Lawmakers of Lviv City Council have declared operation of Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy unsatisfactory after his report on the operation of the executive bodies of the city council for 2011.
A total of 63 lawmakers supported the decision.
After the Sadovy’s report and its long discussion, the lawmakers took a 10-minute break to decide on the report. When the session was resumed, Head of the Svoboda All-Ukrainian Association faction in Lviv City Council, Ruslan Koshulinsky, announced a declaration, which explained the decision of the lawmakers.
“Operation of the executive bodies of Lviv City Council in 2011 is an example of non-fulfillment of tasks set by the city community and an example of failures in strategic local self-government,” reads the document.
The lawmakers believe that the introduction of a new transport scheme in the city, which was accompanied by many infringements of Ukrainian law, was a failure. They also blamed Sadovy of failing to settle the problem with the city landfill and inactivity in the historic memorial protection area.
In addition, the lawmakers expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the executive power bodies did not manage to cope with a problem of stink from the sewage system and with the city’s debt, being UAH 1 billion. The budget for 2011 was not fulfilled.
