This had already been agreed with the staff representatives since the 14th electoral term of the Council. Mayor Frank Klingebiel also considered it necessary to conclude an identical service agreement for the duration of the 18th electoral term (from 2021 to 2026). Klingebiel continues to regard this as essential and indispensable in view of demographic developments, increasing the attractiveness of jobs and staff retention at the City of Salzgitter and the motivation of employees.
The committee also approved the construction of a new year-round outdoor pool at the Stadtbad Salzgitter-Lebenstedt with 4 swimming lanes and a wide wave slide as well as an adventure pool area. Bäder, Sport und Freizeit Salzgitter GmbH (BSF) has been commissioned to carry out the project.
Furthermore, the first floor of the Am Fredenberg grammar school will be converted into a school canteen, which the Council has also approved. The construction work will be carried out while separating the existing stairwells from the hall area on the first floor as a measure of preventive fire protection and barrier-free design of the entrance areas.
