The task is not in the formal change of the sign - akim of Pavlodar region about the transition from KSK to OSI
How in the region they are switching from KSK to associations of property owners and simple partnerships was discussed at the apparatus meeting. The head of the region, Abylkair Skakov, called the preliminary results of the officials' work in this direction a failure.
Yerzhan Salkhanov, head of the energy and housing and communal services department, said that today 1913 apartment buildings are managed by KSK, another 377 houses are on self-service. However, within a year, the form of management in the form of a cooperative of apartment owners will go down in history. From July 1, 2022, KSK should replace the associations of property owners (OSI) and simple partnerships (PT).
“The Association of Property Owners is a legal entity, and a simple partnership operates on the basis of an agreement on joint activities,” Yerzhan Salkhanov noted. - The difference between OSI and KSK is that with the new form of management, residents will only manage their home. This will allow them to accumulate funds for capital repairs of their own homes and control the flow of funds. With KSK, the funds collected from all serviced houses go to a common account, which does not allow tracing their intended use. If KSK is both the customer and the contractor for the maintenance of the common property, then the OSI will only act as the customer. That is, tenants will attract management or service companies and control the volume of work performed and their payment for a specific condominium object. At the same time, residents of each house will open their own current and savings accounts with the bank and independently manage them.
To date, only 48 OSI and 39 PT are registered in Pavlodar region. According to the city akims, explanatory work is being carried out, but residents are not active in implementing the reform. Abylkair Skakov noted that explanations alone would not be enough.
- KSK as an existing form of management does not provide the necessary level of preparation of the housing stock, especially during the heating season, - said the regional akim. - The task is not in the formal change of the sign. It is necessary to calculate the risks of this transition, if necessary, train management for OSI and PT, coordinate the work of akimats, utility companies and services. We must present an optimal model of a new form of government that is understandable to residents.
Representatives from city akimats in micro-districts could become assistants in popularizing the housing reform. Abylkair Skakov spoke about the need to revive the institute of representatives a few months ago, but so far it has not worked. Akim of Pavlodar Yerzhan Imanslyam promised to organize this work within the next month.
During the staff meeting, the results of the spring field work, which ended in Pavlodar region on June 5, were also discussed. In total, more than 1.5 million hectares of land have been sown in the region. The largest part was occupied by grain crops - 917.5 thousand hectares, fodder crops - 360.5 thousand hectares, oilseeds - 211.3 thousand hectares, as well as potatoes - 19 thousand hectares.
