Source title: Kommunen bekræfter, at værdiansættelsen af parkeringshusets grund var 0 kr.

Text version dated 12 Jan 2024

Kommunen bekræfter, at værdiansættelsen af parkeringshusets grund var 0 kr. Det ser ud til, at der gælder særlige priser, når Peter Hansens venner handler hos kommunen. Kommunen erhvervede selv grunden som led i en større ejendomshandel tilbage i 2014 for omkring 8 millioner kr.

Ifølge kommunens jurister: "Vedrørende det samlede regnskab for opførelsesomkostningerne er dette fremlagt. Dog indgår købet af grunden ikke i dette regnskab, idet det er alment kendt, at Sønderborg Kommune anskaffede Kasernen i 2014, og derfor betragtes grundkøbet ikke som en del af opførelsesomkostningerne. Dette gælder ligeledes for udgifter til tilslutning, som muligvis er afholdt på et andet tidspunkt end opførelsen af parkeringshuset." Dette kontrasterer med nabogrundene, som er vurderet til millioner af kroner, hvoraf flere ejes af den samme fond, der fik lov til at købe uden at en offentlig vurdering var tilgængelig.

Desværre er aktindsigten blevet afvist for en række centrale dokumenter, der kunne have givet indsigt i, hvorfor kommunen hurtigt besluttede at sælge parkeringshuset. Yderligere spørgsmål, som en aktindsigt kunne have afklaret, omhandler, hvorfor følgende elementer også er vurderet til 0 kr: - Projekteringen af projektet, herunder kommunens medarbejderes arbejde, - Udstyr til parkeringshuset såsom opladere og skilte, - Værdien af tilslutningsafgifter for grunden, - Omkostninger ved tilretning af veje omkring bygningen. Kommunens jurister viser begrænset interesse for at svare på spørgsmål, de finder ubekvemme.

Når der stilles direkte spørgsmål, gives ofte vage eller uafklarede svar. Nogle af de direkte spørgsmål inkluderer: Anmodning om at se salgskontrakten for parkeringshuset, Anmodning om at se ibrugtagningstilladelsen for parkeringshuset, Anmodning om at se vurderinger foretaget af eksterne parter før salget, Spørgsmål om byggeriet er godkendt til brug af handicapbusser, Spørgsmål om eventuelle foræringer af parkeringspladser til Fonden ved biblioteket, Spørgsmål om byggeriets færdigmelding, Disse og flere andre spørgsmål besvares med generelle bemærkninger om sagsbehandlingstid og kompleksiteten i at koordinere svar fra forskellige afdelinger og personer, men de konkrete svar udebliver. Ingen kommentar er modtaget fra Fonden, forvaltningen, Venstre og Dansk Folkeparti.

Trods Jyske Vestkystens omfattende dækning af parkeringsproblemer i Sønderborg, er det overraskende, at de har valgt ikke at dække denne sag. Dette rejser spørgsmål vedrørende deres redaktionelle beslutninger, især i betragtning af, at Peter Hansen, bestyrelsesformand for Jysk Fynske Medier, tidligere har haft politiske hverv i Sønderborg Kommune. Dette synes dog at stemme overens med Jørn Mads Clausens, ejeren af Danfoss, tidligere bemærkelsesværdige diskretion i forbindelse med brugen af whistleblower-ordningen.

I sidste ende ser det ud til, at meget forbliver det samme i Sønderborg. Se vurderingen på 0 kr af grunden: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1scX_hDOSry-b0ttLWw6kSKfmtAfLDZoc/view FOTO: Sønderborg Kommune

The municipality confirms that the valuation of the parking garage's land was 0 DKK

It seems that special prices apply when Peter Hansen's friends shop with the municipality. The municipality itself acquired the land as part of a larger property transaction back in 2014 for around 8 million DKK
According to the municipality's lawyers:
"Regarding the overall account for the construction costs, this has been presented. However, the purchase of the land is not included in this account, as it is common knowledge that Sønderborg Kommune acquired the Barracks in 2014, and therefore the land purchase is not considered part of the construction costs.

This also applies to connection costs, which may have been incurred at a different time than the construction of the car park."
This contrasts with the neighboring lots, which are valued at millions of kroner, several of which are owned by the same foundation, which was allowed to buy without a public appraisal being available. Unfortunately, access to documents has been refused for a number of key documents that could have given insight into why the municipality quickly decided to sell the car park. Additional questions that a document review could have clarified relate to why the following items are also rated 0 DKK:
- The planning of the project, including the work of the municipality's employees,
- Equipment for the parking garage such as chargers and signs,
- The value of connection fees for the plot,
- Costs for realigning roads around the building.

The municipality's lawyers show limited interest in answering questions they find inconvenient. When direct questions are asked, vague or unclear answers are often given. Some of the direct questions include:

Request to see the sales contract for the parking garage

Request to see the commissioning permit for the parking garage

Request to see assessments made by external parties before the sale

Questions about whether the building is approved for the use of disabled buses

Questions about any donations of parking spaces to the Foundation at the library

Questions about the construction completion report

These and several other questions are answered with general remarks about case processing time and the complexity of coordinating responses from different departments and people, but concrete answers are not forthcoming. No comment has been received from the Foundation, the administration, Venstre and Dansk Folkeparti. Despite Jyske Vestkysten's extensive coverage of parking issues in Sønderborg, it is surprising that they have chosen not to cover this matter.

This raises questions regarding their editorial decisions, especially given that Peter Hansen, chairman of the board of Jysk Fynske Medier, previously held political positions in Sønderborg Kommune. However, this seems consistent with Jørn Mads Clausen, the owner of Danfoss, previous remarkable discretion in using the whistleblower scheme. In the end, it seems that much remains the same in Sønderborg.
