In a scenario where efficient and transparent public management is becoming increasingly essential, it is with great satisfaction that the institutions Observatório Social do Brasil – São Leopoldo, Council of Churches and Ministries of São Leopoldo, and Sindcontábil Vale do Rio dos Sinos, recognize and support initiatives that reflect these values. The recent decision by the Mayor of São Leopoldo, Iara Cardoso, to revoke the decree for the transfer of the Chamber’s headquarters, demonstrates a commendable commitment to fiscal responsibility and the well-being of the community.
In this context, the three institutions highlight the importance of actions that prioritize efficiency in the allocation of public resources, transparency in government decisions, and the preservation of São Leopoldo’s historical and cultural heritage. The choice of President Iara Cardoso meets these principles, avoiding excessive spending and promoting more integrated and accessible public management.
Below is the public note that details and reinforces our support for this exemplary decision.
Public note from institutions:
- Social Observatory of Brazil – São Leopoldo
- Council of Churches and Ministries of São Leopoldo
- Sindcontábil Vale do Rio dos Sinos
The Boards of the Social Observatory of Brazil – São Leopoldo, Council of Churches and Ministries of São Leopoldo and Sindcontábil Vale do Rio dos Sinos, institutions committed to transparency, ethics and efficiency in public management, hereby express their unconditional support to the decision taken by the Mayor of São Leopoldo, Mrs. Iara Cardoso.
The initiative to revoke the decree that provided for the transfer of the headquarters of the São Leopoldo City Council, with an estimated cost of 2 million reais, reflects a responsible stance and aligned with public interests.
This measure avoids excessive spending of public resources on renovations of a private property, which, in addition to not being compensated in the rent, would not contribute to public assets.
Furthermore, the proposal to evaluate the former Unisinos headquarters as the new headquarters for the City Council represents a strategic and innovative vision.
The location, adjacent to the city hall, facilitates integration and collaboration between the Executive and Legislative powers, thus strengthening local governance and public management. This decision not only preserves a historical and cultural site of great value to the São Leopoldo community, but also promotes more efficient and accessible management of public spaces.
Therefore, the institutions mentioned above applaud the leadership and vision of President Iara Cardoso, and reaffirm their support for all actions that promote transparency, fiscal responsibility and effectiveness in public administration. This decision contributes significantly to the sustainable development and well-being of our community.
São Leopoldo, February 7, 2024.
