Bodies of local self-government and public organization. On the interaction of local governments with political parties and public associations

Organs local government are obliged to take actions and make decisions based on the public interest, guided by the need to meet public needs, i.e. public interest of an indefinite circle of persons or a specific citizen or organization. Therefore, the relationship of local self-government bodies and their officials with citizens and their associations should be built on the basis of the principle of ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of the latter.

This principle can be implemented in various forms However, all actions and decisions of local self-government bodies and their officials should be aimed at ensuring the protection of the rights and interests of a citizen or an association of citizens.

The initiator of entering into the relationship under consideration can be both local governments and their officials, and citizens or associations of citizens.

Citizens can apply to local authorities or to officials local self-government with requests, suggestions, complaints or other appeals.

Appeals may relate to consumer protection issues, clarifications of certain norms of the current legislation, consulting and other issues. Moreover, citizens can apply to local self-government bodies individually, i.e. on its own behalf, and collectively, i.e. from a group of citizens. Accordingly, the person to whom the citizen addresses is obliged to try to solve the existing problem of the citizen, prepare him a detailed written response explaining the procedure, if the solution of the issue is beyond the competence of the local self-government body, or provide other assistance that can satisfy the needs of the citizen, guaranteed to him by law.

Local self-government bodies may apply to citizens residing in the territory municipality, for help in organizing and holding any event, with proposals, with a request for joint decision-making.

Appeals of local governments to citizens may also have a different character, due to the public need to resolve a particular issue of public importance.

Citizens' associations may apply to local self-government bodies for support or assistance in solving organizational problems, individual problems or issues.

The relationship of local self-government bodies with associations of citizens can also be based on partnership principles. In such cases, local self-government bodies and citizens' associations can join their efforts to solve a particular social problem, i.e. problems affecting all or part of the population of the municipality.

For example, the relationship of local governments with associations of citizens in the housing sector can be a tool to ensure conditions for efficient operation both the local self-government bodies themselves and the development of citizens' initiatives to improve the situation in the communal sector.

Local self-government bodies may participate in the implementation of collective agreements and agreements in order to promote contractual regulation social and labor relations and harmonization of social and economic interests of employees and employers. At the same time, they are obliged to negotiate on social and labor issues proposed for consideration by representatives of employees.

One of the legal instruments for ensuring interaction established by the Federal Law is the Public Chamber, one of the tasks of which is to ensure the interaction of citizens, public, religious, political and other associations of citizens with local governments.

Local governments have the right to interact with any subjects entrepreneurial activity regardless of their form of ownership.

The subject in relation to which their relationship can be built can be various issues related to both the interests of the business entity itself (singling out land plot for the construction of a business facility, consulting, etc.), and the interests of the municipality (a proposal to promote healthy lifestyle life among the population, a proposal to organize and hold a holiday, review, competition and other social and cultural events at the expense of the entrepreneur, etc.).

The relationship of local governments with business entities, including individual entrepreneurs may be based on public law or civil law principles.

Thus, an agreement between a business entity and a local government on cooperation in the social sphere will be a public legal act. And the contract for the supply of goods or equipment for municipal needs will be a civil law act.

A feature of the relationship between local governments and business entities is that such relationships should be aimed only at ensuring, protecting or meeting the public needs of the population or a particular citizen living in the territory of the municipality.

For example, local self-government bodies of municipal districts and urban districts are obliged by law to assist communication organizations providing universal communication services in obtaining and (or) building communication facilities and premises intended for the provision of universal communication services.

Citizens' credit consumer cooperatives can interact with local governments in the implementation of the requirements of the Federal Law "On Citizens' Credit Consumer Cooperatives".

IMPROVING INTERACTION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT BODIES AND PUBLIC ASSOCIATIONS OF THE CITY OF CHELYABINSK

Public associations, participating in solving socially significant problems of the territories of municipalities, are able to become a bridge between residents and local authorities. The article deals with the problems of the functioning of public associations and sets out recommendations for improving the interaction of local governments with public associations.

Keywords: public associations, non-profit organizations, socially oriented non-profit organizations, local governments.

Public associations1 and other non-profit organizations are an important source of social innovation, make a significant contribution to the implementation of the main goals and objectives of the social policy implemented by local governments, provide additional jobs on the basis of permanent and temporary employment, attract social sphere additional financial resources.

Most notably this process found its embodiment in the life of Chelyabinsk, undoubtedly in more with the support of the city government.

