| The remunicipalisation of the service entails different advantages both in transparency, as in economic profitability, capacity to adapt and respond to the needs of citizens and improvement in optimization and quality | The municipal Plenary has initially approved, with the votes in favor of the Popular Municipal Group and VOX, the abstention of Citizens and the vote against the Socialist Municipal Group and Podemos, the change in the form of selection of the regulated parking service in surface of urban public roads by direct management through the company Urbanizadora Municipal SA (Urbamusa).Thanks to this agreement, the job stability of the current workforce is guaranteed, which affects more than fifty families, and progress is made in the new mobility model in which this form of service management is essential.The objective of the remunicipalisation of the ORA, which is supported by favorable reports from Intervention and Legal Services, is for the City Council to be the one that directly provides the regulated surface parking service, thus obtaining total real control, in which decisions that are adopted are always aimed at optimizing the service offered to the citizen.The remunicipalisation of the service entails different advantages both in terms of transparency and economic profitability, the capacity to adapt and respond to the needs of citizens and improve optimization and quality.In this way, transparency is gained, since from the beginning of the service, recurring weekly and monthly reports of the status of the service are being generated, as well as the corresponding settlements, in which all expenses are provided with their corresponding invoices and all income obtained , there is real-time access to economic and technical data by municipal supervisorsThanks to this management model, economic profitability improves: the ORA service from its municipalization on October 17 until the end of 2019, that is, in two and a half months, has yielded and contributed to the City Council a benefit of 123,168 , 08 euros.
This figure is an amount very close to what the previous concessionaire paid the City Council for the whole year, which was 145,419.66 euros.
This has been achieved by maintaining the same income, since both the rates and the regulated areas or places are the same, with the same personnel costs and with higher spending on technology.In addition, the ability to adapt and respond to the needs of citizens and the City Council is gained, since any change or adaptation that must be made is done immediately.This decision affects familiesMinutes before the vote, Mayor Ballesta defended the importance of institutions "because they are the reflection of the people and our most powerful instrument as a society.
If these 50 years of democracy have taught us anything, it is that institutions are important and matter."Ballesta added that "this cannot become a madman who guides a group of blind people.
The ethics of convictions is important as is responsibility, because decisions have consequences."This decision approved in plenary "affects people, families, who live moments of anxiety, of uncertainty.
Human beings need certainties, handholds of truth to hold on to in order to look to the future," concluded the Mayor
