Legislator summary

AI generated

The canton's Financial Budget Law mandates that municipal councils regulate specific areas, such as controlling, cost and performance accounting, internal control systems, and financial asset investments, through regulations. The municipality in question has failed to implement these required regulations since the Financial Budget Law came into effect, creating legal gaps. The governing council ruled that these gaps must be closed promptly, though the specific method, whether through revising the municipal charter or enacting a new regulation, was not determined in this decision.

OGVE 2018/19 Nr. 36

Art. 89 KV

Finanzhaushaltsgesetz des Kantons Obwalden; Gesetzgebung der Gemeinden; Regelungslücke im Gemeinderecht.

Entscheid des Regierungsrats vom 21. August 2018 (Nr. 38).

Aus den Erwägungen:

2.

( )

Das Finanzhaushaltsgesetz des Kantons Obwalden verlangt, dass der Gemeinderat in einigen Bereichen die Einzelheiten in einem Reglement regelt. Es sind dies zum Beispiel die Bereiche Controlling (Art. 59 Abs. 4 FHG), Kostenund Leistungsrechnung (Art. 66 Abs. 3 FHG), internes Kontrollsystem (Art. 69 Abs. 1 FHG) oder Vorgaben über die Anlagen des Finanzvermögens (Art. 71 Abs. 1 Bst. a FHG). Dies wurde in der Einwohnergemeine X bisher nicht umgesetzt. Es bestehen demnach seit der Inkraftsetzung des Finanzhausgesetzes Regelungslücken in der Gesetzgebung der Einwohnergemeinde X. Diese sind zwingend in absehbarer Zeit zu schliessen. Ob dies auf dem Weg der Revision der Gemeindeordnung geschehen soll, oder ob dafür ein neues Reglement zu erlassen ist, ist nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Prüfung und kann daher offenbleiben.