AT Chelyabinsk region As of July 1, 2011, 3,906 non-profit organizations were registered in the departmental register of the Department of Justice. Compared to 2006, the number of registered non-profit organizations increased by 18,802.

“Territorially, the main number of public organizations and non-profit partnerships are concentrated in the regional center - approximately 80%. In the region's second largest city, Magnitogorsk, approximately 6% of public associations and 17% of non-profit partnerships operate. The remaining number of registered public organizations

Comparative analysis indicators for state registration non-profit organizations for 2010 and 20114

organizations are distributed throughout the region depending on the size of municipalities - Miass (232 registered public organizations), Zlatoust - 192, Ozersk

87, Snezhinsk - 78, Kasli - 52, Kyshtym - 51, Karabash - 13, etc. "3.

The well-being of the population also depends to a large extent on how competently the relations of local self-government bodies with public associations are built.

The success of urban policy pursued by local governments is largely determined by the degree of complicity, interest, involvement of non-profit organizations and territorial public self-government into implementation decisions taken of local importance, i.e., the success of the process of interaction between local governments and non-profit organizations.

active work in this area is carried out by the Department for Interaction with Public Associations, the main task of which is functional support interaction of the City Administration with various public associations5. The effectiveness of the activities of the Department for Interaction with Public Associations is achieved primarily through multi-level partnerships, using the potential of public organizations, citizens, together with administrative and business resources for the benefit and development of the city.

To date, there are the following forms of interaction with public associations:

1. Placement of orders for the supply of goods, performance of work, provision of services for municipal needs6. Unfortunately, today public associations do not even have the opportunity to participate in the competition for placing an order, since they are not able to compete with commercial enterprises. Although public associations have great potential, they are closest to the local population, they see its problems, and in solving some of them they can act more effectively than business structures.

2. Allocation of grants on a competitive basis and control over their use. "Grant - cash, including material resources provided free of charge and

on an irrevocable basis from the budgets of various levels, off-budget funds and charities. In the system of fiscal federalism, the term ‘grant’ is used as a synonym for the term ‘transfer’”7. The right to participate in the competition for municipal grants is granted to non-profit organizations operating in the city of Chelyabinsk for at least one year. It should be noted that Chelyabinsk is the first city in our region that began to provide municipal grants to public organizations.

3. Providing non-profit organizations with tax and non-tax benefits. "Local authorities of the city of Chelyabinsk provide support to non-profit organizations whose goals and activities correspond to the directions of development of the city of Chelyabinsk in the form of providing benefits in the form of full or partial exemption from local taxes directed to the city budget, in accordance with the law in the prescribed manner, or in the form of establishing incentives for rent for land, other real estate objects that are in municipal ownership of the city of Chelyabinsk, in the manner prescribed by regulatory legal acts city ​​of Chelyabinsk"8.

4. Joint development of city and industry targeted programs and coordination of activities in their implementation.

5. Providing information on the socio-economic and budgetary policy pursued in the city, on activities related to the activities of non-profit organizations in order to attract citizens of the city of Chelyabinsk to more active participation in the life of the city.

Thus, the forms of interaction between local governments and the public can be conditionally divided into two groups

Economic and non-economic forms. The main economic forms are public councils, exchange of information, provision of educational and methodological assistance. The main economic forms of interaction are the joint implementation of social programs, the formation and placement of orders for the supply of goods, the performance of work, the provision of services for municipal needs, grants (subsidies), property support for non-governmental non-profit organizations.

Currently, the following problems can be identified in the Department for Interaction with Public Associations:

1. Financing - only % of funds are allocated from the budget for the implementation of activities, the main sources are the funds of partners and sponsors.

2. Lack of personnel - the staff of the structural unit consists of 6 job units.

3. Management is not divided into departments by type of activity.

Many public associations face a number of difficulties in the course of their functioning. There are 3 groups of problems according to their severity.

legal, informational and consulting assistance, to transfer property to such non-profit organizations for use in their activities. But not only that. To provide them, which is no less important, with tax benefits, to place state and municipal orders with them on the same basis as state and municipal institutions conditions (today the latter are exempt from VAT).

Such a register can be placed in the public domain on the Administration's Web page and updated in the current mode. The status can be confirmed by the placement of an annual public report on the activities of these organizations.

