Alderman of Economic Affairs has stressed that "to optimize existing resources more efficiently, the City will save more than 86,000 euros a year just in leasing contracts and other 62,400 in fuel"

The Councillor for Economy and Finance of the City of Lorca, Antonio Ibarra, has announced the cost savings for municipal coffers a cut in the Consistory fleet over the past year and a half.

In this sense, Ibarra pointed out that "only since April 2009, the municipal fleet has been reduced in terms of passenger cars in September.

We have grown from 24 to 19 own cars, a decline of more than 20%.

As for renting cars, we have reduced by 21% from 19 to 15. "

Alderman of Economic Affairs has stated that "thanks to an optimization of existing resources and the rotation of vehicles, have been able to significantly reduce the costs of the vehicles used by municipal services, not undermine them."

And is that "in addition to insurance rates and gasoline, a lot of vehicles had been removed with high leasing contracts, which included the monthly and disproportionate options," said Ibarra.

Specifically, according to Councilman details, "the City will not pay 86,463 euros annually in lease contracts, to which we must add the cost savings in maintenance of these vehicles removed, ie, insurance, petrol and workshop expenses ".

As examples of disproportionate spending on vehicles inherited from previous municipal governments, Ibarra noted "the official Audi the Mayor resigned in April this year when the contract expired lease that cost about 2,500 euros per month to the municipal coffers, Volkswagen Tourang or acquired for the use of the mayors of the government team in 2006, which had a contract of nearly $ 1,000 monthly and an option to purchase 12,000 euros completely unrestrained, of course, we have assumed. "

This reduction, according to Ibarra, "a new sign of commitment of the City Council with the reduction of public expenditure by eliminating wasteful spending municipal inherited from previous governments."

In this sense, Ibarra said that "for instance, cars for the mayor and council have been reduced by 40% from 5 to 3 as they would fulfill the leasing contracts, assuming a savings of almost 42,000 per year to government coffers. "

Similarly, Ibarra announced that "our intention is that as they fulfill most lease contracts, further reducing the municipal fleet."
