Temporary redistribution of duties of aldermen
The responsibilities of the College of Mayor and Aldermen of the Municipality of Kerkrade will be temporarily divided differently. In doing so, the college is catching the duties of Alderman Jo Schlangen who underwent a major operation last week.
Mayor Petra Dassen-Housen: "On behalf of the entire organization we wish him a heartfelt recovery and we hope he will be with us again soon."
How long Alderman Schlangen, who will have to undergo rehabilitation for some time, will be absent is not yet known. Alderman Tim Weijers: "As a college, we chose to fill the portfolios of Alderman Alderman Schlangen together during his absence. We felt that, all things considered, that was the best solution."
Alderman Schlangen's responsibilities will be divided as follows:
Education, welfare and coordination VIE
Alderman René van Drunen
Culture and district alderman East
Alderman Jo Paas
Sports
Alderman Alexander Geers
Public affairs and services, information policy and automation
Alderman Tim Weijers
Weekly markets and fairs
Alderman John Roland
WMC
Aldermen John Roland and Jo Paas
We will announce as soon as Alderman Schlangen has recovered sufficiently to resume his duties.
