In Surgut chose the head of the city. They became Andrei Filatov. Previously, he headed the Committee on Budget and Finance District Duma. During the day in the city Duma, the debates of candidates and the secret ballot of parliamentarians were held. Of the 22 present at the meeting of the people's elections, 20 people voted for Andrei Filatov. The new township officially entered office. Inauguration took place.
Andrei Sergeevich, you are already the head of Surgut. What is the first order in the post-executive post will be done?
For some employees, Sunday will be a working day. Because it is necessary, without losing time, enter the position.
From the moment you submitted documents until last days you met with Surgutians. Did you manage to identify some pain points for Surgut? Problems that will need to decide first?
Of course, the improvement issues will now be the first on the agenda. We will completely continue the work that has begun in the administration, now we will do the revision of all projects that are implemented in the city. This, of course, and the objects of education, this is a road transport network, this is definitely the questions of the shareholders. These are the things that I already define tomorrow as a working day to immerse yourself in what needs to be understood today.
If we talk about the concept of the development of Surgut: we have adopted such a concept, this is a big document, development plan and in general how we will move on. Are you already familiar with this document? And if you have a feeling that plans with the implementation are in some imbalance?
The imbalance today is manifested in terms of the needs of the inhabitants. If there is not enough places in schools, if the transport network today does not serve the city and its needs, and we see traffic jams - it is already an imbalance. But this is not a pathology that is born by someone deliberately, it is a growth task. When the body, enterprise, organization, the city is growing, there is an imbalance: something is ahead of something growing. This imbalance is definitely necessary to analyze and close today.
Surgut today is positioned as a city, which in the future can become a half-millionth. The half a millionth is imposed on the manager, managerial duties, responsibility and complexity. Do you feel about this?
Half a million babies - Is it for Surgut? If this is an endo, yes, probably, once we will become. If this is the actual state of our effective and high-quality development is another. Completely different. Maybe we will create conditions in the city of opportunity, as I designated that people will come here for their implementation. Then it will be half a millionth. And if a person cannot sell an apartment here and buy anything in return, then do we need such a half-million babes? Here the question is very debated.
What do you think it is necessary to make fundamentally from the point of view of quality so that in Surgut remains to live?
Yes, in order to implement yourself - in creativity, in business, in his profession, in order to get a secondary education here, which will give a bar above the average in Russia in terms of opportunities to obtain the profession of the future. Is it not important? Wouldn't we want, are you for your children, I have such conditions for your own conditions? That is, not through the mechanism of a simplified idea of the expansion of the city, but through the conditions that will be the internal motivation of a person: "I want to stay here and I want to implement here." Rather than: "There is no other option, I will try here." Do you feel the difference? Such an image of at least in the directions that I designated today, with the potential of Surgut really implement.
Those projects that have already begun in Surgut. I mean the renovation of Lenin Avenue, the reconstruction of the park "For Saima" ... Yes, many such projects. Will they continue?
No frozen structures or initiatives should not be, but provided that the public supports especially the organization of the common space. I know that in Surgut very active inhabitants, they are with an inner voice, and with public. Therefore, defend your interests, and that's right.
I can not ask about personnel politics. Will it wait for new people in the administration, which will be responsible for different spheres? And did you get acquainted with the team with which to work?
And I got acquainted with a part of the team, and wait for new people.
