In the Bad Liebenzell outdoor pool, the swimming season begins on June 20, 2020

“After a long wait, we will at last be able to start the 2020 outdoor pool season at Bad Liebenzell's outdoor pool this Saturday, the 20th of June 2020. The preparations for this season have been in full swing since the beginning of March, but then came the coronavirus and from one day to the next it was uncertain whether there would even be an outdoor pool season this year. The outdoor pool team were undeterred by the unfortunate situation and they continued to prepare the pool for the outdoor season and to ensure its normal quality.

Several contracts were awarded at the municipal council meeting of May 19.

An expert opinion, detailing the implementation or creation of a recultivation layer as part of the recultivation of the "Hochholz" landfill site, will have to be obtained. ICP in Karlsruhe was commissioned to do this work (just under € 50,000).

The corona crisis is forcing councils to deal with some tasks. One of them, the importance of which will only become apparent in the future, is the collapse in tax revenues. At the recent meeting of the local council, treasurer Lucas Hansen explained the current situation as well as its possible consequences.

Maintaining the town's liquidity is now the top priority. As a result, the cash credit in the 2020 budget was increased to € 8 million as a precautionary measure.

On May 19, the municipal council and the forest administration decided on the forest management guidelines for the next ten years.

Karl-Heinz Stierle, responsible for forest management and hunting at the administrative district office, explained at the meeting that a lot of damaged wood had recurred. Stierle explained the methods and objectives of the forest management to the municipal council.
