Det gir ikke et fullstendig utfyllende bilde av kommunens virksomhet, men gjelder de felt der Fylkesmannen har oppdrag og dialog mot kommunene. Det er et dokument som peker på utfordringer og handlingsrom. Fylkesmannen er opptatt av at kommunene kan løse sine oppgaver best mulig og ha politisk og administrativt handlingsrom. Det er viktig at kommunene har et best mulig beslutningsgrunnlag for de valg de tar. Blant annet derfor er kommunebilde et viktig dokument. Kommunebilde er inndelt i tre 1. Innledning 2. Planlegging og styring av kommunen 3. Tjenesteyting og velferdsproduksjon Under hvert punkt har vi oppsummert Fylkesmannens vurdering av utfordringspunkter for kommunen. Dette er punkter vi anbefaler kommunen å legge til grunn i videre kommunalplanlegging. Kommunebilde er et godt utgangspunkt for å få et makrobilde av kommunen og bør brukes aktivt i kommunen – ikke minst av de folkevalgte.

Aphyllophorales (Basidiomycetes). Taxonomy, Ecology and Distri­ bution. Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av rektorsämbetet vid Umeå universitet för avläggande av filosofie doktorsexamen framlägges till offentlig granskning vid Avdelningen för ekologisk botanik, Botanik, Fysiologi, Hufo, sem.-rum B, tisdagen den 27 maj 1975, kl. 10. Abstract Wood-inhabiting fungi were collected on different trees in 99 loca-' lities of alder woods, dominated by Alnus incana or occasionally A. glutinosa, in N-C Sweden and C Norway. Most of the localities are situated near the east coast of Sweden where the prevailing land elevation creates conditions suitable for colonization by alder. The remaining localities are mainly found in the inland parts of Sweden and Norway, along streams, in ravines etc. The investigated localities are briefly described as to their general vegetation, and a regional survey of the alder forests is given. The number of collections of Aphyllophorales amounts to approxi­ mately 5,000, comprising 286 species. The following new combinations are proposed: Hypoohnicium polonense (Bres.) Strid, H. pruinosum (Bres.) Strid, Phlebia lindtneri (Pil.) Parm. and Sistotrema hete- roncmum (John Erikss.) Strid. Seven species are collected as new to Scandinavia, viz., Botryobasidium aure urn3 Ceratobasidium stridiit Hyphoderma orphanellum, Hyphodontiella multiseptata, Hypoohnicium pruinosum> Phlebia lindtneri and Tubuliorinis effugiens, and approxi­ mately 85 additional species are reported for the first time from the investigation area. Six specimens of Cortioiaoeae have remained undetermined but are included in the species list.

Ved behov for nyremedisinsk kompetanse konsulteres nyrelegene i Kristiansand eller pasientene overflyttes dit. De nyremedisinske pasientene håndteres poliklinisk av nyremedisinerne i Kristiansand som også besøker dialysen i Flekkefjord 1 gang pr mnd. Generelle indremedisinske læringsmål i del 2 indremedisin dekkes alle tre steder, men de fleste læringsmålene i del 3 nyremedisin må dekkes i Arendal eller Kristiansand. LIS 3 i nyremedisin ved SSHF skal rotere i 6 mnd til Ullevål eller AHUS og 3 mnd til Rikshospitalet for å nå læringsmål i transplantasjonsmedisin. Om avdelingen/seksjonen i SSHF Medisinsk avdeling ligger under somatisk klinikk delt ved tre lokalisasjoner, Flekkefjord, Arendal og Kristiansand.

  • Rv 82 Miljøgate Andenes
    REGULERINGSPLAN FOR RV 82 MILJØGATE ANDENES Merknadsbehandling/Dokumenter til sluttbehandling Statens Vegvesen Region Nord, Midtre Hålogaland distrikt Harstad 16.11.2009 SAMMENDRAG Statens Vegvesen har med hjemmel i Plan og bygningslovens § 9-4 utarbeidet forslag til reguleringsplan for Rv 82, Miljøgate Andenes. Strekningen er deler av Storgata fra flyplasskrysset og til krysset ved Nordlandsbanken. Planarbeidet er gjort etter avtale med og i samråd med Andøy kommune. Hensikten med planarbeidet er å legge til rette for oppstramming av trafikale forhold langs Storgata på denne strekningen, samt bedring av forholdene for de myke trafikkantene med utvidelse og oppgradering av fortau og sikring av fotgjengeroverganger. Lokalisering av busstopp og parkeringslommer inngår også. Total lengde er ca 1 km. Prosjektet inngår som en del av trafikksikkerhetsarbeidet i Andenes sentrum. Arbeidet forutsettes gjort samtidig som kommunen foretar utskifting av sitt vann og avløpsnett som ligger i Storgata. Byggestart er avhengig av fylkeskommunale bevilgninger. Det er tidligere utarbeidet et planhefte som tar for seg saksbehandlingen fram til planen er utlagt til offentlig ettersyn, jf innholdsfortegnelsen 1-2. Etter at planen har vært utlagt til offentlig ettersyn i tiden 26.06 – 15.08.09 er det totalt innkommet 7 merknader til planforslaget med bestemmelser. Statens vegvesen har gjennomgått og kommentert disse. Etter avtale med kommunen ble det arrangert et informasjonsmøte om planen den 1.oktober 2009. Det foreligger i alt 7 innspill etter dette møtet. I tillegg har det vært drøftet med kommunen ulike detaljløsninger i planen. Planen er revidert 01.11.09 og gjennomgått med kommunen i møte 10.11.09. Det er ikke fremmet innsigelse til planen og dette medfører etter Statens vegvesen sitt syn at planen kan egengodkjennes av kommunestyret.
