Federal executive body of local self-government

In order for the people to manage their country, a democratic system of power includes local self-government. This is observed in any municipal formations. It can be villages, cities, and if the settlements are very large, then only parts of cities - for example, quarters. The logic is this: there is a state power - this is a government that is far from the people, but the municipal one is (ideally) the people themselves, working for the benefit of themselves. True, the powers of the executive bodies of local self-government extend only to the territory of their locality, and decisions are subject to the rules and laws in force for all.

Solve, control, control

Local government is responsible for resolving a fairly wide range of issues related to the property of the municipality. Representatives of the people are elected by the people themselves, expressing their will directly. For this purpose, various self-government bodies are provided in a particular locality.

Thus, you can solve the following questions:

• Provision of all necessary for proper work of kindergartens, health care institutions, educational, related to public order;
• Use, maintenance of uninhabited, housing stock in the possession of the municipality;
• Support of the efficiency of utility networks;
• The construction of roads and their maintenance in an adequate condition;
• Landscaping of territories, accomplishment of the settlement.

Property and money

Proceeding from the foregoing, it is clear that municipalities have various properties in their possession. The most significant buildings, buildings, land. This is all the housing that has not yet been privatized, and also used for educational, cultural institutions, hospitals, other industrial facilities.

Money is also important for the municipality, so they regularly form a budget, prescribing what revenues are planned, expenses are possible. In the budget, the funds come from tax and other fees imposed on the territory, penalties, leasing objects, and the receipt of part of the profits of local enterprises. Municipal budgets are fed, including through subsidies.

How is it structured?

Public authority is a structure of two levels: state, local. The next stage of the hierarchy is non-governmental executive bodies of local self-government in the Russian Federation. To those it is customary to include all those bodies in whose responsibility zone the functions related to the management of the territory, order, execution of the established laws. The most significant activity of the executive bodies of local self-government is the guarantee of compliance in the subordinated territory with federal laws, as well as normative acts adopted at a lower level. These are local documents that establish rules and regulations on the territory, and also operate at the level of the subject of the Russian Federation.

The executive bodies of state power and local self-government have competence, regulations, functionality. In a word, these are fully formed structures for providing executive power on the ground. Usually, the mayor's office or administration acts as such authority.

How much and how does it work?

Interaction of bodies of executive power and local self-government through a hierarchical structure of power is ensured. At the same time, the fact that the executive power is concentrated in the hands of the head of the city administration - such elected representative of the people chosen to express the will of the population - is fundamental.

The local administration is called upon to monitor compliance with federal laws. Its task is to form a budget, approve it and implement it. The bodies of executive power of local self-government are engaged in the property of the municipality, managing it ideally so that the buildings are maintained in a correct state, regularly serviced and repaired. Finally, in the area of responsibility - the program of economic, social development of the territory under its jurisdiction. Undoubtedly, having formed such programs, executive bodies of local self-government should take all possible measures to implement them. The greatest responsibility falls on the head of this body, that is, the head of the administration.

And what's inside?

The internal organization of the executive bodies of local self-government is a hierarchy in which there are almost always the following stages:

• The head, that is, the one who directs the work of the body, as well as the deputies appointed to the official;
• The administrative apparatus, which includes the main staff, constituting acts of executive bodies of local self-government;
• Committees, other subdivisions;
• Units of the executive power structure responsible for certain areas, these are usually referred to as territorial.

To all the head!

So, there is a federal executive body of local self-government, and there is the most important person here. It is he who is responsible for how the government works, controls it, ensures the settlement of various issues, signs the budget and approves various programs.

One-man management is widely applicable in our country, and representative and executive bodies of local self-government will not be an exception. There is a chapter to which everyone is subordinated and who must be regularly accountable: how, what, how much is done, whether it is effective. On the other hand, the head of the administration does not just control whether the representative and executive bodies of local self-government work well. If something goes wrong, they ask him personally: according to the laws, responsibility is assigned to the manager personally.

And what can be done?

About what, for what and how the chief person in the administration of the settlement will answer, tells the charter adopted in this area. Usually it indicates that the head should form a budget and control so that the financial program is implemented. In addition, it is he who manages all objects in municipal ownership. You can do this through subordinate bodies, or you can do it yourself, directly. By the way, it's not so little. In municipal ownership, usually a lot of different institutions and enterprises. In a word, there is where to clear up.

In addition to the above, the head of the administration monitors the extent to which the rights of citizens and their freedoms are observed in the territory under their jurisdiction. He controls the legality of what is happening in the zone entrusted to him. If necessary, the head may cancel an act issued by a subordinate body, and initiate work on a program or document for the benefit of the municipal entity. In the zone of the department of the head of administration - the conclusion of agreements, arrangements aimed at the benefit of the trusted territory. Finally, the head of the executive body of local self-government awards subordinates to him, punishes, calls to account. Among these are municipal workers.

