This will provide the IRLS Chemnitz with additional funding for the necessary modernisation of its control centre technology. All five Integrated Regional Control Centres in Saxony must leave the shared control centre network previously used and operated by the Saxony Police and implement their own infrastructure.
As a result of this urgent decision, funds totalling around 4 million euros included in the budget – which had been earmarked for the refurbishment of the Am Südring swimming pool and the expansion of capacity at the Terra Nova Campus – are being reallocated for the time being.
As the request for a funding commitment from the Free State of Saxony was made at very short notice, the Lord Mayor had to take the decision to make the necessary funds available in place of the City Council.
The City Council will decide on the refurbishment of the Am Südring swimming pool and the expansion of the Terra Nova Campus’s capacity as part of the new budget for 2027 and 2028.
