  • Zukunft Zulgtal
    Zukunft Zulgtal Aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus dem Fusions-Abklärungsprojekt Geschätzte Bürgerinnen und Bürger der Gemeinden im linken und rechten Zulgtal. Mit regelmässigen Beiträgen in der Zulgpost zum Projekt „Zukunft Zulgtal“ informieren wir sie über den aktuellen Stand der Abklärungen. Seit der letzten Information im Oktober hat es interessante Zwischenergebnisse gegeben, die wir Ihnen nicht vorenthalten möchten. Heinz Berger Projektleiter Unsere 10 Gemeinden im Zulgtal haben gemeinsam das Projekt Zukunft Zulgtal gestartet und einen Vertrag abgeschlossen mit dem Zweck: Die Einwohnergemeinden Buchholterberg, Eriz, Fahrni, Homberg, Horrenbach-Buchen, Oberlangenegg, Schwendibach, Teuffenthal, Unterlangenegg und Wachseldorn vereinbaren, auf der Grundlage der Studie der Universität Bern die Vor- und Nachteile einer Fusion sowie den Abschluss eines Fusionsvertrags vertieft zu prüfen. Die Erfahrungen aus Fusionsabklärungen werden vom Kanton systematisch gesammelt und ausgewertet, um daraus Erkenntnisse für weitere Projekte zu gewinnen. Mit Beschluss vom 12. November 2008 hat der Regierungsrat den Restbeitrag von Fr. 59‘900.-- an die Kosten der Abklärungen gesprochen, nebst dem bereits ausbezahlten Beitrag von Fr. 40‘100.--. Der Projektausschuss nahm an seiner Sitzung vom 3.2.2009 Kenntnis vom Stand der Vermessungswerke der Gemeinden, von den Auswirkungen auf den Finanzausgleich bei einer allfälligen Fusion in Varianten und diskutierte die Erhebungen in den Gemeinden zu Strassennetz, Hochbauten, Wasserversorgung, Abwasserentsorgung, Reglementen, Verträgen etc. Von April bis Juni sind Gespräche mit Gemeindevertretern vorgesehen zu den Themen Liegenschaften, Ver- und Entsorgung, Verwaltung, Sozialdienst, Spitex, Schiessanlagen, Tourismus und öffentlicher Verkehr, Kirchgemeinden, Gewässer, Feuerwehr, Strassenunterhalt und Schule. Die ortsansässigen Vereine werden in die Abklärungen einbezogen. Ein Informationsabend für die Gemeinderäte findet im August statt, der Grundlagebericht soll vom Oktober bis Dezember 2009 in einer Vernehmlassung vorgestellt werden.
