The Vrsar Municipal Council adopted the first amendments and supplements to the budget for this year at its 10th session, raising the total framework from €9,271,760 to €9,738,025, an increase of €466,265.
The rebalancing, presented to councillors by Ines Šepić, head of the Finance Department, accounts for slightly lower revenues: these have been reduced from €6,635,860 to €6,448,340, while expenditures rise to €9,726,295. The difference is covered by a surplus carried over from previous years, which amounts to €3,289,685 after adjustment.
The largest additional amount, €128,765, is directed towards maintaining communal infrastructure, a programme now totalling nearly €2.18 million. Funds are earmarked for repairing a wall near the school, removing silos, traffic regulation equipment, and maintaining public areas. An additional €126,000 has been secured for the construction of communal facilities and devices, bringing this part of the programme to €874,325.
Alongside the rebalancing, councillors also amended programmes for the construction and maintenance of communal infrastructure and adopted a new decision on traffic organisation, a plan for managing municipal real estate, and decisions on writing off receivables, cemeteries, and the abolition of public good status.
During the section of the session reserved for councillor questions, Serđo Popović highlighted the long-standing lack of parking spaces near the Gradina cemetery. In response, Head of Administration Tina Slamar stated that the development of a car park is planned. Popović also requested that the Istria County be consulted to determine whether concessionaires must remove sun loungers from the beach below Belvedere after working hours, warning that they remain by the coast day and night.
Councillor Ivan Gerometta received a written response regarding the purchase of two official vehicles for the municipal communal enterprise Montraker, valued at €53,748 excluding VAT. The decision to purchase, according to the statement, was made by the company's Supervisory Board.