Groups of problems according to the degree of severity for public associations

Severity of the problem Problem

The problem is very acute - Lack of Money

The problem is not felt very acutely - Lack of the necessary material base - Shortcomings in the taxation system - Imperfection legislative framework- Underdevelopment financial support on the part of the authorities - Absence of a center of public associations - Absence of a register of socially oriented non-profit organizations - Absence of a municipal social order

The problem is felt weakly - Problem with renting premises - Insufficient attention of the public to the problems and activities of the association - Lack (shortage) of qualified employees (lawyer, accountant, etc.) - Lack of knowledge about non-profit activities - Passivity of members and participants of the association - Insufficient attention from the side of funds mass media- Insufficient number of activists (volunteers, voluntary assistants) - Lack (insufficiency) of information about other public associations - Organizational/managerial problems

One of the ways to improve the interaction between public associations and local governments is the creation of a register of socially oriented non-profit organizations.

Public associations included in such a register will have the opportunity to count on direct support from the state. Authorities will be able to provide such non-profit organizations with financial

The problem of underdevelopment of financial support can be solved by placing a municipal order for the implementation of social services for socially oriented non-profit public organizations.

Non-profit organizations must participate in the competition for placement of municipal social order in such areas as social work, education, physical education, culture and some others.

Public associations have certain advantages, such as initiative, mobility and low overhead costs, which will help them win some of these competitions.

Placing a municipal social order among non-profit organizations would lead to more efficient use budgetary funds and ensuring the quality of social services provided to the population. The social order will not only allow local governments to do their job effectively, but will also give non-profit organizations a normal basis for existence, for active, and most importantly, highly professional work.

Non-profit organizations will become more popular through publication in the media, and therefore more viable, they will learn a business way of life. Public associations and local self-government bodies will become partners, not bosses - subordinates, which will increase the degree of democracy in society and activate the population to participate in self-government.

The ultimate goal of placing this order

Removal of a certain share of social tension in society by involving people in socially significant activities and the most rational use of funds allocated for municipal social programs, with a guaranteed end result.

An important step towards improving interaction is the creation of the Center for Public Associations.

The main goal of the Center will be to coordinate the activities of public associations, create infrastructure and material base for support public structures, as well as promoting the development of democracy and civil society, the socio-economic development of the city of Chelyabinsk, and the effective interaction of business, government and the public.

The establishment of the Center will solve such problems as the lack (insufficiency) of information about other public associations; a problem with renting a room; insufficient public attention to the problems and activities of public associations; lack (shortage) of qualified employees (lawyer, accountant, etc.).

In addition, by transferring the property to the Center for operational management, the City Administration will reduce budget expenditures on renting premises for holding various events with the participation of public associations. The problem of finding premises for holding these events will disappear, both for the City Administration and for the public associations themselves, since this Center will have the opportunity to create a permanent platform for holding scientific and practical conferences, forums, training seminars, holidays, concerts, negotiations, etc.

Public organizations will be able to unite with each other and with local governments to solve socially significant problems. Public attention to the problems and activities of public associations will increase, since the population will know that there is a Center that unites human rights, national-cultural, sports, military-patriotic, women's, youth and other public organizations and which can be contacted on issues of interest.

Thus, the need to create the Center is due both to the social needs of the public associations themselves, and the need to combine information about the positive experience of the work of public structures, the development of civil society, democratic institutions in the city of Chelyabinsk.

From the very beginning of their functioning, public associations are included in a complex system of relations with their partners: other non-profit organizations, authorities at various levels, commercial structures, etc. Today, this system of interaction has accumulated many complex problems that impede a constructive dialogue between authorities and "community". These problems require an immediate solution, since inaction can lead to a weakening of the role of public associations as the most important institution of civil society, and possibly the loss of their direct purpose - the realization of socially significant interests.

To date, public associations have a huge potential for concentrating efforts to protect social

economic interests local residents. Public associations can become a tool for realizing the interests of the local population. They can take on the function of protecting city residents and actively represent their interests in local self-government bodies, can jointly interact with municipal authorities on the socio-economic well-being of the territorial entity and contribute to improving the quality of life of the local community.

8 Decision of the Chelyabinsk City Duma of the third convocation "On approval of the Regulations on the interaction of local governments ..."

