50 MUNICIPALITY for some projects public authority regulations combine with the voluntary ones, especially in the case of public-private partnerships. III.3. GENERAL OBJECTIVES • Industrial Development • Agriculture and Rural Development • Infrastructure • Services • Human Resources III.4. MEASURES FOR STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY The implementation of the local public administration reform is an objective of maximum importance in Romania’s process of accession to the EU. Achieving this objective triggers the strengthening of the institutional capacity of Medgidia City Hall, both at the decision-making level as well as the execution level, attracting enough financial resources for investment, improving the management system of human resources, and their qualification and specialisation levels. Among the priorities of the municipality of Medgidia are: - dynamic and efficient management of problems of general concern, - reforming the local public administration system, - reorganisation activities carried out by its own structure, departments and public services, - providing efficient and high quality services, - providing the necessary IT support for efficient communication of information to citizens, - establishing a permanent dialog with citizens, - attracting the community at large to solving the city’s problems through the organisation of public debates. At the city level these priorities were implemented in: • Information Centre for Citizens – established in 2005, it provides information to citizens, registers their solicitations, delivers the requested documents, receives and sends correspondence, distributes and follows the movement of documents within City Hall. By establishing this centre, City Hall activities became more efficient, citizens save time and receive answers in once centralized location. There are proposals to establish branches of this Centre in other districts in Medgidia and in the surrounding villages. • “InfoPrimaria” Information Bulletin – issued bi-monthly and is distributed free of charge to the citizens of Medgidia through the Citizens’ Information Centre, Press dissemination Centres, Post offices, and directly in the street by volunteers. • Notice Boards are used based on the idea “Medgidia City Hall closer to citizens” and post the most recent information about the administration’s activities. These are located in the most populated areas of the city. • Website – is a tool aimed at informing citizens of Medgidia and others, about the city and the local administrative activities. • Public Debates – Medgidia City Hall organised in 2005 five public debates focussed on the following subjects: The Social-Economic Development Strategy, The Energetic Strategy, The establishment of the Industrial Park, Local Agenda 21. Each of these events was attended by approximately 180 persons from all social and age groups. • Children’s Council – active Medgidia since 2003, it represents a good example for adults. The children have initiatives and actively participate in community activities and social events. • Meetings – representatives of the administration regularly meet the representatives of owners associations, public institution, business community, religious cults, education staff, disadvantaged persons, and of the Rroma community. • Audiences – the Mayor and Vice mayor have a weekly programme of receiving citizens in audiences. The community involvement and participation in solving community problems is necessary in a democratic system and, through the combination of the three elements: information – communication – involvement, it represents the ideal solution for the harmonisation of the relations between the local administration an citizens. The strengthening of the institutional capacity is a lasting process, in which the local administration has to be active in order to change the public servants’ attitude towards the citizens for a better image of the administration in the community.
51 MEDGIDIA The existing legal and institutional framework has secured the following: - the city’s development; - the necessary financial resources for the local communities; - the determination of the public and private domains of the local communities and their administration; - the decentralization and the control at the level of legal conformation; - the urban organisation and development and territorial planning; - the coordination of public services subordinated to the Local Council; - the increase of local administration efficiency; - the appropriate development of the educational, social assistance, cultural, sporting and leisure, and public order activities; - the increase in transparency towards the citizens and establishment of a partnership relationship with them and the civil society. III.5. FINANCIAL PROJECTION The local budget reflects the socio-economic evolution of the municipality of Medgidia, which is in accordance with the general development framework of the Romanian society. Year by year, the budget design is trying to balance the community’s needs and the possibility to fulfil them, taking into account the existing resources at local level. Following the structure of the expenses budget, the intention of the local authority to first address the social, education, public utilities, environmental protection, health, dwellings problems is obvious.
