Environmental Regulation;
effective January 1, 2027, and thereafter to index the rates for 2, 3, and 4 dwellings annually in accordance with the hourly rates set forth in the most current version of the Calculation Model for Planning Costs under the Environmental Regulation.

9. Renewal of the school transportation contract

School transportation is an essential service for students who, due to factors such as a physical disability, distance from school, or religious beliefs, are eligible for assistance with transportation to and from school. Currently, transportation services are being provided satisfactorily by the Juijn transportation company. The existing contract is nearing its end, making timely decision-making necessary to ensure the continuity and quality of transportation.

The Municipal Executive has decided to extend the Student Transportation Agreement for 2021–2022 and subsequent years by two years on a one-time basis.
