Reviewing the letter of the Director General of Roads and Urban Development of the province regarding the tariff of 2019.
The mistake of the 4-member board or the shortcoming of the organization’s board of directors?!
Part II ;
As it was said in the first part, from the minutes of the meeting of 8/25/99, the approval of the tariff of 99 cannot be taken from the minutes of the meeting of the four members of the provincial board, which requires an explanation from the governorate and the general administration.
In any case, according to the letter of 13/10/99 (until further notice) and the letter of 22/10/99, the tariff of 99 has been notified with a 25% increase compared to the tariff of 98.
It is important to remember that the tariff of engineers for 3 governing members of the 4-person board is one of thousands, but it is one of the most important issues for the organization and its members, and this shows the importance of the role of the board of directors in following up and bringing the issue to a conclusion.
The current board of directors has already prepared the tariff for 3 years 98, 97 and 99 and presented it to the 4-member board.
Except for this year, in the past two years, the board of directors has proposed the 4-member board with a percentage increase over the previous year without paying attention to the tables of the second topic and the breakdown structure. It should be repeated for 2019, and the 70-100% tariff increase without presenting and explaining the basics was not digestible and acceptable for them!
The issue that the 4-person committee raised in the final sentence of the minutes of the meeting on 8/25/99 and the general director also mentioned in the final sentence of the letter of 10/22/99 and the letter of 10/24/99!
((The organization should present the basis of pricing in the next meeting of the 4-person board for review))
This is the duty of the board of directors and representatives of the organization in the matter of setting the tariff
Observance of the principles of negotiation and discussion, timing and situational analysis of the issue were explained to the members of the 4-member board so that it was accepted. Why haven’t they done anything in these 2 years?!
Now, the board of directors and its representatives must answer 3 questions regarding the tariff:
1. Why didn’t they determine the tariff in 1997 and 1998 according to the second topic and the structure of failure and were satisfied with a percentage increase?
2⃣Why after the approval and notification of the 1997 tariff in March 1997, when it was announced that the tariff for 1998 will be the same until the future decision is made, no follow-up was done for the future decision, and finally on 26 February 1998, the tariff of 1998 was announced?!
3. Why haven’t they presented the basis of pricing to the 4-member board from May 2019 (tariff approval by the board of directors) to November 2019 (the meeting of the 4-member board), which was 6 months apart?
Or at least since 8/25/1999 when the 4-person committee has officially requested such a thing, why has no action been taken?!
The result of this follow-up by the board of directors in the last two years is:
Providing engineering services in 1998 with the tariff of 1997
Providing engineering services in 1999 with the tariff of 1998
And now, if the board of directors of the organization does not shake itself and the house, engineering services will be provided in 1400 with a tariff of 99, a year that has three effective elections, the presidency, the city council and the engineering system organization, so it is very unlikely that the opportunity to approve and Notification of the tariff of 1400 before the same February and March 1400!
Perhaps it would have been better for the organization-its representatives- in the November meeting of the 4-person board instead of protesting or leaving the meeting (according to what was heard), they accepted a 25% increase on the condition of holding an extraordinary meeting of the 4-person board and after that immediately continued to present the basics and revise again. It would be a tariff.
An opportunity that has been wasted for 2 months now, and its losses have affected the livelihood of honorable members of the organization. Don’t they say:
Preventing harm from anywhere is a benefit!
It seems that what has happened to the engineering community and is being paid for by the noble members of the organization is the result of the performance of the board of directors and maybe some news.
We will complete the final part of this article in the near future.
