The private life of the ORE: a bird's-attitude in the old sewage treatment plant

It sounds like a ditzy Pointe: The Zurich Zoo gives its Emus, to disposal and Recycling Zurich (ERZ). In fact, Alt-laughing city Council Martin Vollenwyder (FDP), as he reminds himself of this discovery. Quite perplexed he was when he did happen to know a way that ORE was entered in the animal husbandry. Vollenwyder, then sat as a councillor in the Board of Directors of the zoo, so he got Wind of it.

The idea came from Urs Pauli, as this was given to attorney Tomas Poledna to Protocol, the investigation report has been released today. It was a matter of, to use a Meadow on the Site of the disused sewage treatment Plant Smooth when opfiker Park. Pauli suggested that the keeping of ostriches, but an expert of the zoo advised – too dangerous. He recommended, instead, Emus, large ratites from Australia.

The councillor was deceived

Vollenwyder confronted his former city Council colleague, Mrs Ruth Genner (Grüne), Paulis political superiors. He wanted to know why you have so approved. Emus hardly a core are of competence of the ORE. No one knew at the time that the animals would even be immortalized by a photographer as an art, paid for from a black cashier. Genner recalls, according to Polednas report that your Pauli had assured the staff would take care of in the leisure to the animals.

That was not true: the care of The Emus stand rather in the specification of the head of the workshops and was the object of three of its employees. Such employment programs had apparently System. The Workshops Wallisellen are a loss-making operation, the ORE, in 2004, To little work and a lot of personnel – including people who were, according to Pauli because of physical or mental problems anywhere else can be used and the IV would have been took over and made since then:. to

The secret of classic car Museum

this is not to be dismissed, and built up ORE something internal called Poledna as a "covert operation social action": a classic car Museum, which is located in the same Area as the Emu enclosure. There were able to devote two employees of the restoration of historical cleaning vehicles. This happened without a legal basis.

The cost for the building have been artificially divided into amounts of less than 200’000 Swiss francs, of which Pauli was able to approve on its own authority. Pauli contradicts statements that he alone decided on the construction of: He had nothing to do with it. The cost of labour for the restoration of classic cars, about 300'000 Swiss francs in the year, should be recorded on Paulis statement as "repairs of mechanical parts". They were so obstructed in a targeted, concludes Poledna. The then competent councillor Genner, it was a concern that the IV threatened the employees were engaged in the workshop, she knew, but nothing from the Museum.

"ORE is presented here in a very pure Form as by the legal framework of the city of Zurich dissolved unit."Tomas Poledna, investigator-in-charge

The classic car Museum displays according to the Poledna report "eye-catching and the course of on tips", how much ORE a life of its own: "ORE is presented here in a very pure Form than from a legal and organisational framework of the city of Zurich dissolved unit."

Paulis Management of the loss-making Workshops is coming in the report. Unlike 2005, the municipal councils, was the operation never cover the costs. Instead, it was trying to awaken with accounting Tricks the appearance, it is on the up. The competent councillors Martin Waser, and Ruth Genner would have to make Poledna in this regard, more pressure on the ORE-guidance – for them, the preservation of jobs but in the foreground. The cost: an annual deficit of up to CHF 3 million per year of tax-at the expense - and fee-payers. (Tages-Anzeiger)
