April 2026 – Focus on Sports Promotion, Budget Planning, and Greenway Maintenance

Sports Promotion in Focus

• The city of Pirna supports sports clubs with up to 10 euros per member under 18 years of age and 10 euros per disabled athlete over 18 years of age.
• 323 instructors each receive 50 euros – a total of 16,150 euros in grants.

• Greenway maintenance services are awarded to the company Sven Strauß from Heidenau.

Budget Planning and Administrative Fees

The city of Pirna has passed the schedule for the 2027 budget planning in the Dohma municipal council. This establishes the timeline for developing and approving the budget for the coming year.

Additionally, the settlement of the administrative fee for 2025 was unanimously approved. The administrative fee is a central funding mechanism for cooperation between the city and municipalities in the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.

The 2027 budget planning is a crucial step to ensure the funding of projects and services for residents. The schedule helps ensure transparency and planning reliability.

Greenway Maintenance Services

In April, several municipal council chambers and the City Development Committee dealt with the assignment of greenway maintenance services. The company Garten- und Landschaftsbau Sven Strauß e. K. from Heidenau was commissioned for the period 01.05.2026 until 30.04.2028. The total funding amounts to 119,367.06 EUR, with the funds coming from the product areas municipal roads, district roads, and state roads.

Maintaining greenway vegetation not only offers ecological benefits but also contributes to safety and the overall comfort of the city. With this decision, Pirna sends a clear signal for sustainable and citizen-friendly open space design.

Sports Promotion and Culture

The city of Pirna supports not only sports activities but also cultural and social projects. In April, for example, a book box in Pratzschwitz was supported with 3,260 euros. This project promotes reading culture and social inclusion locally.

A cleanliness concept was also decided upon, although it was postponed, it is intended to contribute to the long-term improvement of urban cleanliness. In addition, plans for honoring volunteer citizens were discussed and incorporated into the planning process.

Legal Foundations and Transparency

All decisions made in April were based on clear legal foundations, such as the Municipal Code, the Municipal Budget Regulation, and the Saxon Awarding Act. Particular attention was paid to transparency and compliance with information obligations, especially in the awarding of services. This is not only a legal requirement but also a sign of trust-building between politics and the citizens.

Conclusion and Outlook

April 2026 was characterized by concrete decisions that sustainably improve the quality of life in Pirna and its surrounding municipalities. The support for sports, culture, and social projects shows how important it is to act in a citizen-friendly manner. At the same time, the city has fulfilled its role as a service provider through budget planning and greenway maintenance.

In May, it will be important to implement the approved measures and further strengthen communication with the citizens. The upcoming committee meetings and municipal council sessions will show how well the political decisions can be translated into practice.