In public associations, the dependence of the status of public associations on their territorial sphere of activity has been established. Mandatory indication of the territorial scope of activity public association must contain in the name of the organization. There are four territorial types of public associations:

1. All-Russian public association can carry out its activities in the territories of more than half of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and has its own structural subdivisions there - organizations, departments or branches and representative offices. Currently, the Russian Federation consists of 85 subjects. Lack of required quantity structural subdivisions is a violation and may lead to the liquidation of the public association. The inclusion in the names of all-Russian public associations of the name Russian Federation or Russia, as well as words derived from this name,allowed without special permission.
2. Interregional public association carries out its activities in the territories of less than half of the subjects Russian Federation and has its own structural subdivisions there - organizations, departments or branches and representative offices. To obtain this status, it is enough to have branches in at least 2 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Interregional public associations have a special structure, which, as a rule, consists of regional and local branches.
3. Regional public association, the activity of such an association in accordance with its statutory goals is carried out within the territory of one subject. For example, the Moscow Public Organization for the Protection of Consumer Rights, as the very name of the organization implies, operates in Moscow.
4. local public association conducts its activities within the territory of only one local government. For example, the Losinoostrovskaya Local Public District Organization of Motorists operates on the territory of the Losinoostrovskoye intracity municipality of the city of Moscow.

Branches has the right to acquire the rights of a legal entity and is also entitled to carry out activities on the basis of its charters registered in the prescribed manner. At the same time, the goals and objectives of the branches should not contradict the charter of the parent public association. It is the possibility of a regional branch to become independent legal entity leads to the fact that when creating a regional branch, it should have at least three members representatives of this region. Since the public association is created on the initiative of the founders - at least three individuals and/or public associations.

Russia is a democratic country, therefore the development of society is based on democratic principles and values. One of the most important tasks of the state is to establish a dialogue between all members of society. Public associations and non-profit organizations help the state in the implementation of this task.

Unfortunately, at the moment the dialogue between the authorities and public associations is just beginning to develop. And the initiative, as a rule, comes from the authorities, while in Europe the process of interaction with public organizations has long been established and is bearing fruit. For example, a developed social partnership is actively practiced in European countries and makes it possible to reduce the social burden on the state by shifting some of its responsibilities to public organizations.

There are some problems in the interaction between local governments and non-profit organizations today. These interaction issues include:

− Information secrecy;

− Absence feedback with citizens and organizations;

− Weak self-organization of the population to solve problems;

− Low social activity, etc.

The task of local governments is to build favorable relations with public organizations, because the well-being of all citizens depends on how effective the relations between them are. One of the important indicators successful activity bodies of LSG is the degree of participation of citizens in the activities of non-profit organizations.

The main forms of interaction between local governments and non-profit organizations are the same as when interacting with public associations, since public organizations are part of such associations. These forms include:

− Placement of social municipal orders;

− Allocation of grants and subsidies;

− Provision of tax and non-tax benefits;

− Joint development of programs;

− Informing about the ongoing socio-economic and budgetary policy;

Now let's take a closer look at all these forms.

Placing social municipal orders is the most popular way for city authorities to interact with public organizations, non-profit organizations, and commercial enterprises. A municipal order is an agreement between a local government and commercial or non-profit, public organizations on the provision of certain services, or on the performance of works financed from the municipal budget. Unfortunately, today, non-profit organizations have almost no chance to participate in the competition for placing a municipal order, since they simply cannot compete with commercial enterprises. Although it is NGOs that have great potential, since they are closer to the local population than other organizations, they see the main problems and, in solving some of them, can be more effective commercial enterprises.

The allocation of grants and subsidies takes place on a competitive basis and there is control by local governments over their use. Grant - money or material resources provided to organizations, enterprises, individuals on a gratuitous basis from budgets different levels. Subsidy - payments to consumers provided at the expense of the state or local budget, as well as payments of special funds for legal entities and individuals, local authorities, other states. Grants and subsidies can be provided to non-profit organizations for the implementation of projects

Providing benefits to non-profit organizations of a tax non-tax nature. Some NPOs are eligible for tax benefits. Article 149 Tax Code Russian Federation, exempt from taxation are public organizations of disabled people in which 80 percent of the participants are disabled people and their legal representatives; organizations, authorized capital which consists entirely of contributions from participants with disabilities; organizations whose sole owners are persons with disabilities.

Also, non-profit organizations have benefits when paying income tax. According to Article 251 of the Tax Code, earmarked revenues are not taken into account when determining the tax base. The right to free use of state or municipal property is also not taken into account in taxation. Another "bonus" for public and non-profit organizations is that organizations that do not have income from the sale of goods and services pay only quarterly advance payments based on the results of the reporting period. And also, if the organization does not have an obligation to pay income tax, then there is no obligation to submit a tax return.

