Public decision list city council meeting Dec. 23, 2021

Regulation Committee on Objections

The City Council decides to adopt the Objections Committee Ordinance 2022.
The 1999 Regulation on Handling Objections and Appeals was in need of updating. Some substantive changes have been made to the ordinance and the language has also been changed so that the provisions are clearer, shorter and more readable.

Control Protocol and Standards Framework 2021

1. The council adopts the 2021 audit protocol including standards framework. The audit protocol provides guidance to the auditor on the scope of the audit. The standards framework provides an overview of regulations with financial implications for the municipality.
2. The council decides not to allow Crowe Foederer BV to attach any (financial) consequences to the college's failure to comply with its own applicable procurement guidelines and that the auditor need not take this into account when forming an opinion in the context of lawfulness. Crowe Foederer BV is conducting the audit for the 2021 financial year

Fees ordinance 2022 with fee table

Heat Transition Vision

The council decides:

  1. Adopt the Heat Transition Vision (TVW) containing the heat vision and direction to 2030 with a look ahead to 2050;
  2. Establish the ambition for our municipality to reduce natural gas as much as 1,420 homes use by 2030;
  3. launch two pilots in 2022-2023 to create a neighborhood implementation plan with the neighborhoods 't Zand and 't Harde Ven. We will also start work in these neighborhoods before 2030. Before 2030 we will also start a neighborhood implementation plan for (part of) De Gentiaan;
  4. to develop a separate heat approach for Ekkersrijt, with the important pillar of sustainable heat as a precondition to be included in all future developments at Ekkersrijt;
  5. Make €50,000 available from the Sustainability Reserve for implementation in 2022 and adopt the 2nd Budget Amendment 2022 for this purpose. To supplement this with the climate agreement implementation funds from the December Circular via the 1st Administrative Report 2022.

The Climate Accord agreed that municipalities are the directors of the heat transition in the built environment. Together with housing corporations, residents, grid managers, property owners, other stakeholders and co-governments, each municipality must create a vision.
