ChristenUnie and Lijst Groen Noordenveld (LGN) instruct the Noordenveld college to come up with a plan as soon as possible to implement a better personnel policy. The immediate reason is the outsourcing of tax collection to an external party. A motion that both parties wanted to submit was first put on hold.
Last week it appeared in the council that the Northern Tax Office is currently held responsible for collecting the taxes in the municipality. The council is certainly not enthusiastic about this, but currently sees no other solution.
ChristenUnie and LGN now ask the council to quickly come up with a vision, in consultation with the council and the staff. This must state how the municipality will organize the collection of taxes in the future, if it turns out that there is no room for it within its own organization.
Nelly Nieuwenhuizen (LGN) wants Noordenveld to ‘no longer make ad hoc decisions’. “As we did before by outsourcing tax collection.”
The content of the motion comes largely from the dissolved Noordenveld Works Council. The body has previously criticized the external outsourcing of matters such as tax collection. The entire Works Council resigned earlier this year, because there are major staff shortages within Noordenveld. The municipality hopes to present a new Works Council before the summer.
Both parties initially postponed the motion, since Mayor Klaas Smid indicated that he would soon return to the council in the presidium about the state of affairs.