Another form of interaction between local governments and public organizations is the joint development of programs and their coordination, as well as control over their implementation.

Local self-government bodies provide information on the budgetary and socio-economic policy pursued in the city and on activities related to the work of non-profit organizations.

Another form of interaction is public councils under local governments. Such councils are created for more effective communication between representatives of non-profit organizations and representatives of local governments. Such councils may meet "on occasion", that is, when it is necessary to urgently resolve some issue in which the participation of non-profit organizations is needed, or they may be permanent.

Having analyzed all these forms of interaction, they can be conditionally divided into economic and non-economic. This is illustrated below (Table 1)

Table 1 -

Forms of interaction between non-profit organizations and local governments.

There is another, similar scheme (Fig. 1), clearly showing the forms of interaction between non-profit organizations and local governments.

Figure 1 - forms of interaction between non-profit organizations and local governments.

It is also conditionally possible to divide all forms of interaction between NGOs and the authorities into the patron-client type and the intersectoral type. social partnership. The first is characterized by the fact that NPOs have no control over the activities of government bodies and do not participate in the distribution of funds. And the type of intersectoral social partnership is characterized by an increase in public confidence in NGOs, self-organization of NGOs and participation in the distribution of funds.

The local self-government body, when interacting with non-profit organizations, must:

− Keep in constant contact with NGO leaders;

− Monitor the status of NCOs, monitor their creation and liquidation;

− Control the activities of NGOs (no matter how destructive they may be);

− Involve NGOs in the process of making socially important decisions;

− Provide support to various forms of NGOs;

− Provide information support- talk about the socially useful activities of NGOs;

− Create conditions for the development and creation of new NGOs.

All over the world, authorities and NGOs act as partners. In Russia, according to the law, NGOs are required to report on their activities regularly, while the state must exercise the rights of citizens to participate in solving public affairs, as well as provide support for the activities of non-profit organizations. But in practice, the situation is a little different, the state is reluctant, or rather "conditionally" or declaratively, provides support to such organizations. The reality is this. That support is not provided to all non-profit organizations. First of all, organizations involved in social work, but organizations that are engaged in human rights and analytical activities are supported by the state much less.

Summing up, it should be noted that the main goal of any non-profit organization, regardless of its form, is to identify the interests and needs of a particular social group and their further satisfaction, activities for the benefit of society as a whole. Non-profit organizations can formalize the interests of citizens, and make proposals to the authorities to satisfy them.

To ensure the interaction of coordinated functioning and interaction of state authorities of the regions with non-profit organizations, councils are created under the governor. Also, under the ministries, coordinating councils are created, which include representatives of public organizations.

The heads of non-profit organizations are members of boards and commissions under ministries. Representatives of public and non-profit organizations are members of public chambers.

Administrative reform mechanisms, namely temporary dialogues state structures with the authorities gave the opportunity to NPOs to begin to influence the authorities - public organizations get the opportunity to express their opinions aimed at improving the situation of those groups whose interests they defend. In this regard, constructive and destructive mechanisms of influence can be distinguished. Constructive mechanisms include: the influence of the authorities on NGOs through the provision of organizational, advisory, financial and information assistance, as well as the provision of grants for the implementation of various programs. The possibility of NGOs to influence the government is also noted. These are such methods as the creation of various councils, official appeals, expert meetings, round tables through the media. Employees of the latter participate in writing reports, conducting human rights monitoring, and then transmit this data to the authorities. Destructive ways of interaction include rallies and protests.

Accordingly, as soon as local governments learn to interact with public associations, non-profit and public organizations, this will bear fruit. After all, thanks to the work of public organizations, municipal authorities can implement some of their functions, for example, social protection citizens. And also, using non-profit organizations, you can more effectively and quickly track the real needs of the population, see their moods, and begin to act actively. Of course, there are certain problems in the interaction between the authorities and NGOs, for example, the unwillingness of citizens to participate in society, insufficient social activity and responsibility of the population, insufficient funding for certain forms of non-profit organizations. As soon as the authorities and organizations learn to competently use each other's services, it will be possible to observe a highly socialized society with high civic responsibility. But all this, of course, takes time.

