What will happen to the surplus headquarters?
To build a model of organizing local government at 2 levels, as well as prepare conditions for the new communes and wards to officially come into operation from July 1, 2025, Dien Bien province has developed a plan to handle public assets when rearranging commune-level administrative units.
According to the province's draft, the arrangement and handling of working headquarters and career facilities will be carried out according to the principle of prioritizing reuse for state agencies and organizations in need, including central units located in the area.
For surplus facilities, the handling plan includes: converting the function of serving health, education, culture - sports; reclaiming, assigning to the public management unit of the province to manage and exploit; or assigning to the local land fund development organization to receive and develop.
According to the Department of Finance, the whole province currently has 302 headquarters, 302 plots of land and 602 houses on the land subject to review and adjustment to ensure compliance with the new organizational situation.
Recently, at the Conference of the Steering Committee on the development of social housing and the implementation of social housing policies, Mr. Tran Quoc Cuong - Secretary of the Dien Bien Provincial Party Committee proposed that the Department of Construction preside over and coordinate with the Department of Finance to advise on the development of a plan for the implementation of social housing in the province.
In particular, it is necessary to identify, classify, and concretize each type of social housing differently, and forecast new demand. At the same time, develop a plan for social housing land in the locality, and first renovate the surplus headquarters to convert them to houses and public housing.
Do not leave machinery and equipment "shelved"
In parallel with handling surplus facilities, Dien Bien province has identified handling public assets, especially machinery, equipment and other assets as a key task.
Accordingly, specialized machinery and equipment will be transferred to agencies, organizations, and units receiving corresponding professional tasks to continue using, ensuring uninterrupted professional operations.
For common machinery, equipment, and shared assets, localities will prioritize making the most of the assets that are still usable.
In case there are still surplus assets, localities will conduct coordination and reallocation within newly established commune-level administrative units in the same district or the whole province.
Regarding the plan to manage and use public cars, the whole Dien Bien province currently has 67 cars subject to arrangement. It is expected that each new commune-level administrative unit will be arranged with at least 1 vehicle to serve public activities.
At the regular meeting of the Provincial People's Committee held on June 16, Mr. Tran Quoc Cuong - Secretary of the Dien Bien Provincial Party Committee emphasized that the whole province must focus all resources to put the 45 new commune-level administrative units into operation.
Require Party committees and authorities from district to commune to urgently arrange both personnel and facilities at the new commune-level administrative units. In addition, there must be a plan to maintain security and order in localities when the district-level activities end.
