Mykolaiv City Council to convene a session at the end of July

On Thursday, July 31, Mykolaiv City Council is scheduled to hold a regular session in the format of a video conference.

The relevant order was posted on the council's website and signed by Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych.

"To convene the regular forty-sixth session of the Mykolaiv City Council of the VIII convocation on July 31, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.," the order says.

Like the previous ones, this session will be held remotely - in the format of a video conference. The live broadcast will be available on the city council's YouTube channel and its official website.

The agenda includes three sets of issues:

• budgetary
• current issues
• land issues.

However, the city authorities do not explain why the session will not be held in person once again. It is worth noting that this format makes it impossible for voters to check the personal voting of deputies for certain decisions.

The last, 45th session of Mykolaiv City Council lasted with numerous breaks. The last plenary meeting was held on July 17, also in the format of a video conference.

In total, the agenda of the 45th session included more than 200 issues, including 177 land issues, 26 current issues and one budget issue. Thus, the deputies supported the liquidation of Mykolaiv Municipal Academic College, an appeal to the Verkhovna Rada regarding changes in the education sector, and increased the authorized capital ofMykolaiv Parks to UAH 100 million.

In addition, the city council approved two comprehensive programs: support for defenders and their families for 2024-2026; and reform and development of housing and communal services for 2025-2029. The latter provides funding in the amount of over UAH 65.9 billion, most of which is from the city's local community. The program covers both the current maintenance of housing and communal services and the elimination of the consequences of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.
