The Minister of Land and Property of the Republic of Tatarstan Fanil Agliullin reported on the progress of the inventory of unused real estate in the Republic of Tatarstan today at a meeting in the Government House of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov held a videoconferencing meeting with all municipal areas. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan Aleksey Pesoshin took part in the meeting.
Thus, the Ministry of Land Property of the Republic of Tatarstan together with branch ministries and heads of municipalities carry out measures for the inventory of unused state-owned and municipal property. Currently, 783 unused real estate properties with an area of more than 240 thousand square meters have been identified. m in municipal ownership, 205 unused real estate with an area of more than 100 thousand square meters are in republican ownership.
As the head of the Ministry of land and property of the Republic of Tatarstan noted in his report, the objects are distributed in 4 groups.
The first group is “construction in progress”. In this group, 19 objects were identified in municipal ownership, 2 objects are in state ownership on the balance sheet of institutions.
The next group is “unused facilities necessary for the development of the industry”. As the minister explained, this group includes objects that are not used by the balance holders because they are in unsatisfactory condition. But at the same time, the use of facilities is possible after additional capital costs for repairs. In this group, 270 objects in municipal ownership were identified, 48 objects in state ownership.
In the group of “idle objects suitable for use in other industries”, 340 objects in municipal ownership and 94 objects in state ownership were identified.
The group “idle objects in emergency condition” contains objects that are not suitable for further use and are subject to decommissioning; 154 objects in municipal ownership and 61 objects in state ownership were identified here.
As the Minister noted, out of all the 205 state facilities listed, 65% (or 133 facilities) are facilities of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan. The analysis shows that most of them were released as a result of the construction of new facilities or lack of proper maintenance.
The Minister of Land and Property of the Republic of Tatarstan also emphasized that most of the unused health facilities located in the districts are separate rooms in the buildings of medical institutions. Taking into account the specific requirements for the functioning of healthcare institutions, he called on unused premises to be kept on balance and to work out the issue of optimizing the use of space.
Fanil Agliullin expressed concern about the issue of involving unused property in economic turnover, since its redistribution between municipalities and authorities does not produce tangible results, the public posting of information also did not find a response among the business community.
As a preventive measure, the minister suggested that before starting construction planning, an analysis of unused facilities be carried out for the possibility of major repairs or reconstruction. And he noted the appropriateness of applying an integrated phased approach. This is including the redistribution of state (municipal) property between executive authorities, institutions and enterprises; conclusion of concession agreements, application of the mechanism of public-private partnerships or inclusion in the list of state (municipal) property free from the rights of third parties and intended to be provided to SMEs; an increase in renewable and non-renewable income (tendering for leasing, gratuitous use, trust management, sale at auction, depositing into the authorized capital); cancellation.
