Introduction
In planning its activites the Municipality, through its
competent offices, draws up and implements a series of documents, among them:
-
Programmatic
and Provisional Relation (RPP), three-year programmation of
objectives/potential resources coherence check;
-
Financial
and Economic Programmation Document (DPEF), to support the RPP;
-
Annual
and three-year public works plan lists;
-
Special
Law for Venice-linked interventions planning;
-
Investment
and compatible resources plan;
-
Objective
Detailed Plan (PDO), strategic goals planning report;
-
Management
Executive Plan (PEG), annual competence management planning document;
-
Links
between PDO and PEG.
Among these the Management Executive Plan (PEG) has a
particular importance, having to be seen in the system constituted chiefly by
preventive budget and therefore linked to pluriennial budget and planning
previsional report: in this system it represents the plan of operations,
that is the budget as a whole embracing the entire Board activity.
Actually, the Management Executive Plan represents the
natural completion of local authorities planning report system because it
allows to support strategic planning instruments
(planning and prevision report and pluriennial budget) a “budgeting” valid tool
where, for each responsibility centre, aims, resources and management
responsibility are explained.
This allows to preventively determine
the action lines to follow in order to achieve the goals, to decide the rquired
time to achieve them, to define the necessary resources, to value wether or not
goals are realised and planning action has to be reviewed.
PEG sections
regarding air quality management
The air quality is one of the annual prevision budget sections
and quantifies the monitoring ordinary costs amount, transferred by means of
annual agreement by ARPAV, Regional Agency for Environmental Protection and
Prevention and, if considered necessary from a political point of view, of
additional resources (i.e. specific studies on air quality by means of bulk
deposition collectors networks; modelling simulations on road traffic;
additional measurements campaigns, additional PAH and Heavy Metals analyses,
etc.
Beside this additional funds are allocated for events like
Ecological Sundays, sustainable mobility and since November 2003 to traffic
limitation during winter time (s.c. Padua Charter, see Example 5P1.6.1).
The amount of these funding does not allow big infrastructural
implementation (that is rarely due to the Municipal Authority) but it
guarantees a sufficient cover to the air quality ordinary management: the
territory monitoring by means of the stationary and mobile stations network,
public awareness campaigns addressed to specific cathegories of users and
specific studies on urban atmospheric subject implementation (either in terms
of monitoring, emissions estimations or modelling tools evaluations).
Other financial
sources
Since the early 90s, Environment Ministry has promoted
economic support for urban environment improvement by means of three-year
financial plan for the environment protection that allowed Venice to provide
the town with the first continuous benzene monitoring network as well as, with
successive funding, to replace a part of the public bus park with methane
vehicles and also to implement the Car Sharing, Mobility Management and ICBI
initiative (low impact fuels).
After the Triennial Plans of Ministry, the Veneto Region
now finances interventions for the reduction of traffic pollution levels in the
Veneto urban area (DGR 4143/2003). The
assigned funds for Venice have been defined on an inhabitants number base and following the air quality critic
zones identification according to D. LGS. 351/99 (96/62/CE
Directive implementation), within the actions that Regions must implement for
reclamation of air quality. |
