Odesa City Council faces fine over school land

The Odesa City Council was fined for inaction, according to the court, in resolving the issue of a plot of land near gymnasium No. 7 on Mariupolska Street.

This became known during a meeting of the permanent deputy commission on spatial development, land management and regulation of land rights.

In particular, the court recognized as inaction the fact that the city council refuses to make a decision on either a permit for land allocation or a reasoned refusal to grant this permit. The deputies pointed out that at the last session of the city council, the issue of granting the permit was considered and the deputies did not support the draft decision. However, the State Enforcement Service did not consider this vote as the execution of a court decision, and the city council was fined.

The dispute over this land has been going on since 2001. The principal of the gymnasium has repeatedly insisted that the citizen decided to seize the land when he was a cola. The situation is complicated by the fact that the school site has not been formed and is scheduled to be formed in 2026. In the end, the commission members decided to invite representatives of the state executive service to the next meeting to explain why the deputies' decision on this issue was not taken into account at the last session.

It was also decided to invite the person who demands to have the land allocated to him in order to try to reach a compromise on this issue.

Intent continues to monitor the process of preparing Odesa City Council for the next plenary session. One of the important stages of preparation is the meeting of the permanent deputy commissions, where the deputies discuss draft decisions and recommend or not recommend them for voting in the session hall.

A total of 12 commissions have been established, but the Commission on Culture, Tourism and International Relations and the Commission on Rules of Procedure, Deputy Ethics and Prevention of Corruption cannot make decisions because they do not have enough MPs (2 and 1, respectively).