Laws and appointments

The law on local self-government, passed in 2003, tells about who can be managed by the executive body of local self-government. In particular, the 37th article is devoted to the choice of the chapter. It says that the head of education can also be the head of the administration, and also that it can be the person with whom the contract was signed. The second option is possible if the post was vacant, a contest was held to replace it and selected the best of the candidates as a result.

When a competition is organized, the task of carrying out the procedure under the law falls on the executive body of local self-government. It is necessary first to document what the competitive procedure is, that is, how it is permissible to conduct this event. Usually approve a special provision. Next, you need to pick up staff for the commission, preliminarily determining how many people you need to work correctly.

It should be remembered that not all members of the commission are appointed by the municipal executive body, some are provided at the choice of the legislative body of the subject where the event is held. This is based on the decision of the highest official of the territory. Further, the commission analyzes the applicants and chooses the best, approves, what conditions it is necessary to prescribe in the contract with the future manager and accepts an approximate contract. The head of the administration forms his idea of the structure of the body subordinate to him, and the commission has the right to approve the project or send it for processing. It is also this commission that has the right to initiate the termination of the contract with the manager of the contract.

Chapter: Who is he?

As already mentioned, the executive body of local self-government reports to the head. This can be selected during the municipal elections, as stated in Article 36 of the 2003 law on local self-government. As an alternative to elections - the decision in favor of one of the members of the administration.

If there were elections, during which some official took the place of the head of the administration, then his voice in the future will be decisive on the meetings held by the authorities. This manager can lead the administration or take the post of chairman of the representative body. But you can not divide into two chairs: either the head of the administration, or the chairman. And that and another post to the same person by law is prohibited.

Divide and rule

This system has become the best at the moment, the embodiment of the idea of a fair division of power. However, if it is a question of small settlements - for example, rural settlements, then the situation is special. In such places there are quite a few people, so two heads are committed to nothing. It is enough to choose one manager who will combine two posts, being both the chairman and the head.

Once firmly established in the new chair, the head can:

• Represent the area in other regions, municipalities, state institutions, enterprises, as well as citizens. Such a boss does not need a power of attorney, since the representative function assumes the existence of all rights and powers. This means that the head will be able to sign papers and announce positions on various issues. The exception is those cases that were noted in the law as special.
• Sign the legal acts adopted by the subordinate structures, as well as deal with their promulgation, obeying the charter of the subject territory.
• Publish acts, but without violating the boundaries of authority.
• Convene meetings not on time, but earlier, if there was a need.

To whom and how?

It should be noted that these powers apply to all heads of municipalities, without exception. It does not matter what method a particular manager came to power, it does not matter which one the body is headed by.

Each separate municipal entity has its own, original charter. It can be prescribed such conditions and opportunities that expand the powers of the official who manages the territory. At the same time, extensions can only extend to those to whom the executive power is entrusted, to those to whom the representative is entrusted, and also to all at once.

In addition, it should be noted that the official who heads the municipal formation must report to the population residing in the territory entrusted to him and monitored by the people. In addition, the representative body also has the right to demand a report from the executive local authority.

Laws are not accidental

The laws of our country are consistent and logical. Already from what the structure of the state as a whole, what normative acts operate on the territory of the whole of Russia, it follows logically that at the local level, management should be carried out separately with the limitations of the functional of each of the elements of the governmental hierarchy.

The main purpose of the existing administrative apparatus is to ensure the correct functioning of the municipality. It was with the goal of achieving effective governance that local executive bodies were introduced. At the same time, scholars in the field of law argue that to this day local self-government in Russia is not sufficiently developed, the system needs substantial improvement. However, the current apparatus, even if it works (at times, it must be admitted, through the stump-deck), science has been studied quite incompletely. In fact, they say only that the local government is executive, administrative, has certain powers. It is extremely rare to see scientific works devoted to the development of this apparatus, to perfection.

Powers and vector of development

It must be remembered that one of the most important normative acts in our country is the Constitution. This means that the local executive must strictly obey this document. Features management in municipalities are spelled out in the 132rd article. It lists what the head of the municipality can take on. This means that no authority other than those established by additional local legal acts is inadmissible. Otherwise, we will talk about abuse of authority, which in the territory of Russia is a violation of the law.

Another important aspect is that local self-government is the power chosen by the people, from the people and from the people. This means that the main task of officials is to uphold the interests of those who brought them to power. Even if in practice this is not always the case, it is necessary to strive for this. In many respects, the principles of local self-government are dictated by the ideology of democracy, which is a key direction for development for our state, as well as the pursuit of justice. And in order for the people to rule through elected representatives, it is already possible, within the law, to dispose of enterprises, educational and health institutions, in such a way as to achieve the prosperity of the subordinated territory.
