The legal framework necessary for the establishment and operation of the mayor’s office and for the appointment of its staff will be amended. The initiative provides for amendments to the Law on the Status of Staff of the Administrative Apparatus of Persons Holding Positions of State Importance and to the Law on the Unified System of Remuneration in the Public Sector.
The initiative is justified by the scope and complexity of the mayor’s administrative duties. Bălți is the second most populous municipality in Moldova and the main urban centre of the Northern Region. It has a population of 94,500, and its administration comprises 240 staff members.
The office will be tasked with providing the mayor with professional and operational support in the performance of his duties. At the same time, it will not be a separate public authority and will not replace the structural departments of the mayor’s office.
The number of staff and the structure of the office will be determined taking into account needs and available financial resources. Expenditure related to its operation will be covered by the Bălți city budget without additional allocations from the state budget.
The draft law, drawn up by a group of MPs from the ‘Our Party’ parliamentary group, will be considered at a plenary session of Parliament.
