A committee of the Chisinau municipal Council (CMC) rejected the proposal made by the General Board for Education, Youth and Sports concerning the procurement for the first time in the last years of 400 holiday tickets at “Speranta” recovery center in Sergheevca, Ukraine, for children with health deficiencies from disadvantaged families. At the same time the Budget, Economy, Finance and Local Public Patrimony Committee of the CMC approved the draft resolution on the organization of children recovery and holiday this summer as a whole. The committee suggested to reject the procurement of the 400 tickets, totaling 520 thousand MDL, that have not been initially provided for in the municipal budget for children’s summer holiday. In the same context, the General Finance Board (GFB) has to develop and submit to CMC proposals for granting additional financial means in the amount of around 3.5 million MDL. Valentina Vazdautan, deputy chief of the GFB, specified at committee’s session that for the summer holiday around 17 million MDL would be needed, while the deficit coverage – 3.5 million MDL from the resources accumulated in addition to those planned is uncertain due to the low growth pace of these accumulations to the local budget. The General Education, Youth and Sports Board (GEYSB) explains the financial deficit appeared due to the increase of around 3000, as compared to the previous year, of the number of children who want to spend their holiday in a summer camp. Overall, this year the municipality will ensure the summer holiday for 28 thousand children. According to the GEYSB, municipality pupils will rest in 68 day camps, including 8 camps that will be functioning in the municipality communities. Moreover, during this summer 9 camps will be operating non-stop. According to the source cited by Info-Prim Neo, a holiday ticket in a summer camp will cost 850-900 MDL, 150 MDL more than in the previous year. The draft resolution on children’s summer holiday may be included in the additional agenda of the CMC session to be held on Thursday, May 18.
