This is the procedure for the government executive meeting to study issues. After the matter is raised, each team member expresses his or her own opinion, and finally the top leader makes the final decision.
Therefore, after everyone finished speaking, Mayor Wen began to make a concluding speech on the matter, "Okay, everyone has expressed their opinions, I think this matter will be handled like this. First, create a sanitary city
This work is of great significance and plays an important role in improving the appearance of the entire city and improving the quality of citizens, so we must implement this work as soon as possible. Second, the municipal government has set up a leading group specifically for this work, and I serve as the group
All deputy mayors are deputy team leaders. The heads of the Health Bureau, Urban Construction, Public Security, Environmental Protection and other departments related to this work are team members. A temporary special office has been set up for this work, and Mayor Yin serves concurrently.
The director of this office, Director Sun of the Health Bureau, is the deputy director and will be contacted from there. Thirdly, after the meeting, Director Sun is expected to draw up a detailed outline of the specific work that each department needs to do, and finally the city government will issue it in the form of a red-headed document.
Go to the following departments. At the same time, the deputy mayors should convene a special meeting as soon as possible to arrange and implement this work. Fourth, the municipal government’s inspection office is requested to regularly follow up and inspect the work progress of each department, and conduct regular inspections on the work progress of each department.
Departments that do not perform well will be notified and criticized at any time, and included in one of the important indicators of the year-end assessment. Fifth, Mayor Feng is asked to arrange a part of the funds as special funds for this work, with a total amount of no more than two million, mainly used in necessary cities.
Hardware facility renovation. Sixth, we will report this work to the Municipal Party Committee and hope to receive strong support from the Municipal Party Committee. Okay, let’s move on to the next topic.”
I didn't expect that he was so obedient and immediately gave clear and detailed instructions on this work. I felt very fond of him.
The second topic is the construction committee’s application report for increasing investment in Shangjiang Convention Center. The director of the construction committee introduced the specific situation——
After the municipal party committee and government made the decision to build the conference center last year, they have invested 20 million yuan to complete the main project. However, due to problems with the original site selection, it was found that the soil on the land was loose, so the budget for the foundation part was seriously exceeded.
In addition, several million yuan was spent on slope control, so there was a huge gap in the budget of the project. Currently, an additional 20 million yuan is needed for decoration and equipment purchase.
I asked the deputy mayor next to me in a low voice, "What is this conference center for?"
He answered me: "It's the city's Great Hall. In the past, we used the school's auditorium to hold the two sessions. The annual two sessions had a serious impact on the normal teaching order of the school, and also affected the municipal party committee and the municipal government.
image, so the previous team decided to invest in building such a conference center. Because the amount of demolition in the city was too large, the place was chosen at the foot of the mountain outside the city. It is said that Feng Shui factors were also considered at that time. At that time, the entire
The budget of the project is 30 million, but now it seems that even 40 million won’t be enough. I don’t know the other specific circumstances.”
I was very surprised, "If 40 million is not enough, then why does the director of the Construction Committee only propose an increase of 20 million?"
He answered me: "This is how it is now. Once you get the money, you will continue the project. When the money is not enough, you will need it again. Anyway, the project has been built to that extent. The government is already in trouble. What if it doesn't continue to invest?"
"
I suddenly understood: This was actually a department below that kidnapped the government.
At this moment, I really wanted to know which deputy mayor was in charge of this project. If it was from the construction committee, it should be Mayor Jiang. I suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.
However, things like this are very sensitive. As a member of a team, there are some things that you cannot ask casually. This is a taboo in officialdom.
Sure enough, it was Mayor Jiang, because after the director of the construction committee finished speaking, he began to make additional remarks, "Now the theme project of this project is about to be capped, the bidding for the decoration project has been completed, and now it is a matter of money. We hope to be able to complete the project as soon as possible."
Once this project is completed, next year's Two Sessions can be held in our own conference center. This is a major event in the political life of Shangjiang City, so I hope that funds can be allocated as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed.
Because after the decoration is completed, ventilation will be needed for a period of time, otherwise the smell inside will be very strong in the future, and the representatives will have opinions when the two sessions are held."
I immediately thought in my heart: What did he mean by this? Is it to pave the way for the use of inferior materials in the future? But then I blamed myself: Why do you think of others so darkly?
Mayor Wen came to me and asked: "Mayor Feng, you are in charge of money. Tell me, what should I do about this matter?"
I replied: "Currently our finances are very difficult, and we are asking for money everywhere. Not long ago, I went to the Finance Bureau to check our fiscal expenditures. At present, this money is definitely not available. Everyone knows that our
Finance is salary finance. The money allocated to us from above can only be used for salary payment. Although there are still more than 100 million in funds on the books, those are bank loans for several important projects such as building bridges, and those key points
The project needs to be paid for soon, and those projects are still key projects in the province. If the funds are to be misappropriated, I dare not make the decision. Mayor Wen, please study this matter. As long as you make the decision, I will obey it.
that is."
He nodded, and then asked the other deputy mayors, "What are your opinions? Everyone has to speak on this matter. Now the higher-ups are advocating collective decision-making. This matter is of great importance, so I can only listen to everyone's opinions."
A deputy mayor said: "I expressed different opinions when this matter was first decided. Since we did not have the financial resources to do this, we should not have launched it in a hurry. But now those things are no longer
It makes sense, now that the main project has been completed, if we don’t continue to allocate funds, the losses will be greater. Therefore, we must find a way to solve the funding problem."
Several other deputy mayors said the same thing.
In fact, this matter can only be like this, but these people are very slippery, because they did not say where the money should come from, let alone how to find a solution to the problem. In the end, everyone is just kicking the ball.
Mayor Wen looked at me sideways and said, "This project must be completed, but in the final analysis it is still a matter of money. Mayor Feng, you are in charge of finance, please think of a way."
I suddenly felt that something was wrong with this matter - why did you put all the problems on me? The city government's finances are not my own money, not to mention that our current account is basically the bank except for the salary part.
I got a loan. I said: "There is still a amount of money that can be used in our financial account, which is the local tax part. In addition, there are more than 10 million administrative fees. But if 20 million is allocated from this money,
, it will be very difficult for the four major families and the various departments below to operate. I still say the same thing, this matter has to be decided by the mayor, and I will implement it."
What I said is actually an irresponsible attitude, and it is also a kick in the pants. But I can only do this, because 20 million is not a small amount, and it can only occupy other funds, so I have no power to decide such a matter. But I
I was thinking about another question: How would I handle this if I were Mayor Wen?
I don’t know, because I am not him now, so I am too lazy to think about such a problem. In fact, this is ultimately due to the financial difficulties of this city. If the real estate development in this area develops, like this
The project is not a problem at all. In addition to the huge increase in taxes, the funds obtained from the land transfer will also be very generous. A project like this can be packaged to a developer and use part of the land transfer fee to offset the payment, or
There are other ways. In fact, this could have been done when the matter was being decided, because the Municipal Government Conference Center is a landmark building, and the value of the land around it will inevitably rise quickly. I don’t know why the government decided to use it at that time.
The method of direct investment, but I still feel that there seems to be a problem in this matter, and it must be an issue of the interests of some people, otherwise things like this continuous increase in investment should not happen. (To be continued)
