The sessions should not last longer than two and a half hours. In the past, the conclusion was often not until midnight.

You talk a lot, when the day is long: This proverb needs to be modified for the meetings of the 25 Munich district committees easily, because these always take place in the evening and last sometimes until midnight. For far too long, Günther Sinapius, who sits for the Greens in the district Committee (BA), Sendling-Westpark, and now the request was to restrict the meeting duration to a maximum of 2.5 hours. “In the last time have pulled some of the BA sessions in the length, without a corresponding value would have been visible,” explained Sinapius its foray, which has now been discussed by his BA-colleagues for the first time.
The physicist, who has worked for a long time as an examiner at the European patent office, to his colleagues a simple statement: Everyone can imagine how long it would take, if each of the 25 BA members would take only ten minutes of time to share his opinion. Only a few BA members took advantage of this right, but considerably longer talked, that, in addition to the course on the Same.

Deceptive forecast
This would then disadvantage those “the refrain in terms of the duration of the session in the longer versions”. Sinapius, the heart itself, usually the latter principle suggests, therefore, that you agreed a talk time of about five minutes per Person. Sinapius: “as a result, the meetings would be limited to a reasonable time frame, and all the members would be motivated to participate more than before in the discussions.”
If, however, the groups meaningful, the total speaking time in its entirety your speaker did in fact go to that would be no Problem. However, this would prevent more members reported. Exactly this but Sinapius, in terms of democratic education would be more meaningful.
In the BA Sendling-Westpark has established itself, for example, in the case of the CSU group Long been the practice of the Talking, mostly to leave the group, spokesman Alfred nail, the sound of this opportunity and always, but sometimes a little excessive to take. Like a nail then a few turns in the past, brings political principles on the Table and touches then also problems that may not be on district level, but in the best case, in the city hall, in the Parliament or to the Bundestag resolved.
In the past meetings, it looked like the dispute with Matthias Jörg, who is the Chairman of the municipal tenant Advisory Board, Recently launched as the successors to the BA belongs to, and also as the managing Director of the SPD city Council group is working for the CSU, in spite of the red-black Alliance in the town hall, as before, the political counter-part. Nail raised again and again the questions can be important, but at the BA level, answered hardly or solved. Accordingly, members feel that in the ranks of the BA-quite a displeasure to, because you progressed in the light of such discussions of the all party political Small-the smallest in the agenda while the clock was ticking relentlessly.
Although the brand is well placed to have noticed that the request on streamlining of the meetings was not coined recently to him, he showed with the aim of in the direction of agree. “You can absolutely do so,” said the CSU parliamentary group speaker in the last BA session this year, but suggested in the same breath, to have the meetings an hour earlier than before, i.e. already at 19 o’clock, start. The left, in turn the professionals working in the body in protest, it was agreed at 19: 30 as the session start and a session duration of a maximum of 2.5 hours. The BA Chairman Günter Keller (SPD) announced that the BA Board to develop procedures to limit the session duration as required. Keller: “We have got a couple of ideas.”
The rules of procedure for district committees, is such a restriction: “the decision of the district Committee, the number of Speakers on any agenda item may be limited and the speaking time will be limited. In case of Exceeding the allotted time, the Chairperson may withdraw, after a single reminder, the word”, – stated in Clause 10. BA-in-chief Günter Keller has always the appropriate Instrument of Europe – its quite urgent meeting bell.
another proverb, “time is money”, with regard to this question do not use. For the participation in the meeting of each BA member will receive 70 Euro, regardless of their duration.
