Decisions of the municipal council on 5 May 2025
The municipal council convened on Monday, 5 May 2025.
§ 207 Increase in the value of performance-based service vouchers for early childhood education
The municipal board decided to increase the value of the service voucher to €950 and the early childhood education coefficient for children under three years of age to 1.6, effective from 1 August 2025.
§ 208 Reform of the management system
Kati Lepojärvi made a presentation:
I propose that we do not introduce a new remuneration system for the chairs of the council groups. For example, the remuneration for large groups would be twice as high as the annual remuneration of the vice-chairs of the council (€1,900 for the largest group, compared to €980 for the vice-chairs of the council). There was also disagreement about the proposal during the council group preparations. The proposal appears to follow a kind of party support model (compensation based on the size of the council group, i.e. favouring large political groups), and we have not had such a remuneration system in place before. In the current economic situation, the additional costs arising from positions of trust should be curbed rather than increased.
I also propose that rules of procedure be drawn up for the meetings of the council groups’ consultative committee and that minutes be taken of the meetings and distributed to all councillors in order to ensure transparency and the fair distribution of information. The meetings are consultative and have no decision-making or executive power. Meeting fees are paid on the same basis as for meetings of the council’s preparatory committee. I also propose that
the Council Groups’ Consultative Committee be chaired by the Chair of the Council or, in his or her absence, by the Vice-Chairs, in order to fulfil the duties of the Chair of the Council in accordance with the Tuusula Administrative Regulations:
4. be responsible for developing cooperation between
the council groups 5. be responsible for the conditions for cooperation between the council chairpersons.
Proposed amendment to the administrative regulations: Section
14 Council Group Advisory Committee The Council Group Advisory Committee
supports the work of the Council and the Mayor by
1. discusses matters to be decided by
the council 2. promotes cooperation between council groups
The members of the council group consultative committee are the mayor and deputy mayors, the
chairpersons of the council groups and the council presidium. The deputy chairs of the groups serve as deputy members of
the council group chairs. The chair of the council or, if he or she is unable to attend, the deputy chair, convenes
and chairs the meetings. The chief executive officer has the right to attend and speak at the meetings
. The advisory board may, if it so wishes, consult experts at its meetings. Agendas are drawn
up for the meetings and minutes are taken, which are distributed to the councillors.
The proposal was rejected as unfeasible.