Head of the Ministry of Defense Sol-Iletsk urban district

"On the interaction of local governments with political parties and public associations"

The interaction between government and society is always great importance. This is one of the most important indicators of the effectiveness and stability of the current government. From the number of public organizations and associations, the level of their activity and ability to influence the authorities, one can judge how open the public bodies are to interaction with society. On the other hand, support from the government is also important and necessary for the public itself. These are two mutually influencing components of the political process.
On the territory of the Sol-Iletsk district, public organizations and political parties work steadily, each of which reflects the interests of a certain part of society.
One of the oldest and most active organizations of the region is the public organization of veterans of war, labor, the Armed Forces and law enforcement. The organization is headed by Fedor Lukyanovich Naryzhnev. The Veterans Council provides social support veterans of war and labor, elderly citizens, participates in activities to patriotic education youth. Member of the Council 40 primary organizations, 22 of them in the villages, 18 in the city. This makes it possible to coordinate the work of the council quite effectively. Primary veteran organizations are strong points through which communication is established with each veteran of the village, organization of the enterprise. The Veterans Council cooperates with other public organizations, leads joint work with the district administration.
The Council of Women of the Sol-Iletsk District (Zaborsen L.V.) has been actively working for many years, which deals with solving problems of the family, motherhood and increasing the role of women in socio-political, economic, cultural life. Together with schools, cultural institutions, administrations of settlements, various sports, cultural and entertainment events are held with the invitation of families with children.
The Sol-Iletsk district branch of the Orenburg regional public organization“Union of veterans of local wars and military conflicts” (D.F. Abdulmanov), Sol-Iletsk district branch of the Orenburg regional organization “Brotherhood” of the All-Russian public organization of war invalids in Afghanistan (A.P. Belkovich). The latter actively participates in sports events held in the region.
The modern Cossacks are asserting themselves more and more actively. Created in the region non-profit organization- Sol-Iletsk farm Cossack society, which is structural unit Orenburg departmental Cossack society "The first department of the Orenburg Cossack army". To date, this is the only Cossack organization in the Sol-Iletsk region that has legally formalized its status.
Another important element society is the youth.
There are 12,680 young people aged 14 to 30 living in our district. District youth and children's associations contribute to the formation of moral values ​​and cultural traditions of the new generation, provide information to young people about their rights and opportunities, support and strengthen the institution of the young family. With the support of these organizations, children and youth of the district participate in various competitions and events, unite in interest clubs. Sufficient living in the area a large number of young people and therefore it is very important to pay attention to this subgroup of society. From the interest of young people, from the level of their involvement in public life, not only the further development of civil relations in society, but also the future as a whole depends on the possibilities of self-realization. Elections to the Youth Chamber of the Sol-Iletsk region were held last year through Internet voting. The main goal of the Youth Chamber is to increase the role of youth in addressing youth policy issues on the territory of the municipality, as well as assisting the Council of Deputies in the development of regulatory legal acts aimed at addressing issues of local importance for the organization and implementation of inter-settlement activities for work with children and youth.
In 2012, an active political reform began in our country, changes were made to the federal law"About political parties". There are currently 64 political parties registered in the country, and there are 135 organizing committees of political parties.
In our area throughout recent years 4 batches function stably. These are local branches of the party "United Russia", the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party, the party "Fair Russia".
We are open for dialogue and cooperation with public associations, political parties and to resolve issues jointly in the interests of the residents of our region.
In order to increase the role of interaction between the administration and the public of the district, to involve the general population in the development of proposals on the most important social, economic and political development issues, members of the public are regularly invited to public hearings to discuss the draft local budget and report on its implementation, the draft charter. Participate in the annual reports of the head of the district.
Interaction and coordination of actions of the authorities and public organizations is of great importance. For this purpose, as well as in order to promote social and political stability in the region, a socio-political council was formed under the head of the municipality Sol-Iletsk district. The Council is an advisory body.
The main tasks of the council are:
- interaction with political parties and public associations in order to maintain socio-political stability in the region;
- development of social partnership between local governments and local branches of political parties.
The main functions of the council are:
- analysis of trends in the socio-political situation in the region and the development of the necessary recommendations;
- development of proposals for the creation favorable conditions for the participation of residents of the Sol-Iletsk district in political processes;
- informing local branches of political parties about the main directions of the policy of the district leadership;
- provision of advisory, informational and methodological assistance to local governments of the region on issues of interaction with party organizations in the field;
- organization of conferences, round tables and other events to discuss social and political issues.
To carry out its functions, the council holds meetings. Council meetings are held at least once a quarter. The meeting of the council is considered competent if it is attended by at least half of the total number of its members.
I hope that the Socio-Political Council will become a link between various segments of society and local authorities in solving various problems.
