CORIGLIANO-ROSSANO, 4 June 2024 – The 2023 Management Report was approved in the city council, with 17 votes in favor and 3 against.
Present at today’s council meeting were the mayor, the entire municipal council, the majority councilors and part of the minority. In total, twenty out of twenty-five councilors were present. The session was divided into two main points: the approval of the economic and financial plan and the rates for the year 2024 of the Waste Tax and the approval of the 2023 management report.
The first point concerned the approval of the PEF (Economic Financial Plan) and the determination of the TARI tariffs for the year 2024, approved with 16 votes in favor and 4 abstentions. Like every year, the municipal council is called to approve the determinations of the efficient costs envisaged in the Arera authority method to be included in the Economic and Financial Plan in order to determine the tax rates relating to domestic users and non-domestic users, calculated by applying the MTR method pursuant to ARERA resolution no. 363/2021. The TARI tariffs are in fact determined by resolution of the Municipal Council on the basis of the costs identified and classified in the PEF, which is prepared by the service manager and approved by the Municipal Council itself, so that full coverage of the costs themselves is ensured. The proposed resolution is accompanied by the favorable technical opinions of the municipal managers as well as the validation report by the auditors. The proposal was approved with sixteen votes in favor and four abstentions in today’s city council meeting.
The 2023 management report closes with an administrative result of 102,063,580.77 euros and net of restricted, set aside and allocated funds with an available portion of 28,591,120.08 euros which constitutes an improved result of 20,450, 68 euros compared to the expected result of 28,611,570.76 euros deriving from the deficit recorded in the 2022 administrative result equal to 30,837,399.09 euros reduced as follows:
– of the recovery share of the deficit deriving from the Extraordinary Reassessment of the Residuals as of 1.1.2015 whose settlement had been approved separately by the council bodies of the two extinct municipalities of Corigliano Calabro and Rossano for an annual amount equal to 1,327,507.89 euros
– the share of the recovery of the deficit resulting from the full reconstitution of the FAL in the 2020 statement equal to the principal share of the various liquidity advances of 869,730.39 euros returned during 2022 as required by the art. 39-ter of Law 28.2.2020, n. 8.
– the further recovery quota of 28,590.35 euros of the deficit of 285,903.49 euros deriving from the “Extraordinary re-assessment of the residues at 31 December 2021 from the scrapping of roles (DM 14 July 2021)” carried out with City Council Resolution no. 143 of 05/06/2021 for which, as established by current legislation, recovery is expected in ten years.
This report therefore closes the first five-year mandate of the City of Corigliano-Rossano. A further element worth mentioning is the provision of provisions for approximately 126 million euros, which guarantee, as in the case of the FCDE (Doubtful Debt Credit Fund) set aside for 98 million euros, the maintenance of the organisation’s balance in the face of difficulties to collect tax and property debts, and will be used by the municipal administration to resolve existing disputes, after having recognized debts of over 120 million euros in recent years and being able to cover other potential liabilities if necessary.
The management of the 2023 financial year presented similar characteristics to that of the previous financial year, influenced, albeit to a lesser extent, by exceptional events, in particular the energy crisis, which had heavily weighed on the 2022 financial year, the effects of which also had repercussions in the 2023 financial year.
The Municipality’s financial service also carried out a timely survey of the active and passive residuals. Through this painstaking work started with the merger and the birth of the new body, it was possible to preserve the budget from future risks linked to the hypothesis of non-collection, while at the same time freeing up resources to be used in the current part of spending.
