Deputies of Odesa City Council decided to convene a session in July

Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov has ordered to convene a regular session of the city council on July 2.

The relevant order was published by the municipality' s press service.

Traditionally, Intent has planned to broadcast the meeting online. However, the stage of preparation for the meeting is just beginning, so the agenda looks like a list of blocks into which draft decisions will be grouped.

The blocks are as follows:

• On the activities of the Odesa City Council and its executive bodies.
• Budget and finance.
• Targeted programs, concepts, and urban planning.
• On communal property.
• On taxes and fees.
• On land relations.
• On the establishment, termination, change of name, approval of charters (regulations) of municipal enterprises, institutions, establishments and their activities.
• On deputy inquiries.

One of the stages of preparation is meetings of permanent deputy commissions, which Intent also monitors. This is one of the most important stages of preparation for the session, as at these meetings, the deputies discuss draft decisions and recommend or not recommend them for voting in the session hall.

According to Article 15 of the Law of Ukraine "On Access to Public Information," draft legal acts and decisions of local self-government bodies developed by the relevant administrators are made public no later than 10 working days before the date of their consideration for adoption.

On May 13, an extraordinary session was held that lasted about an hour.

Meanwhile, the head of the Odesa Regional Council, Hryhoriy Didenko, ordered the deputies to convene a meeting of the twenty-seventh session of the regional council, which will be only the second this year. This meeting will be held on June 6. The regional council traditionally meets less frequently in Odesa than the city council, on average once every three months. Sometimes it holds extraordinary sessions.
