postponed jobs, classroom brawl



The work of the Palermo City Council will continue today regarding the convention of the “Renzo Barbera” stadium, after the discussion on the front of the amendments to the text (17 in total) began yesterday. In the classroom during the day there was no lack of moments of tussle; then from 18.30 a series of postponements led to the postponement of the work until Friday (the appeal is scheduled for 11 am).

Among the main topics of comparison were those of invoices and previous records. The oppositions have urged complaining about the failure to send in a timely manner the requested documentation to the offices of the Municipality and ask to be put in a position to work to define as soon as possible the resolution of the stadium convention. The councilor Forello in particular (stating that the company would only have made requests for extraordinary maintenance works – still to be carried out) asked that before signing the agreement it is ascertained whether the payments of the fees for the periods prior to Covid have been made and possibly resolve the matter before the signing of the document.

During the day, the proposal to amend the director emerged Russo, who discussed with the mayor’s chief of staff about the possibility of granting Barbera to Palermo free of charge (or with a symbolic euro) provided that the club uses the structure only for sporting events and that it deals with ordinary maintenance costs and extraordinary. The councilor Randazzo instead, it consulted the offices regarding the application of the 4% rate on the value of the property as a parameter for defining the rent provided for by the agreement.
