  • Auslandsbrief 2017
    Der Oberbürgermeister Neckarsulm im Dezember 2017 Liebe Neckarsulmerinnen und Neckarsulmer im Ausland, als Oberbürgermeister wende ich mich zum zweiten Mal mit einem farbig illustrierten Brief an Sie, die ehemaligen Bürgerinnen und Bürger der Stadt Neckarsulm in aller Welt, um Sie über die wichtigsten Ereignisse des zu Ende gehenden Jahres 2017 zu informieren. Rechnet man die bis 2014 erschienene „Zeitung für Neckarsulmer im Ausand“ hinzu, handelt es sich um den 47. Weihnachtsgruß aus Ihrer früheren Heimatstadt. Wie Sie wissen, haben wir die Auslandszeitung aus Kostengründen durch diesen Auslandsbrief ersetzt, weil die finanzwirtschaftliche Entwicklung die Stadt zu Einsparungen in allen Bereichen, vor allem aber bei den Freiwilligkeitsleistungen zwang. Leider muss ich Ihnen mitteilen, dass die Situation nicht besser geworden ist – im Gegenteil: In diesem Jahr musste die Stadt gleich zweimal einen Gewerbesteuerausfall verkraften. Statt der ursprünglich im Haushaltsplan veranschlagten 61 Millionen Euro werden wir zum Jahresende nur noch 21 Millionen Euro an Gewerbesteuer einnehmen. Noch können wir die Mindereinnahmen über die Rücklage ausgleichen. Aber weniger Gewerbesteuereinnahmen und ein sinkender Rücklagenbestand bedeuten, dass sich unser Handlungsspielraum für künftige Investitionen deutlich verringert. Angesichts dieser Entwicklung hat die Stadt den eingeschlagenen Stabilitätskurs auch im Jahr 2017 fortgesetzt. Der Gemeinderat hat weitere Sparmaßnahmen beschlossen. Wir müssen mehr denn je alle Ausgaben überprüfen, Prioritäten setzen und uns auf das Notwendige konzentrieren. In den Folgejahren rechnen wir zwar damit, dass sich die Gewerbesteuereinnahmen wieder stabilisieren, allerdings auf einem deutlich niedrigeren Niveau. Hier spielt auch der Wegzug von Lidl Deutschland eine Rolle, von dem ich Ihnen bereits in meinem letzten Weihnachtsbrief berichtet habe. Die Verlagerung dieses Firmensitzes wird von 2019 an zu niedrigeren Gewerbesteuereinnahmen führen.
